How important do you feel male figures are in parenting?

Having grown up without a father I’ll just say this. I am SO glad I am a man. Holy be-jeezus you ladies do so much, have so many responsibilities from school to dinner to the damn clothes the kiddos wear everyday. It’s so damn easy doing the “typical” guy standard of going to work, making money, going home to a fresh meal and well. Basically just going to bed. So glad I’m a man. Much respect for all women.
