I was perhaps trying to be more precise than necessary. Thinking of my work colleagues, there's a case where A and B had a child together, so they're both parents, but they've also separated and B (who works at my place) does all the child-raising and so is the one to worry about daycare availability and pricing and such. A is still a parent, but not much involved in the child's life. This term was not meant to be a commentary on the kind of language that comes out of HR departments, nor a statement on gender identity.
