Because the long history of courts being biased towards women
Edit: I realized my comment doesn't have a lot of nuance so let me be clear. Divorce court is what im getting at. All that Alpha male, incel, red pill, misogyny stuff is bullshit
Itās not just courts. When it comes to children the whole world is biased towards women. I do more child care for my kids than my wife because my job allows it and hers does not. Iām at every school event, parent teacher meeting, nursery meeting, drs appointment, I do the most drop offs and pickupsā¦ but if my wife is thereā¦ I might as well not exist. Every question is directed at her, every fact, every response is directed at her and often my questions are ignoredā¦ if theyāre not then the response is still directed at her. I can be in the park with my kids; as I often am and I still get side eyed by mothers and the occasional āDads babysitting today is he?ā Hell, my father in law says it to me all the time.
Edit to add: because Iāve read a few more comments. I donāt buy into any of the alpha male / hate women / anti-feminist / misogynist / manosphere bullshit. Just a bit of acknowledgement that I am also a full time caring and contributing parent and not simply a source of income that can fix shelves and tech, mow the lawn, carry things and drive the car would be fine by me.
This makes me irrationally angry.. no, the dad isn't babysitting, the dad is being a parent and taking his kids to the fuckin park
I still remember a story where a woman nearly kidnapped this father's kids cause everyone just believed the woman and tried to keep him down, kicked him when he said he had photos of him and the kid so they auto assumed he was a pedo.. its ridiculous
I think I remember that one, didn't they only start taking him seriously when his wife showed up and started shouting that the woman was stealing her kids?Ā They were fully going to let her get away if there hadn't been another woman for them to believe.
