    This is the hardest part of everything right now for me.

    I had intended to be childfree, but I have one child. It’s gutwrenching thinking of the future right now.

        While I think this poster was being unnecessarily aggressive and aggrieved about it, I kind of do feel like singling out mothers when celebrating child rearing is actually reinforcing patriarchal norms.

        We all know women still do the majority of the job, but that’s something we should be working to change by normalizing dads having a stronger role in their own home, right? There really is no need to be gender specific in celebrating parents who take an active role in their kid’s development.

          Yes I totally see your point. I see it as recognising mother’s work rather than the endless judgement and criticism they get from society, but I agree that dads having stronger roles should be emphasised

        Well I feel much better knowing that Twitter and BS are women focused communities and that makes it okay to be exclusionary.

          Some users are worth excluding. Sometimes they even make it really easy to identify them too
