(57,843 posts)I haven't looked after all men. I've looked after my father, husband, boyfriends, etc... Not all.
I don't know why there are so many absentee fathers but I never go for essentialist explanations. I expect the explanation is sociological but I'm not going to speculate. Presumably if men were giving birth they wouldn't have penises anyway. A penis doesn't facilitate that particular biological process.
I could have comment on your sexist remarks, but there are so many such remarks around this site they aren't enough hours in the day. For example, above you claim men who would give birth would be women. 1) that assumes there is nothing to being female other than child production, that you see their worth as limited entirely to producing children. 2) If men giving birth were actually women, your point about misandry wouldn't hold at all. Then they'd only be women and fodder for you and your buddies to call fat, lazy, and crazy.
Now, I'm sure you'll go into Meta and ask your friends to delete their horrifyingly insulting comments. Yet somehow I don't think you care about that. Those attacks are only directed against women, after all. We hardly count.
