  We don’t do that.

  My kid is twenty three years old. I raised her alone. Crazy, I know, but she and I are pretty close.

  To this day, I get dozens of adulating text messages on mother’s Day for “playing both roles.”

  On Father’s Day, total utter crickets except from my daughter herself.

  Fathers are here to donate sperm and fund other lives. That’s it.

    Happy belated father’s day, from someone who is glad you made this comment. I appreciate you highlighting this issue, because this is something that is sorely lacking in progressive discourse; it’s getting better, I think, but that is likely due to people like you helping people like me to understand how caring fathers are often not respected or appreciated by the world.

  As far as I can tell, the whole thing was praising the dad.
