Dad's get frozen out of a lot of early parenting things. Anything that gives men the confidence to get more involved is good.
E.g. my wife took our daughter to "sing and sign". I decided to go along when I could. Out of 20 parents, I was the only non-mum. The next meetup, there were over 1/2 dozen dad's, and a grandad. The instructor was surprised and pleased with this. All it took was them knowing they wouldn't be the only dad there.
If a "manly" bag gives them the confidence to break the norms, then good on them!
