“Dumb @!$ stuff we need to stop saying to Dads”‚ by Ashley Miller demonstrates how toxic rigid gender roles can become‚ forcing men and women into roles which don’t conform with their wishes and expectations. Miller expresses her frustration with the question “Is Daddy on babysitting duty today?” with the response “Nope‚ he’s not a babysitter.

“Jessica‚ please go to the principal’s office‚” is already scary enough to hear‚ let alone seeing my mom sitting up front in tears. Hearing that my dad had a stroke at the age of 43 was shocking‚ but in all honesty‚ understanding that he might need brain surgery made me cry. Just when I thought that was frightening‚ almost exactly two years later‚ my dad suffered a second stroke. He might not make it‚ they said‚ and for over a month‚ he couldn’t even say one word.
