If your definition of equality requires mothers and fathers to be interchangeable, I have news for you: your equality comes at the price of child harm.
Babies donβt need a plastic nipple and industrial formula loaded with corn syrup, emulsifiers, stabilizers and preservatives so adults can congratulate themselves on "fairness."
They need their mothers in ways they do not need their fathers.
Only mothers produce living, adaptive, organic food, perfectly calibrated for THAT baby, male or female; adjusted when the child is sick; responsive to stress; changing across the day; with hindmilk that develops the brain and body in ways no factory can reproduce. That nourishment comes from her body alone, never his.
And this isnβt a slight against fathers. Fathers do essential things mothers cannot do. Real equality does not mean sameness. It means honoring difference without forcing children to pay the cost.
So stop measuring everything through a child-oppressive lens of adult gender equality. Children are not obstacles in your ideological experiment.

Victor Noir's grave in Père Lachaise Cemetery by Patrick Magaud, 1984.
This sculpture became a symbol of fertility: it is said that those who kiss it, leave a flower in the cap, and rub it against the genital area will have greater fertility.
