My local community page on Facebook keeps getting a marriage of women praising 'men' when they've seen them out doing this bare minimum. Basic parenting. This woman has posted (see picture) that 'it's nice to see dads in the park playing with their kids.'

does this not negatively impact women? Why should men get a fluffy shoutout for taking their kids to the park, women don't get a special shout out. The 'giving mums a break for 'rest bite'.. really? Yay for a man doing what he should be doing and supervising his child. Like it's something we've got to be thankful for.

trivial as it may be it riled me up the wrong way. Is the bar really that low for men? AIBU? The poster who posted this is giving me really bad pick me menz apologist vibes.

I wouldn't take any notice of someone who uses the term "rest bite" 😂

(Waiting for image to be reviewed.) but for the time being, I what was said in the image was 'just want to give a shoutout to the local dads enjoying the park with their kids, giving the mums a break for 'REST BITE' (😂)
