minus-square@MothmanDelorian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 months 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-square@nomy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months 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-square@MothmanDelorian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•2 months 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-square@nomy@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglish-4•2 months agoWhy assume you have something to offer them when the opposite is likely truer.
minus-square@MothmanDelorian@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•2 months agoI don’t think I have anything to offer which is why me not being included is fine. That’s the whole point.
minus-square@qarbone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•2 months agoIdk if even they have understood the position they’re taking. 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.
