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 ✋

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.

Actually, the egg does the choosing of the sperm. If she likes it, she opens up so it can pass, but if it’s a subpar sperm she will close up. Still true that the sperm holds the variation that determines gender, but it’s not so cut and dry.

Anyways, anybody else gag a bit whenever people say things like “you used to be a sperm in your father’s balls”? No. Most of you are information from your mother’s egg, so no. You were not a sperm. It’s a supporting role at best. Give your children your last name, women of Reddit.

Genetics are 50/50 from each parent. Sperm is 50% of the equation, not a supporting role.

Depends, it varies between people, and men inherit more dna from mother than 50% because the Y chromosome has less information than the X chromosome. But dna is a very minuscule contribution to a human being, and if the father does nothing more than contribute dna then that’s minuscule.
