That was some insane spin.

Frankly, as a progressive I find you accusing me of "looking to be offended" becaause as a father of 3 I was offended by an article you posted where the author considers fathers mere "background figures" in the raising of their children even more offensive than the actual OP.

I mean while I'm sure you don't realize it or intend to, you sound like every right winger I know.

"Blacks just looking to be offended"..."women just looking to be offended"....sound familiar?

My children are the most important things in my life. And like almost every dad I know who didn't grow up in the 50's, I have sacrificed and equally shared in the emotional and physical caregiving of my children since the day they were born.

Is it really so hard for you understand why calling fathers "background figures" as it relates to the caregiving of their children would be like a smack in the face offensive?
