This just made me smile, and made me miss my Dad.

This. There needs to be more of it.

/r/MensRights complains about the legal biases against men, yet doesn't challenge the traditional role of husbands nor the assumptions about how "a manly man" is supposed to act (hence the downvotes). I think this is because they are afraid of demasculization, or "the masculinity crisis". It prompts the question, what is there to lose when we lose our masculinity? Is there an inherent societal benefit to being masculine, or is it merely a status symbol? But that is beside the point. I thank you that you are able to break these stereotypes by showing that men can be as caring and nurturing as women.

edit: Challenging man's gender roles is important if we don't want male abuse victims to be ignored or child custody to be granted to women as a default.
