It’s very specific (not parents losing children), repeated twice (green and white text). I’m a father of a daughter. The thought of something happening to her made me not think right and write it.
I think that is a correct conclusion 👍. When Anon says “a dad losing his son,” my first thought was “oh are we doing the male scarcity mindset that people had throughout history?”
I can see now that it’s just poetic license to convey “parent losing a child”
First he tells about the “reactions of loved one”, so it covers every kind of loss. Then he goes on about his own perception of what hits HIM the most. It’s subjective, and there could be thousands of reasons why that particular type of relationship affects him harder than other ones. Don’t take it personally.
No, I see it too. I can’t put my finger on it, but “father to son, mother to daughter” stories often have this kind of weird undertone I can’t quite name.
It’s okay, you have a daughter and you felt like someone was underappreciating your love for her I guess.
What bothers me is that your comment started a gender war on a post about loss of loved one, but it’s not your fault

Is it like as if the stories want to vanglory (is this the English word) parents as if they were great even though they aren’t perfect?

Sorry for my reaction, I wasn’t thinking right.
