Daddy Issues

[Weatherman2020]

When you’re terribly progressive and want to use your baby son to “blur gender lines,” and then you find out he likes tractors. Given these fevered thoughts, all this tool-induced upset, readers may wish to peek at the photographs accompanying the article, and which may bring to mind the words grown adult, albeit ironically. Readers may also wish to ponder the prospects of a father-son relationship premised on a dogmatic, near-hysterical disdain for maleness, for “anything deemed masculine.” Jay Deitcher, a social worker and therapist and declarer of pronouns:

After turning 2 years old, my son, Avishai, started demanding that he only wear tractor shirts, and my mind spiralled into darkness. I catastrophised worst-case scenarios, imagining a world where he fell for everything stereotypically manly. I envisioned him on a football field, barrelling through mega-muscled opponents. Imagined him waxing a sports car on a warm summer day.

Men didn’t hug. Men didn’t say I love you. Men were angry. Aggressive. Inept as parents. I became determined. I was going to create a bond stronger than any parent had ever achieved, but I told myself that to do so I needed to distance myself from anything deemed masculine.

Now it gets good:

I grimaced at anyone driving a Ford car, the John Wayne of automobiles. I hated men who wore plaid. Felt ill if someone mentioned a wrench or another tool. My body spiralled into panic any time I attempted manual labour.


Oh, there’s more:

I wanted my son to reject masculine stereotypes. Then he fell in love with tractors

All my life, I’ve prided myself on blurring gender lines. But when my young son started to gravitate toward the very things I’d shunned, I wasn’t sure what to do.

The mentally ill seem to revel in their derangements more then they used to. We've always had the Springer people but todays loons have gone full NOS. This one identifies as a 12 y/o girl obviously.
His poor son may never have a chance at a normal life. I foresee lots of beatdowns as he grows up if his fathers have any influence

Trumps biggest accomplishment so far is having all the crazies step forward and be counted.

Finally something we can agree on. The crazies from both sides are now feeling free to try and out crazy themselves.

Again with the both sides bullshit. Yeah you would think grooming kids is the same as saying manmade climate change is bs.

The “Daddy” Party Is Scaring the Hell Out of the Family

Forget stern-but-loving Daddy. Trump’s GOP is downright belligerent: the Daddy who berates umpires at Little League games and makes his own kid cry for dropping a fly ball, who other parents won’t carpool with because he flips the bird while cutting off motorists. “What we have now is a violent father, and a father to be feared.

Remember late January, when Trump was visiting California to assess damage from the Los Angeles wildfires. Empathy? A promise to protect Californians from danger? Maybe something about showing bravery in the face of misfortune? Nope. After briefly praising firefighters, Trump blamed Democrats for the damage, threatened to withhold disaster relief, and spewed a stream of easily debunked lies. And Republicans loved it. “I’m glad Trump’s here at the moment,” actor Mel Gibson, who lost his Malibu home in the fires, said on Fox News. “It’s like Daddy arrived, and he’s taking his belt off, you know?”

Parents' jobs are to teach by example, not use use children as carriers of their own emotional baggage.
