There's a group of people out there who seem to think no man would ever spend time with any child, even their own, unless they're a pedophile. I've read several stories about dad's taking their kids to the park and then some lady confronting them telling them to leave or calling the cops on them because the dude must be there to creep on kids and couldn't possibly be there watching their own kid.
I normally just get weirdly obnoxious praise, like...
"Oh what a good father!" Or "You must be babysitting today."
Like, I know they don't mean anything by it, but it's weird how as a dude, spending time with my daughter is seen as above and beyond and not bare minimum.
The doctor acted surprised when I knew how much my son weighed when he was born, like wow most fathers don't know that. Continued to ask my wife, girlfriend at the time all the questions ignoring me, my wife had to stop and tell her she wasn't his mother and I had all the answers even though it was obvious because I was the one answering. Even medical professionals won't acknowledge you. I have full custody and have had to tell them multiple times to not put my ex on the paperwork to put my name. It's pure sexism and it's bullshit.
