30 Things That Nobody Bats An Eye About If It’s A Guy Doing It, But Loses Their Wits If It’s A Woman Doing It, As Listed By Folks Online

I so feel this one. My ex-husband is the primary caregiver for our now 17 year old daughter and always has been. He stayed home with her while I worked, until we had our second child, who had special needs. I was his primary caregiver. I've always felt "less than" because I am not the typical mother figure to her like her dad is. It's not a failure, she has a "mother", he just happens to have a penis. Because I chose to work and support my family doesn't make me any less. So infuriated that people treat others this way

My cousin took his wife's name so that the family name would not die out with her being the only female child. I've been married twice and didn't change my name either time. I like the name I was born with. I think it's weird to all of a sudden change your name. Ok, maybe not "all of a sudden" considering there was a marriage involved. but I'd like to keep one name my whole life, it's who I am. Also, my university degrees are in that name, I'd like to honor those accomplishments. Not to mention that changing your name on everything takes a lot of time and effort. Hate if you want, just my opinion

I think that like anything some people put more effort in. It also goes to time, financial resources and creativity. Some have it in spades, others not so much.

50 Fun Facts About Cats To Sink Your Claws Into

Cows, pigs and dogs do too! Zebras have unique stripe patterns. Whales are identified by their tail markings. Gorillas and chimps have unique fingerprints like us. And Koalas too, they've confused Australian forensic teams before😹🤣😹

Hey Pandas, What's Something You're Afraid Of Doing Alone?

I was afraid for 27 years of living by myself, supporting myself and facing who I'd become as a result of capitulating to my narcissistic husband for so long. Then he forced a divorce on me and after almost four years on my own, I've realized how stupid I was for being afraid. I'm finally free.

Why should it be a failure? Not being a primary parent doesn't mean not acting as a parent at all. Some parents take of their kids equally and there is no primary parent. Besides, all it means being a "primary caregiver" is the first to be contacted in emergencies and being called upon for other things involving the kid. It doesn't mean one parent is doing less parenting and not spending time with the kids.

Getting shouted at constantly by your spouse. For women, it's abuse. But men are just expected to suck it up

Speaking as someone from Spain who has seen this in many a wedding... We are not as aware as people from the USA when it comes to cultural appropiation, specially of Native American culture. People here still dress up as "indians" for Halloween and Carnavales. It is definitely offensive, but we're still catching up. (Sorry for any typos, English is not my first language).
