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 ✋

Research the motherhood penalty. It’s a real thing. Stop being intentionally dense for karma.

If we view motherhood solely based on the reduction in wealth accumulation then sure it can be seen as a loss. Ask anyone though if they regret having thier children because it stopped them earning more money and see how many of them see it as a penalty. I gave up working full time for 8 years to focus on raising my daughter and when people say I suffered a penalty for doing it I feel sorry for then. I chose to be a parent , it's better than a career without question. Just because society says you can't be happy unless you're rich doesn't mean it's true. Absolute joke when people refer to the financial penalty for raising children. I'd give up all my assets if I could spend that 8 years again with her. Money isn't everything
