The fact, once again, is that only women can bear children. Once the children are born, someone must care for them. It's either the mother, the father, or someone else. In many cases, I'm sure the "someone else" option is based upon the "necessity" of two incomes, which is driven by the desire for material goods which is created by advertising.

What is your point with saying only women can bear children? If you're saying in the next sentence that either mom, dad, or other can care for them, what does it matter who handles production?


Because there is obviously nature at play here, thousands of years of DNA, and deeply embedded natural inclinations. I don't see how ignoring that really serves anyone.

Ok, maybe it's because you're not coming out and saying what you think. Do you think women are naturally better caretakers?

If so, why the dancing around it? Just say it.



No. I don't. But I do think they're naturally more inclined to be the caretakers. Man isn't some special creature. He's just a fucking primate. The silverback doesn't take care of the children. Of course, now we're back to putting God into the discussion. Because that's the only way man becomes special. And the only reason to believe his nature is somehow different from that of his closest relatives in the animal kingdom.

Arent their numerous (granted it's a smaller perentage) examples of male animals who do the caretaking?

I mean, have you completely dismissed Marsupial Frogs?


Naturally more inclined seems a lot more likely than naturally better though, Ill say that.


Too far back. We are most closely related to primates. There is a primate in Africa in which the females dominate, but we do not have as close a common ancestor with them as we do with chimps. I forget what they're called.

You're also going to have a hard time using what happens "naturally" when we start to get into other "interactions" between males and females in the wild.

That's called #Favrefanning, and I resent the accusation.

Breast milk cannot be replicated, and studies bear that out. Even if it could, that's 1 of 100 ways in which women are better caregivers. I don't know why it offends you that I think that. It's a compliment to women.

I already have the Trump bumper sticker. I was lying about getting one.

Keep repeating it and eventually people will believe it whether its true or not. Trump 101, there.

But just to keep score, you're now not only saying that women are naturally better, but that there are 100 ways to demonstrably prove that.

I'm not sure about that. I guess it could be true.


You're projecting your own traits onto all men. You seem like a sensitive, thoughtful person. Not all men are, and that can be hard. I have a bond with my daughter that is indescribable. I would murder someone on her behalf at a moment's notice... and I'm glad I'm able to provide that for her. But I don't for a second think I have the skills my wife does in order to care for her. Regardless of whether my wife has worked since my daughter was born, she has always been the primary caretaker. She wants that, and so do I (again, I love my daughter, but I'm just not good at some of the stuff like empathizing and listening and knowing what her needs are). Again, it's a compliment to women. They are very special in that way. If you think about it, they make us look like clumsy buffoons on some levels.


I feel the same way about my family. The role of protector is a role I believe that men in general are supposed to play. There are many things that we may not initially do well but become second nature to us if we want to learn. I think Lady Nas is awesome and provides a lot of balance for my occasional neanderthal tendencies but I don't think she's a better caregiver. I just think there are things both of us are better at.

There is zero doubt my wife is the better caregiver and parent. She is way more patient than I am.

Hell, the dogs get depressed when my wife is gone.

The MasculinUT program does not treat masculinity as a “mental health issue,” and any such statements are simply not accurate. It was established to bring more men to the table to address interpersonal violence, sexual assault and other issues.

I'm the General/Warden. They probably want to stab me some days but recognize that there would probably be chaos without my presence.

I've had a puppy for 2 weeks and the entire house swears the dog is the devil whenever I leave and as soon as he hears the keys go in the door he instantly changes. He apparently tries to bite everyone except the baby.

I'm not applying it to everyone. It is an example of the kind of thinking that makes this kind of stuff still needed.

And, it's a more extreme version of the idea that many on here put forward that when a woman has a child that while she is at work that her job is secondary to her child and therefore she is not as good of a worker as a man who seemingly forgets about his kids as soon as he gets to the office.


I initially missed this. Read the bold part. It illustrates why people are against stuff like this. You just admitted that you don’t see the class as a way to help men deal with their emotions better; instead, you see it as a way to brainwash and bully people into thinking like you. If someone wants to believe that a woman who works is abandoning their children, they have a right to think that no matter how distasteful it might seem to us.

Married with Children is one of my top 5 favorite shows and it couldn't exist today. That kinda makes me sad in the face of progress.

They do but they shouldn't be normalized as if their backwards opinion is justifiable.

I think there’s a difference between “normalizing” it and teaching people not to have certain thoughts. I realize a lot of my thoughts nowadays contradict my previous thoughts from years ago, but I’ve changed my mind on a lot of things. That in itself has taught me that no thought should be completely dismissed or taught as “wrong”. Beliefs I hold now would have been mocked by my former self. We can be 99.99999999% sure that someone is wrong, but we can never be 100% sure, no matter how dumb the idea. And no one should mandate how we think.
