    America is just like every other highly patriarchal society: No

    Some men are wonderful dads and incredibly involved but culturally speaking American men still very much buy into the concept of “woman’s work” and included in that is women raising his kids for him

      It doesn’t help that men looking after thier own kids is seen as “babysitting” or even worse a predator.

      There’s plenty of YouTube reviews of men taking thier kids to the park and watching them play while being a parent. Then female parents call the damn cops on the clear dad being a dad.
