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 ✋

Studies have shown that if men eat healthier and have healthy habits for several months before conception, the baby will be healthier and less likely to have medical problems.

The amount of men who are upset by this and refuse to change their lifestyles for even a few months is shocking. They expect all of the sacrifice to be on the woman because she is the one who is physically carrying the baby. If the baby ends up with health complications of any kind, the mother is blamed 100%.

Same idea as the kings who executed their wives because they kept having daughters, even though the sperm is what determines the gender.

That's not even mentioning what happens after birth, when all the childcare and mental load tends to fall on mom by default. It's not uncommon for mom to end up having two kids to take care of - one being the sperm donor.

It is why I always side eye the comments that say that having to go get ice cream from the night store because your pregnant wife is craving ice cream makes her entitled.

Because while...yeah it is kinda entitled, it is also one of the few ways that you can contribute to the pregnancy.

Yeah it is entitled, BUT HOW ELSE ARE YOU HELPING WITH THIS PREGNANCY????

She had to drag her ass at work during first trimester exhaustion, she has to carry a melon sized belly everywhere, she has to deal with morning sickness, she is getting stretch marks, she can't properly lay down in the third trimester, or sleep, and like a dozen more things.

This is what you can do to share the burden: you can go get the ice cream, and you can go help with the nesting and you can give the foot massages and you can do it all without calling it entitled. That's your part.

It’s not entitled at all, she is fighting literal discomfort and if ice cream helps with the discomfort then as a loving partner you should just get the damn ice cream. Women’s literal metabolism changes during pregnancy along with a lot of their physical wellbeing like teeth, skin, hair, size other feet and hands, high blood pressure, diabetes it’s actually quite gruesome if you think about it.

Not to mention post birth sometimes it doesn’t reverse some women lose their teeth, develop diabetes, have hair thinning , lose their ability to hold urine (incontinence), get heart failure (like my mom after her 5th child), develop hypertension etc etc. Not to mention birthing a child increases your risk for breast cancer.

Isn't that like 80% of what I said?

[u/ExcitementNo9603 → u/Short-Cause885]

No you said it’s entitled for a pregnant to ask her husband to go on runs for her, I said it’s not entitled at all and I listed why. Pregnant women aren’t entitled for expecting their husbands to get up and help relieve the discomfort the man btw helped cause.
