Not my note.
It's so easy to rip people down. Pump someone's tires. It means way more than you can imagine.

I mean, mom was there too and presumably has at least half of parenting influence on the kids. Why no paragraphs of praise for her, or even a mention beyond the fact that she guided in the trailer (which is only in there so the writer could compliment the dad more on getting it 'first try')?
Because of the implicit assumption that yeah, obviously moms are good at parenting–just business as usual–but when a DAD is good at it, strangers take the time to write a whole diatribe about it. Meanwhile mom gets no praise, she's just doing what she's supposed to in this guy's opinion.
Shit is fucked, exhausting, demoralizing, and so pervasive.
EDIT: MRAs alive and thriving here on Lemmy, as always
Nice job with that edit, lumping people who disagree with you into a group so you can easily label them with your stereotypes 👏👏👏 How tolerant of you 👏👏👏
Legit question: what’s an MRA?
I had to kagi this one myself, apparently it’s a “Men’s Rights Activist”… TIL this is a thing
Thanks for the explanation!
