[quote=Anonymous]I think if OP had come here and talked about the challenges of SAHD that include…not being able to take their potty-training toddlers to bathroom, not getting phone calls from school no matter how many times you’re listed as the primary POC, not being seen as competent by strangers, there would have been plenty of sympathy for him and recognition that there’s shared frustration (for every dad who doesn’t get called for a sick kid there’s a mom whose assistant is apologetically interrupting her meetings because the school is on the phone). However in this case, the OP is talking specifically about an area where women are experiencing a fundamentally different challenge from him: women are not safe in public spaces in the United States. So his challenges are not being seen as significant because he doesn’t address the context which is creating his challenge. [/quote]
