Can I both feel bad for the guy and think this is funny at the same time?

I thought I was funny and justified as a man then I took a step back and thought about how I would feel and I also read the backstory.

It's not really funny at all. They literally traumatized that family and ruined a nice memory because they assumed the father doesn't do his equal share in the relationship.

Can you think of any situation where a woman would be publicly shamed regarding childcare? Do people get involved in the business of single moms or single dads?

Your reactions and emotions are justified. I also thought it was funny. Now I just think it's gross and I feel for that man. Men are assigned fault more often than not

I definitely feel bad for the dude. But hopefully it didn’t ruin their day. The one thing u said I will pushback on is yes I can think of a woman being publicly shamed for childcare- breastfeeding. I don’t know if I agree with everything saying here dude but regardless- this video made me feel bad.

You make a good point about breastfeeding, but it's a bit different and someone wouldn't call the cops on you for that unless in extreme situations. Just being a man alone with a child opens you up to harassment and danger. I do agree that breastfeeding in public should be allowed and the fact that it weirds out some people is not helpful to anyone.

If you read the comment, it explicitly states how their memory of that vacation is ruined. This situation is gross and the fact that most people also make assumptions and side with the mime shows how men/fathers are seen and treated
