This is a perfect study of different perspectives - 

As a woman watching a man receiving great praise for being a good father, Leah obviously sees it from her perspective as men getting heaped with praise for doing something women do without thinking.  

From a man's perspective, a man being heaped with praise for being a good father feels patronising and condescending.  Why shouldn't I be able parent my children, just because I'm not a woman?  

Although the sentiment can be taken either way (is this insulting to women, or men?), ultimately the conclusion is the same - fathers are parents too. 

If paternity leave was treated seriously and men had any hope of equal treatment in Canadian divorce courts it would go a long way to seeing men treated as fathers instead of just babysitters.
