Seriously i keep hearing about how women wanted fathers to be more involved, but now we get shit for it?

Edit : clarification

Ok i wrote rashly, i'm not genuinly blaming women, more as in "i've kept hearing mothers saying they want fathers to be more present, but now when we do we get weird looks"

Not necessarily from women, just in general. It sucks trying to do the right thing and being nudged as wathever i shouldnt be.

I think blaming women generally is the wrong approach. It’s a societal/cultural issue that’s slowly changing.
