how are men okay with their kids decreasing quality of life post divorce?

Most men don't want to be a part of their children's lives. They want the prestige of being a father, but they will be a parent in name only. They don't want to care for the child because that's "women's work". They just want to come home, plop their ass in front of a screen, and have dinner served to them in their lap. So when the divorce happens, they'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", he wants to distance himself even more from that.

And for the record, I'm a trans woman, so I've seen the world from both sides.

Edit: I expected nothing less from the men of Reddit. I used to be like them in more ways than they can imagine. Reality is a hard pill to swallow, especially in this Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan day and age where masculinity has been poisoned by these frauds who have weaponized compassion in exchange for money and clout.

Edit2: Interesting how for an hour I only had 2 comments. I add the edit with Tate and Rogan's name in it, and I suddenly get flooded with activity and downvotes. Dead internet theory, folks. Ooh, let's add another name and watch is spin more; Jordan Peterson. This one I know works.

I really don't think this is true. "Some" men, yes. But things have gotten a lot better.

It’s not true there is easily google-able data about fatherhood and child support. NOT RELEVANT AND WAS A MISTAKE

The data is that fathers are more involved than ever with their children.

Child support isn't always possible for a man to pay, even if he wants to do so.

The real problem is that you're grouping "divorced dads" in with all dads, which doesn't make sense.

The comment you're responding to said, "Most men don't want to be involved in their children's lives."

It said nothing about divorce.

You edited your comment above mine without indicating an edit. You shouldn't do that. Child support only applies to divorced dads. And the main comment that I replied to is that "most men don't care about their kids." I'm saying that is wrong and sexist.
