I only read the first couple paragraphs, but I swear a few months ago there was another article by a lesbian who basically said the exact same thing, she was sickened that her son wanted toy tractors and whatnot.

To me, femininity was connected to empathy and kindness while masculinity equated to being frigid. Men didn’t hug. Men didn’t say I love you. Men were angry. Aggressive. Inept as parents.

Contrast with...

My father was never afraid to blur boundaries. I was hugged frequently and told I love you. He, too, despised sports, but loved watching Hallmark movies with my mom. After his employees started selling home-manicure sets as a side hustle, my father spent nights sitting at the kitchen counter beautifying his nails.

What feminism does to a MF.

Has a loving father figure who cares for him, yet somehow convinced that masculinity means inept fatherhood. I don't think he even realises it just reads as a backhanded insult to his dad, either he secretly viewed his father as an inept and unloving parent, or as "not a real masculine man".

I shuddered at jokes about men being incapable of figuring out how to work a diaper, yet I felt most couldn’t. I became even more of an avid stereotyper: I grimaced at anyone driving a Ford car, the John Wayne of automobiles. I hated men who wore plaid. Felt ill if someone mentioned a wrench or another tool. When my mom-in-law bought Avishai a coverall with footballs on it, I shoved it into the depths of his closet, never to be found.

Seriously, seriously messed up ideas about fatherhood. It's like he lives his life in 80's sitcom stereotypes whilst constantly "Not like the other men"-ing himself. I will say one thing upfront: All that constant internalised guilt is not good for his son. Children are perceptive of these things.

When he asked to watch clips of construction equipment, I mindlessly pressed play. But when he demanded the shirts, I felt like I failed him. I pride myself on blurring gender lines. I wanted him to, also.

I had to make a choice: buy him clothes with pictures of heavy machinery on them and make the kid happy, or force him to wear shirts emblazoned with fuzzy animals to appease me.

The abject horror.

Uh, what the fuck even?

It's straight up child abuse.

This guy has no idea what masculine stoicism is. Stoicism is not stuffing feelings, burying them, or turning them off. It’s about having mastery over them instead of letting emotions master you.

That “father” looks exactly like I thought he would.

PandaFoo1 · 2022-06-19T13:58:04+00:00

This is dumb as hell. This is just pushing expectations onto your son but the other way around. Just let the kid decide what he likes and let him do his thing.

MrStone1 · 2022-06-19T16:15:25+00:00

That kids testosterone is already higher than his dads.

Laytheblameonluck · 2022-06-19T18:58:21+00:00

Who taught him that men don't hug? That's not true.

The case is, men don't get hugs! That's different to men not hugging.

YesYesYesVeryGood · 2022-06-20T06:13:16+00:00

This guy is acting like teaching his son about machines, fixing things, working out, and liking sports is going to transform his son into a rapist. I mean, that to me kind of sounds both sexist and racist.

odysseytree · 2022-06-19T11:06:24+00:00

Attraction towards different things is biological. Boys are attracted in things and women are interested in people. No matter how much feminists try to hide this, they can never defeat nature.

JCgamerX · 2022-06-19T15:29:30+00:00

i think we have to distance ourselves from what is masculine and what is feminine and just be good parents. empathy is a strong thing to have and I think just let kids enjoy what they want and embrace it

Ferbuggity · 2022-06-19T15:54:52+00:00

What a complete and utter wanker.

I read how his kid liking tractors made him "spiral into darkness" and knew the whole thing would be batshit.

Anih1list · 2022-06-20T06:36:14+00:00

On the bright side, these parents will be constantly tortured for their misandry and denial of the fact gender cannot be changed by social pressure.

mykoiy · 2022-06-20T08:13:55+00:00

I really feel bad for our young boys. They don't have the right to choose what they like.

63daddy · 2022-06-19T13:06:01+00:00

Any parent who tried to prevent their child from acting as the sex it is should be arrested for child abuse. Their kid should be removed and put in a less abusive environment.

ElJeffHey · 2022-06-19T14:45:55+00:00

This idiot needs a manly smack upside the fucking head. What and absolute wank muffin.

ignatztempotypo · 2022-06-19T15:30:18+00:00

Toss this guy into a room full of hard core feminists and watch him wiggle and giggle on the floor like a baby waiting for mommy to wipe his bumbum. SMH
