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
Joke's on you : my father was so involved that he fainted in the delivery room, hit his head on the chair he had been waiting on and was evacuated by a nurse directly to neurology while my mom had her baby.
So... he wasn't really that supportive at that point, but he stayed the night at the hospital, at least.
My brother had to go to the dentist and get an operation, it was a root canal or something I think, at like 10 years old and was terrified, my dad came with him and said he'd support him. My dad didn't know there'd be needles involved and has a needle phobia, he cried and passed out on the floor. It did not make my brother feel better
