Why does the statement that mothers are heroes provoke so much angry excitement that fathers should be more honoured? Sure they should, but does that make mothers less of a hero? Last time I checked my husband and I were in this together, he as much of a hero as I (however you want to define the term - we're no firefighters but raising kids surely requires strength, devotion and selflessness). However, where I come from, fathers take on average 1 to 2 months of parental leave, mothers take 12 to 13. In terms of time spent with their babys and toddlers, that makes mothers the primary caretakers. That is for a bunch of (good and not-so-good) reasons, and it is immensley unfair both to mothers, fathers and their children. I get that. I resent that inequity. But please don't take it out on cartoonists trying to strengthen young mothers' backs.

Pssh you were probably out drinking and sleeping around and couldn't get enough sleep! You horrible filthy man! Joking aside, it's as if people forget that creating a tiny human generally involves two people... as if the father is just a sperm donor somewhere, unburdened by any childcare responsibilities.
