Views just like opinions cannot be false. There is no point in being offended by someone else's views and opinions. People have always had differing views and always will have.
Regarding fathers I am more in line with Islamic law, where child care is the exclusive right (not only duty) of women.
"A gay man is not a real man" is not a neutral opinion, it's offensive and totally ridiculous.

Of course my opinion is not neutral, quite to the contrary, I tend to have rather strong and indeed controversial opinions. They are just my opinions, I don't care whether others share them or not. But I certainly won't keep my opinions to myself just because someone might feel offended. I don't like the way outrage and offense are abused today in order to oppress non-pc opinions.
A father lacks the maternal instinct to care for a child the way only a mother can and a child needs.
What the hell are you talking about? Fathers have a very strong natural bond to their children. And it's not only genetic. Also adoptive fathers or stepfathers can create a bloodline-like bond towards the adoptive children.

Really? Good luck then.
It's not impossible of course, but it is anything but the rule. In fact, in almost all families I know it is the other way round. There is one exception, but that is probably the mother's fault as she is not a very nice person and good mother as far as I can tell.

It's not about political correctness.
There's a difference between opinions and discriminatory languages. "Gay men are more like women", "gay men are not real men" etc. are certainly the latter.
Dublin was founded by Norwegians, probably people from Bergen city. People from Bergen are not known for being Cold.
