5. Ridiculous and so painfully gender stereotyped.

It's basically saying, "parenting is for women only!"

I've also seen similar bs elsewhere that states men are not biologically inclined to be parents like women are, and that women are naturally (always a stupid evopsych explanation) better at it.

Can we put these false assumptions to rest? No, men do not feed their kids stuff off of the floor, let them watch violent movies, or put their clothes on backwards. My dad did no such thing to me. These, like other cliched stereotypes, are completely made up or massively exaggerated.

It seems that the entire ad world keeps pushing the "stupid husband" stereotype. It's everywhere.
