[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When most of them are crappy fathers anyway. Same with women.[/quote]
They're not desperate to be dads. They're desperate for the social benefits (i.e., taken more seriously at work) of attaining the status of dad. They're also competitive with other men, with kids being just another collectible like cars or watches. That's why they always find a woman to foist all the responsibility on while they mentally check out and chase the next item on their never ending bucket list.[/quote]

I 100% agree on this!  And it's same with a woman now that you mention it. If a woman says she doesn't have kids, she's taken less seriously at work by male coworkers and woman who already have kids and even single moms. It's like everyone at work has less respect for childless women. And it's the most unfair thing ever.[/quote]
I don't know where you live and work, but it isn't America or you're not very successful. Women don't get a career boost from having kids. If anything, countless studies and any real life career woman's experiences will tell you that every aspect of workplace child bearing is stigmatized for women. Everyone resents the woman who has to go on maternity leave. When she comes back, they start shunting her into lesser roles with decreased visibility. She's first on the chopping block for a pay cut or firing. People assume she can afford to lose her job because she really should be home with the kids and her husband can pay the bills. There's a reason the term "mommy track" was invented.

Literally only men get a career and financial boost from marriage and fatherhood. Having children is consequence free for men and laden with perks, as much as they whine about having to even financial support their kids.[/quote]
