What always got me was that my wife was judged if the babies weren't wearing spotless clothes when they were out and about, and people lined up to give me medals if they were dressed at all when I took them.
Also, I don't babysit my kids, I parent them. /rant

in reply to Street Art Utopia • • •These "flip the script" ideas are genius!
Whenever you want to examine your own personal biases, looking at images like these helps a lot.
I'll be honest, I laughed.
The sight of prestigious men caring for the young & vulnerable is seen as funny, and not "funny" in a good way.
The right wing fosters public sentiment that values the opposite of caring for the vulnerable.
