  • However, on the social side, (brains, emotions, support networks, etc) it’s usually a bad sign when the source says anything is exclusive to men

    This feels like a dangerous take.

    I just yesterday participated in a group for men, because we make up 3% of my industry and suffer a lot of discrimination.

    Likewise there are men’s sheds all around my country for men to get together, it’s hugely important for giving them a space to connect and story tell. They’ve led to decreases in suicide rates for older men.

    To generalise men’s support networks as bad because you’re probably only thinking of the manosphere hurts the rest of us. And it is sexist, however minor it may seem.

    That’s the same excuse people who hit their kids use. You could have turned out even better, with better care and education.

    As for tracking nappy changes, it can help with assessing any health issues and tracking long term trends, it’s useful for toileting as we can see how frequently and volume of accidents to help understand their needs for prompting, it’s useful for parents to know if for example they’re going out straight away and need to change before hand, and it’s useful for child protection (our records show that this educator changed the nappy at the time of the incident etc).

    Now maybe you never ever needed any of this, that’s great but it still helps other people. Helicopter parenting is not letting your children go play with friends and driving them to piano lessons at age 3, it’s not checking a nappy record every now and then.
