I pick up the #kids from school, take them to the park where I play with them and give them their afternoon snack, take them home, keep them busy for a while, bathe them in turns, prepare and give them dinner, clear up the kitchen a bit, brush their teeth, prepare a baby bottle, read them a story in bed and get them to sleep. And at the time of writing these lines they are still alive. (My wife has a long work day plus some appointments today — other times it’s the other way around, of course.)
After all that I feel superhuman.
I’m not asking for a medal or anything: this is my responsibility, and I chose this life.
But it makes me realise that in spite of all my complaints about modern #feminism (and boy do I have some complaints about modern feminism) and my tireless defence of men and fathers, it’s clear that
#MUMS ARE FUCKING AWESOME, AND THEY HAVE BEEN AWESOME FOR MILLENNIA.
Much respect.
@tripu (And yes, there are things to hate, since trolls are a thing. Some say “feminism”, but are facists and nothing else)
@tripu Thank you for the overview, i always have trouble with searching specific topics from a specific user!
@admitsWrongIfProven Me too. The Mastodon UI isn’t good for that.
@tripu Idk, do you complain about “modern feminism” or about unhinged trolls using feminism as a vessel?
Sounds good in general, but i think you invite hate by not being explicit enough: what are the things you hate?
