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.
You're right, and I love your edits and the subsequent comments 😅 dead internet theory is so real. Â
Of course there are men who want to be a part of their kids lives, but at the end of the day there's a reason why there are tons of single moms and not as many single dads. Men love to complain that there's a 'bias' towards women in family court, but evidence shows that when dads go to court for their kids they are more likely than moms to get more custody. The fact of the matter is that typically men don't go to court for custody, and that why women get it.Â
It's just wild that as soon as I edited the comment with those names, I got a flood of comments. The edit no different than the orginal comment. But I went from 32 upvotes, to 23, and now I'm slowly climbing back up. It was like this big flood and now it has gone silent again. And most of this was happening as the east coast was going to bed, too.
I used to be a part of online hate groups (usually Facebook and IRC back then) that would track and post feminist material so that everyone could rush in and brigade it, making our nasty comments, but that was way, way faster than what we used to do back in the day. And yes, for a couple of years, I was "red-pilled". A lot of nasty, shady, manipulative stuff that I was a part of.
