Dusty or a dry ice spill
I’ve seen this a few times and the dry ice is the worst cause it will burn your skin if you touch it
Why did someone send me this and claim it was proof women’s rights were under attack?
Yeah women aren’t the only caregiver and often due to socialization they push males out of parenting roles and often undermine males in these situations.
It’s actually part of the whole “women have historically been the child raisers” narrative. As a society women see themselves as the only ones who know how to raise kids and we even specifically use women as symbols of good parents despite men being statistically just as good at parenting.
You aren’t being attacked by this and if you see this as an attack you are a brainwashed idiot who thinks women’s only role is a walking womb who is meant to push out spawn and then raise them while the rock person you are married too go and dies in a war or something.
The Crucial Role of Fathers in Child Development and Overcoming Maternal Gatekeeping
As a psychotherapist, I've observed firsthand how deeply impactful a father's role is in a child's emotional, psychological, and behavioral development. Current research underscores the importance of paternal involvement, highlighting the structured, authoritative approach fathers commonly adopt, characterized by clear expectations, discipline, and consistent guidance. These aspects of fatherhood foster independence, emotional resilience, and social competence in children (Frontiers in Psychology, 2022).
Why Fathers are Essential
Fathers uniquely contribute to children's growth through structured play and consistent discipline, significantly influencing children's emotional regulation, academic performance, and social interactions. Research shows that children with engaged fathers exhibit improved cognitive development, better behavioral outcomes, and enhanced emotional stability. Conversely, the absence of a father correlates strongly with increased risks for mood disorders, behavioral problems, and difficulties with emotional regulation (PMC, 2023).
Understanding Toxic Maternal Gatekeeping
While mothers often excel at nurturing, some behaviors, especially maternal gatekeeping, can inadvertently hinder a father's involvement. Maternal gatekeeping refers to behaviors where a mother may limit or restrict the father's access to the child, often through criticism, control, or undermining his parenting efforts. This behavior frequently stems from unresolved attachment issues, emotional insecurity, or distrust, particularly among mothers who themselves lacked a father figure in their upbringing (PMC, 2016).
Maternal gatekeeping not only undermines paternal engagement but can perpetuate generational cycles of absenteeism. Women raised without fathers are more likely to experience similar patterns in their own families, leading to ongoing familial dysfunction and emotional instability (Fatherhood.org, 2023).
Economic and Emotional Challenges in Father-Absent Households
Families without an actively involved father, particularly single-mother households, commonly experience economic hardships, increased stress, and limited social support. These stressors can negatively impact children's psychological and emotional well-being, highlighting the need for paternal presence to provide stability and structure. In contrast, single-father households typically report higher incomes and better resource accessibility, underscoring the socio-economic advantages of paternal involvement (Pew Research Center, 2013).
Strategies for Overcoming Maternal Gatekeeping
Fathers facing toxic maternal gatekeeping can employ several effective strategies:
Open Communication: Initiate respectful, non-confrontational discussions focused on the child's best interests.
Clearly Defined Roles: Establish written agreements outlining parental responsibilities and visitation.
Legal Support: Consult legal professionals early and document interactions meticulously.
Mediation and Therapy: Engage in mediation or family counseling to facilitate healthy co-parenting communication.
Parenting Education: Participate in parenting workshops to strengthen parenting skills and demonstrate commitment.
Child-Centric Approach: Prioritize the child's emotional health and consistently avoid negative speech about the other parent.
Strong Emotional Connections: Maximize quality time to build trust and strengthen bonds with the child.
Professional Support: Utilize individual and child-focused counseling to navigate emotional challenges and familial tensions.
Conclusion
As a psychotherapist, I've witnessed the transformative impact that involved fathers can have on their children's lives. Addressing and overcoming maternal gatekeeping behaviors is critical for fostering healthier family environments. By advocating for structured paternal involvement, supporting co-parenting strategies, and understanding the root causes of gatekeeping, we can significantly improve children's developmental outcomes, ensuring emotional, social, and psychological health for generations to come.

He isn’t he is defunding universities who speak out against him
Guess who also did this back in the 1930s ….
Trump apparently sent out documents asking if certain professors were “Jewish” and then demanding to know if there were any anti semitism they wanted to tell the gov.
Any Jewish person who sees that and doesn’t instantly realize how dangerous and insane this is… fucking forgot something very important
You will be used as a scapegoat for all the bs trump is doing eventually. Don’t comply and speak out cause shit is gonna get bad here for everyone not just “Hamas supporting Antifa super soldiers trans agenda socialist ideology” whatevers. Don’t fall for this propaganda Zionist bs they have been pushing cause they don’t give a fuck about your ass anymore than they care about the gays or other brown people around.
Imagine defending an uber rich oppressor cause she has a vagina and is a bigot ….
Couldn’t be me I fight for the rights of people not rich pigs who smoke cigars and drinks alcohol worth more than most people’s monthly rent.
Gosh trans people are really the number one issue on these people's minds at all points in time. How is it possible that a billionaire is using his money to influence the American governments and JKR and trans people are still a fucking talking point.
*man does some bullshit*
"oh if JKR could do the same bullshit she would! You see, trans people..." Like are we actually just writing baseless lies about women now? trans exclusive is really the worst thing a woman can be huh
This is why I have adopted the “identify yourself in the streets or in the morgue” philosophy
How do I know they are ICE and not a real trafficker trying to kidnap and abuse a child or woman? Like I live in a CC state and I have the right to defend myself and others so either present a badge or each a bullet Mr “federal agent” that is dressed like a gang banger for some reason
“When you have to break the law just live another day you know your living in a failed state”
Same
Having recently decided to purchase a firearm for target shooting, home defense and maybe hunting at some point it’s hilariously easy
A five minute background check and zero documents outside a drivers license which btw any halfway decent forger can make in an afternoon
Also I live in a state that doesn’t require CC permits to carry a pistol
So I could get a fake ID, pass a background check and be able to walk around with a gun legally speaking tomorrow if wanted
THE WEEK February 21, 2025
- America has school shooting leading to over a dozen dead children
“Well thoughts and prayers as such tragedies are gonna happen in a free nation oh well whatever no one cares blah blah blah”
- one dude executes a healthcare CEO cause he denies coverage and gets rich off the suffering of others
“how disgusting is this nation that it sits by and did nothing to help this poor ceo that had a family and did nothing wrong we need gun reform and more protection for such heinous acts”
They literally cared more about this stain on society than they did your children
Wait he isn’t wrong though. Reactionaries want state punishment while leftists and such are about reform and isolationist facilities for dangerous people not state sanctioned castration which 1. Is cruel punishment by every definition and 2. Won’t stop someone from raping another person.
That aside I will take the L for the original comment I made she was legit mad at him over the pedo and rapist stuff
Males…
