So would you say that the commenter you’re replying to needs to stop complaining and just fix his own problems? And that in general men need to quit talking about feelings of sadness and disappointment (aka throwing a pity party)? Because, my guy, lol. The irony is absolutely impeccable.

They are complaining but didn’t participate in the planning and therefore surrendered all agency

Only thing left is complain why they didn’t think of him when he wasn’t around

Which is a totally valid complaint man. That’s what the whole fuckin article is about. That’s what all this is about. A man is allowed to feel disappointed people didn’t think of him when he wasn’t around, and he’s allowed to express that disappointment out loud. You’re literally perpetuating the cycle by enforcing toxic ideas of masculinity, this idea that you either fix your own problems or shut the fuck up about them.

He noted only that the fathers were not recognized during the assembly. We know nothing about who was invited to participate in the planning.

As stated in my other reply, there was no parent participation in the planning of this. It was a done by the preschool in its entirety. No parents, mothers, fathers, or other legal guardians had a part in planning things.
