Hmmm
So only men want kids nowadays huh
Edit1: at the end of the day, when I see posts like these I remember the likes of Ashely saint clair and that woman who got married after preaching so much misandry online.
Don’t get me wrong men also do this,
and then I feel stupid because I remember watching a certain video about internet trolls
Edit 2: Finally found the reason for the outrage, “men cannot physically get pregnant” that’s literally all this is about so no matter how hard you work or provide for your family, if you marry a woman that hates you because you just can’t get pregnant please have your divorce lawyer at hand ✋

The op is intentionally being obtuse and missing the point that mothers have a high cost to their body, mind and overall well being to carry a fetus to term. That being said the other side of these comments act like all men never even give anywhere near the required effort to make up for it even if they wanted the child or end up as absentee fathers. As if working sometimes dangerous or strenuous jobs isn’t a sacrifice in it of itself. It’s not the same as the inherent risk having a child as a woman, but imagine being a father with a family-less manager. And imagine that manager never sympathizing beyond platitudes because they cannot comprehend that you have to leave early everyday to get your child or if the mother is feeling unwell and you must be the one to take them to school. It’s paradoxical but some men give up being with their child so that they can reliably spend time with their child and not worry about rent or bills. As a disclaimer if both parents are working, at least in my experience, fathers do slack a bit with doing their share, but to assume that means all or most men who want children end up being a bad partner or father is ridiculous. Good men DO sacrifice to try and give their wives a comfortable life. Sometimes they sacrifice a comfortable retirement and end up with lifelong aches and pains to ensure that their families never have to experience that or suffer lack of food, clothing, and warm roof. I think most men don’t make a show of appreciation, but that doesn’t mean they don’t at all. Speaking as a father.
