This morning a neighbour asked me whether I wouldn’t be interested in enrolling my son for such a pre-playgroup. But, she added, it’s only for mothers, fathers are not allowed. Apparently the justification is that otherwise mothers from certain ethnic minorities, where gender segregation is an important issue, would not attend with their children.
As a father who spends a considerable amount of time with his children and who also happens to have fairly outspoken views on cultural and moral relativism, I do not think I need to comment this time around.
