"As a mother/father..."

Like sure, I'm wiling to concede you have life experience on things involving babies and kids.

But, that doesn't mean you're also a scientist/psychologist/teacher etc. Fact is, you might have offspring but know jack shit about some issues involving kids.

Especially if you use that to back up idiotic arguments like being anti-vaccine, or pretend you're the damn expert on autism.

Ditto if you use being a parent as a shield for being a homophobe or whatever else you're using your kids as a shield for. If you can't explain to lil' Timmy that sometimes two girls or boys fall in love with each other, the problem is with you, not your kid or the world.

Yeah, usually when someone prefaces their opinion with "as a mother/father", it's used as a credential flash to give their opinions more weight. Also, it's not like the world is short on mothers and fathers - and it's not like there's a monolith of opinion among parents - so I'm really not sure why you have to express your parental status before talking.
