[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women do periods, pregnancies, labor, breastfeeding, birth control, menopause. If they are also earning her money, least a man can do in addition to earning his money is to be an equal partner in parenting and household.

If he can't then he needs to increase his earning potential to provide hired help. [/quote]

Not all women give birth. [/quote]

Yes, but 90% of women do. We are not here to discuss outliers. [/quote]

A) 10% isn’t an outlier 
B) discussing how we treat moms who don’t give birth identically to moms who do give birth illustrate that the treatment isn’t actually about birth giving. It’s about attitudes towards motherhood.[/quote]

Well, it is a very small minority. We are talking about general human behavior. [/quote]

Actually this all came up with the demand that someone name literally any society in human history where men are primary or equal caregivers. There have been numerous societies across time and geography where that is the case. And the prevalence of such societies indicates that such behavior is not “contrary to human nature,” which was the argument raised.

If you want me to say that societies where women are primary parents are more common, you won’t hear me challenging that. [/quote]
