Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a version of the old (and, no longer accurate) joke: a mom knows her child's favorite foods, who their best friends and when their birthdays are, the names of their teachers, and their favorite crayon color. The farther knows some short people are living in the house.
Why is it no longer accurate? Maybe you meant to way it is not generally true, but it is certainly accurate as a description for my own family.
Gender stereotypes. I can't speak for the 50's, but all of the young parents, regardless of sex, that I've personally known in the past 15 years have been hyper-involved in their kid's lives.
I interpreted more as: (autistic?) men rarely make eye contact.
