But the library has ads out right now that literally say, "this ad is for moms" about their children's programs. I took my kids to tons of library programs when they were pre-school age, and while moms were the majority I was rarely the only dad - maybe 70/30 on average.
GMG to see tax money reinforcing negative stereotypes about gender roles in parenting.

It’s especially blatant in elementary school. From the multiple teachers who exclaimed
if only they could all be little girls! during parent-teacher interviews, to the teachers always directing their responses to my wife, regardless of which one of us asked the question. I get that moms are typically the most engaged parent when it comes to young students. But it’s a bad look for educators to lean in to that bias.
