Chris Evans Defending Daniel Craig From Twitter Dad-Shamers Is Everything

Chris Evans Defending Daniel Craig From Twitter Dad-Shamers Is Everything Journalist Piers Morgan took to Twitter to dad-shame English actor Daniel Craig, popularly known as James Bond, for toting his son in a baby carrier while running errands. But actor Chris Evans quickly jumped to Craigs defense, calling out just how ridiculous stereotypically prescribed gender roles are.While women are often the subjects of shame for their parenting decisions, dads arent totally exempt Morgan called Craig an emasculatedBond for caring for his son safely in public, suggesting that a dad, well, being a dadis somehow emasculating. Oh 007.. not you as well? papoose emasculatedBond, he tweeted.Captain America came to Craigs rescue in response to the Good Morning Britainhost by tweeting You really have to be so uncertain of your own masculinity to concern yourself with how another man carries his child. Any man who wastes time quantifying masculinity is terrified on the inside.Photo via TwitterTheres also the fact that fathers shouldnt be shamed for taking on parenting duties its in the job description. Fathers are supposed to be paternal.Twitter users are, to no surprise, jumping on the bandwagon and supporting Craig. Dads are sharing their own photos carrying their children in carriers on their chests by the droves. Theyre tweeting out captions like Proud dad with tactical baby vest, and I was so proud to go out in public with my son strapped to my chest and in time my daughter so the world would know I was a father, and I could still carry the shopping homeMany are also tweeting just how masculine fatherhood is, in and of itself.But, make no mistake fathers shouldnt be praised for carrying their children either. The assumption that a father, like Craig, is doing anything extra by carrying their child (or, say, going to a parent-teacher meeting or changing a diaper or visiting the pediatrician) hurts both men and women alike. As a society, we have a tendency to put fathers on a pedestal for taking on the same responsibilities that are just expected of moms on a daily basis.Parenting means sharing childcare responsibilities. Toxic masculinity hurts both men and women alike and, likewise, commending those who dont subscribe to toxic masculinity isnt necessary thats how things should be.So as Captain America says, lets let dads live. But lets keep the photos coming, too...More on dadsHerReport.org, and follow her journeys on Instagram Facebook.
