Nah it's not. I can see how someone would want to normalise such a shitty event to deal with it but the fathers I know and myself have been much much more involved and supportive than our fathers were
I think it's more that, when you work in that kinda field, you see so many examples of the worst kinda person. Think retail and customer service - not every customer is awful, but when you're serving all day and the vast majority of people are neutral at best or horrific at worst, it's a pleasant surprise when you serve someone who is genuinely lovely.
Plus our brain will focus on the bad while forgetting the good.
Like when you are driving you won't remember all the drivers who let you swerve infront of them or drove normally.
But you will remember that 1 driver who drove like an asshole and thats the one you will tell everyone about how people suck at driving and how dumb people are.
