A man shared a heartfelt post appreciating his strict but generous uncle who supported his education and guided him through life. One user commented:
“Only uncle from mother’s side can do this.”
This comment reinforces the stereotype that only maternal uncles are caring or generous. While it may reflect personal experience, it unfairly dismisses the many paternal uncles who are equally supportive and loving. Kindness and generosity are traits of individuals, not determined by which side of the family they belong to.
Red flag 🚨: Reducing family members to stereotypes based on maternal or paternal lineage spreads bias and undervalues genuine character.
