I think you as a father could probably learn a lot from mothers, so yeah it's kind of fucked up to be excluded.

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I have no kids. If the purpose of the mother’s group is for mothers to share their problems then I have nothing to offer.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Why assume you have something to offer them when the opposite is likely truer.

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 0 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I don’t think I have anything to offer which is why me not being included is fine. That’s the whole point.

Idk if even they have understood the position they're taking.

Their "Why should I be barred from taking advantage of anything that might benefit me?"

vs

Your "I am have nothing to give and no way to meaningfully help, so I'll stay out."

Is very telling.
