That was some of the gayest shite I've ever read.

A whole lotta stupid in that paragraph, but this is the one he's going to be most disappointed in.
If he wants to bond with his son, he needs to be the man, not the woman. A son is wanting a man to learn from, from the time he can walk until he's grown. Not having a man to look up to is what has created most of society's problems- very likely including this idiot dad's warped sense of what fathers are supposed to be.

Least shocking plot twist ever: white dad wrote the article.

My kid loves tractors. Really he loves anything construction, lawn equipment and farming equipment. He is a typical boy.

After turning 2 years old, my son, Avishai, started demanding that he only wear tractor shirts, and my mind spiraled into darkness. I catastrophized worst-case scenarios, imagining a world where he fell for everything stereotypically manly. I envisioned him on a football field, barreling through mega-muscled opponents. Imagined him waxing a sports car on a warm summer day. I have always judged other guys who seemed boxed in by masculinity, but 3 ½ years ago, when I became a stay-at-home dad, my bias skyrocketed.
fricking lunatic

While the midwife and her assistant cleaned up, my wife, always one to joke, even soon after giving birth, bragged that she had a connection to our new baby that I could never attain because men couldn’t bond with babies like women could.
What a count. And I don’t say that word lightly.

To me, femininity was connected to empathy and kindness while masculinity equated to being frigid. Men didn’t hug. Men didn’t say I love you. Men were angry. Aggressive. Inept as parents. I became determined. I was going to create a bond stronger than any parent had ever achieved, but I told myself that to do so I needed to distance myself from anything deemed masculine.
What a stupid, closed minded, stereotypical, self righteous a-hole.

It's wild how far the idea of "being a man" really is from actually being a good man. The guy's dad was so jacked up that he seriously thought men can't hug or say I love you. All of these people who hate the idea of "man" are just struggling from shitty men in their young lives.
My kids are still young 10, 7, and 7. They all need different things from me, but most importantly they need to see me treat their mom well. Have a solid foundation with God, and help them to find some self confidence.

I've found some of the least accepting people on the planet scream they really are the most accepting.

had difficulty understanding my son’s interest in tractors, and at first, I tried to nudge Avishai toward different videos and clothing. But then I remembered how hard it was for my father to trust me to follow my passions, and the way we connected after he finally did. I took on being an at-home father because I wanted to bond with my son, and I realized that meant I needed to let him discover his own interests. He had to define his own identity, not influenced by my own bias of what I deemed to be too masculine.
This entire article is written so that he can get virtual and literal pats on the back for raising a normal kid. It’s nothing about the kid, but all about how courageous he is, simply for being a normal parent.

This is frankly insane. My dad is my hero and my biggest role model. It took a long time, but I did come to understand he is human and therefore has flaws, but I still stand by what I said above. I've made sure to tell him I love him, I've hugged him, and when he toured my office he told me just how damn proud he was of me, I teared up.
I'm not some idiot who drives a jacked up F-50000 chugging Mountain Dew mixed with Monster, but I'm sure this guy would say I'm toxic. I lead by example, I get shite done, and I will from time to time get angry. I like competition, and thrive on helping others succeed as it fosters that fire inside of me to be better.

"Gender roles are a social construct!"
"Kids should be able to play with whatever toys they want! There's no gender associated with toys!"
"OMG, my toxic male child is playing with a tractor!!"

Hopefully Avishai will slap the shite out of his dad one day

This is true, the flip side is that he would also have a connection to the baby that she could never attain because women can't bond with babies like men can. That's the way it is meant to be. 2 parents, 2 different bonds, 2 different responsibilities in raising the child. That is the balance in nature.

He sounds like someone who suffered a traumatic childhood and is trying to undo the damage with his son without actually receiving proper help to confront his real issues.
