Leah McLaren's only fault is that she expects men to be men.

I think the comments prove that too many of the dads she is talking about aren't just parents -- they are special snowflakes.  Unceasing praise to them is not a rare honor -- it is an everyday loin-given right.  They have proved they are fertile males.  But they are not men.  At least, not in the traditional, quiet sense McLaren expects.

She is finally older than the way of the world.  Congratulations to her.
