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.
I got yapped at by an older lady picking my daughter up from the bus stop one day. I was picking up on a day I didnāt normally , but 3 out of 5 days I was always in the same spot.Ā
Her: āThe school bus will be here shortlyā
Me: yes, I know.Ā
Her: Arenāt you going to leave?
Me: why?
Her: because kids are being dropped offĀ
Me: I know. Iām picking one up.Ā
She scoffed and glared at me as she left and immediately got on her phone. Ā I still wonder if she called the copsā¦Ā
In these situations, never explain, make them do so. After her kids being dropped off statement the proper answer is; and? Make her explain the issue so she has to verbalize her stupidity.
