In our society leaving baby with Daddy is just one step above leaving the kids to be raised by wolves or apes.

The remark satirizes a persistent cultural double standard: mothers are presumed naturally competent caregivers, while fathers are treated as inept or even hazardous when left in charge. By exaggerating the fear—comparing a father’s care to children being raised by wolves or apes—the speaker highlights how absurd and insulting these assumptions are, both to men as parents and to women who are expected to shoulder default responsibility. The quote functions as social critique, pointing to how “babysitting” language and workplace/family norms can marginalize involved fathers and reinforce unequal domestic labor.
