This is not a thing, yet…
Being a hypocrite seems to be more complicated, and more common than the easy shut down we use it as.
I am hypocritical in many ways – I am a fan of veganism but I eat meat. I reflect the complexity of such decisions, not the poster girl.
We all know of the religious leaders who damn homosexuality, yet privately partake in it.
Politicians who damn a certain way, yet they did it themselves.
And now, this, the absentee father who criticises absentee fathers.
I posit that both can be true. The what you want and the who you are.
Hypocrites are OK!
