People Are Talking About How Men And Women Experience The World Differently, And It’s Kinda Infuriating

2.

“Men are infantilized about child care. I’ve always been the primary contact for my kid’s school because I have a more flexible job. I never got a single call, but they called my wife every singe time. I know everything about my kid’s schooling and medical history (not to imply she doesn’t), but every teacher, doctor, nurse, or counselor that we’ve ever met with just assumes that I’m window dressing and just filling in.”

“When they were little I was just “babysitting”, when I’d take them out of school it was assumed to be some kind of “Daddy daughter day!”, if I was scheduling appointments I had to answer comments about, “Check with your wife if this day is good?” My kids are adults now, so I don’t have to deal with it too often, but it was a constant battle for their entire lives.” – chogram
