  The existence of the term “biological dad” implies the existence of an “artificial dad”

    Adopted dads are technically artificial dads.

      I don’t think that’s really true.

      Dad is a title, bestowed by anyone for any reason.

      “Biological dad” may have a specific meaning, but “dad” does not.

        It was a joke to begin with, and I’m just trying to run with it. Don’t overthink it :)

      What about step dads?

        In which context? They’re probably MFers too. If you mean artificial or biological… Could be either, but let’s go with 3rd party replacements.

    I would say that an artificial dad is the partner of a married single mom.
