"Fathers are biological necessities, but social accidents."

Post 162363 by Johnny Wallflower deleted for the following reason: Sorry but while it seems like this might be a cute thing with willing participants, it's not really clear if some or many of the photos are of unsuspecting people (&/or ganked photos), and therefore more "shaming" and less gentle, loving "laughing-with." If you find more context about that, just let us know! -- taz

Post 162230 by kliuless deleted for the following reason: Hey, sorry, if we the main links are all paywalled so we have to resort to caches of everthing, that's probably too much; maybe you can repost with other sources on the same topics and the paywalled ones as mere supplemental ones? -- LobsterMitten
