My God. The fact that this kind of discussion even needs to be had shows the insanity our society has fallen down to. A Mother is a MOTHER.. she can be the driver, she can coach the baseball team… she’s STILL the mother and the same does to dads… how hard is it to understand really?

I get the impression that many people are becoming more and more absorbed and shaped by what they hear and read in the media. People eventually forget to use their own heads and think for themselves.

[@yanaroro8863]

The term "mother" traditionally refers to a female parent, but in today's world, families come in all shapes and forms. Some transgender men who have given birth might identify as mothers. It ultimately depends on how individuals define their roles within their families.

[@itsbmeGaming]

By this logic, I am a plumber because I did something a plumber could do like fix a leak under my sink. My problem with this "inclusiveness" is that it makes people feel entitled to things. It'd be like growing up taking karate and someone else that didn't qualify for the next belt up feels like they're entitled to the same belt color because they're left out somehow not being the same higher rank. There is nothing wrong with a single father not being called a "mother". The love they have for their kids doing the best he can is what really matters, not getting some title. A man acting in absence of a mother but not being called a mother doesn't take away from the good he's doing. Needing a title for affirmation is ridiculous. The quality of your parenting and the effort you put into being a parent is not somehow diminished just because you're not called a mother or father. I have a step-daughter, so I am the step-father. So does me not being the biological parent mean that my love for my beautiful daughter is not of the same caliber as a biological parent and I am less of a parent because I am not by definition a "father"? No. That's silly. This isn't fairness; it's entitlement.

I wouldn’t all of a sudden morf into a mother 😂😂😂😂😂

Why not just talk about being a good parent, cause it's parenting that your child needs and not discussing wether you are a father or a mother. The capability to nurture and care for a child isn't "to mother". Father's are able to do this without calling themselves a mother. What Bullshit is society discussing about? Haven't we got enough problems in this world? Go home and love your child as best as you possibly can and stop labeling yourself with gender identities. Your child doesn't care.

actually it is. Culrutrally to nurture and care for, to bring up with affection is literally the definition of the verb "to mother"

LADY STOP!!! Fathers ARE fathers!!! AND mothers ARE mothers!! ONCE AGAIN PIERS IS ON POINT!!! Thank you for standing up for US MOTHERS, PIERS AND SONIA!!!

I'm a woman, but I would always agree that men should lead, this debate right here proves so moreover. How could these women degrade womanhood just because they wanted these mentally unstable people to do what they wanna do? What an embarrassment.

I've noticed that when a single mother FATHERS a boy; he will often resent her. That is not the way he understands parental treatment. A man can tell a boy that he is not BEING a man but it seems the boy resents the same coming from a mother. She has to do it differently, motherly...to get the same result. Take a look at 100 single mother's sons and you'll see resentment in many cases.

Facts. Mothers have to do it differently than man. There things women can’t say and if they do it has to be a different way. There is man code respect.

[@commoncents4145]

@@majormajor6016 right? Ideally you want both parents. There was a show called "wait til your father gets home." That's what a young boy understands.
