I really like Fernsong and his relationship with Ivypool has grown on me, but what exactly is the point of his character? It's pretty clear he's the stay at home dad character Kate was hinting towards, but if I recall correctly, it's also been stated that the Erins wanted to break gender stereotypes... but what gender stereotypes?
There have been attentive fathers in the series before and toms and she-cats are pretty equal for the most part. Leafstar and Squirrelflight even managed to have their own kits while being leader and deputy respectively. And before deputies succeeded their leaders, the former would pick their own kin to succeed them—often their own kits. Even WindClan's first leader Windstar led her Clan while still being a mother.
