It's infuriating, but then again we're men. We have an unearned privilege, and we're the oppressors, not the oppressed. We're not allowed to complain about something discriminatory against us - after all, the serious discrimination only happens to women and minorities.
That was completely sarcastic, but I truly that believe (a) it sucks, and I don't like to be discriminated against but (b) I have no hope for it to change, because unlike other groups we're not seen as ones who can complain about how society describes us.
I'm not a father, but I know that someone insulting my ability to do so would be absolutely unacceptable.
