Wow. Sorry to hear that you've had to experience that.

For what it's worth: also Australian with a relatively fresh human (toddler). My partner and I try to share care relatively evenly so I get a bit of playground/park time in and I'm yet to experience anything like this. I truly hope that continues as that sounds terrifying.

There's a whole set of other societal aspects, particularly support services in the lead up to and after birth, that are completely asymmetric or non-existent for fathers though.

I suspect GP is exagerating. I've been an Aussie stay at home dad for years and know many others, and I've never seen or heard anything remotely close to this.

There are for sure social gaps and service gaps, but assaults in the street like the GP is describing seem... far fetched.
