minus-squareMothmanDelorian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·13 hours agoIm a guy. Im excluded from mothers groups. Is that really a bad thing when I can’t offer the group anything as Im not a mother?
minus-squarenomy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·13 hours agoI think you as a father could probably learn a lot from mothers, so yeah it’s kind of fucked up to be excluded.
minus-squareMothmanDelorian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·12 hours agoI have no kids. If the purpose of the mother’s group is for mothers to share their problems then I have nothing to offer.

minus-squareMothmanDelorian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·11 hours agoI don’t think I have anything to offer which is why me not being included is fine. That’s the whole point.

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.
