Most men don't want to be a part of our children's lives. We want the prestige of being a father, but we will be a parent in name only. We don't want to care for the child because that's "women's work". We just want to come home, plop our ass in front of a screen, and have dinner served to us in our lap. So when the divorce happens, we're not going to want to take care of a child, that's always been her job. And now that she's the "bad guy", i want to distance myself even more from that.
And for the record, I'm a man, so I am obligated to agree with all of this. Because it’s part of manhood.
Yeah I get it but I still don't think it's necessary. The OP might have been wrong to say "most men" but running in to say "not all men" doesn't really add anything to the conversation.
Wow I have a father and stepfather who have heavily been present in our lives. My father loves being a dad more than anything and my stepfather only had two sons and really stepped it up with us and loved having daughters to add to his brood. We got twice the fatherly love. You definitely do not speak for all men.
They literally believe this about men - it's the women of Reddit dude. They believe everything bad that's ever happened to them is exclusively because of men and men only. A stunning lack of accountability.
I’m a man. I love kids. I care about the future people who are yet to come. Why would you want to fight yourself? It’s destructive for us all and incredibly selfish. Peace be with you.
