Yep. She kept hating on "feminism" for slagging all men (as she claimed) yet she had no problems with the same kind of gender essentialism in the other direction. Basically women are a bunch of scheming, hateful, neglectful, domestic abuse-fabricating, selfish, spiteful bitches. She also whined about how women get custody in 90% of the cases. Let's be honest here: in the vast majority of cases, even when both parents are working, the mother is still doing the lion's share of the parenting.

Frolic and I are, pretty much, as close to equal co-parents as any couple gets. He takes care of the kids as much as I do, once they're not babies anymore. But despite that, if one of the kids is going to the hospital, I'm the one that goes (if I'm here - he did have to take Elder once, when I was working). The longest I've been away from the kids is 3 days; he's gone away for 6 weeks. Even with both of us being at home and co-parenting equally almost all the time, there's still differences. He won't/can't sing to a sick child for a couple hours straight. I can (an have). I am still the closer parent. I have no doubt that in most or almost all of the 90% of cases she's complaining about, there was far more of a division and the women were the far closer parent, because a dad being as hands-on involved as Frolic is still somewhat unusual, simply because few dads work from home.

Wow, she sounds like a seriously fucked-up person.
