Expecting the guy to simply back down and take care of the child even if he is bad at it or just desires work more is just as bad as expecting that of the woman right?

Or is their a double standard here?

Each person should see who has the stronger willpower and let nature take its course. Or make a practical decision based on a balance of both sides, but just stop too often blaming guys over the issues.

Everybody should take responsibility fo their actions.

I am fine with any number of women being in science.

I am for helping them get back into their jobs after their time off.

I am fine if a man wants to be the one taking care of the child.

I am not for people denying nature and blaming so much on men.

Its not our fault women birth the babies.

its not our fault women tend to be more attacked to them then men.

Why not, when women have the child, she says no matter what shes going to work, and see if the guy backs down.

Men who arent working are lazy.

We are evolved to work. If women want more men to take care of kids, then effect evolution to allow men to birth babies.

if women in science fields dont want to be affected by kids, then dont have them

Honestly, men that arent kept busy with work become terrible leeches

This is an average of course, not 100% or even 90% of men, but more than half

We simply arent born with the same genetics as women, and tend to be worse with kids outside of short stints per day

If more women were willing to work jobs to provide income while their husbands get to stay home with the kids, then there wouldn't be so many men in professional fields. The true Progressive will challenge women to allow men to be caretakers of children. But lets be honest, women are stuck in regressive stereotypes that see men who aren't working as lazy.
