One myth that we have to break is the myth that women care about children. In reality, it is only the father who puts the children ahead of himself. Not the mother. To women, children are just social status props.
Evidence of this is everywhere (including from the fact that the few countries where the man can divorce easily without cost still have very low divorce rates, and almost no ‘single mothers’).

Sorry, but OP's claims of it being a myth is false. Women in general love and care about their children. What I feel is the OP is taking the exception and making it the rule.

No kidding. They take every excuse they can to delegate child-rearing and any domestic tasks but constantly insult the women they leave these tasks to calling them lazy, mentally deficient, predatory, monsters. Now they claim they're the only ones invested in the kids when their involvement is purely dictatorial? Fuck this asshole. And I say that as someone who actually experienced neglect and abuse. And easy divorce without cost? That's no-fault divorce, which they bitch about endlessly and blame for high divorce rates. Or do they mean only men get to file for divorce in which case the man usually has an image to maintain discouraging him from permitting a divorce? Fucking two-faced sacks of shit.
Do YOU care about children, at all, Anon? Or would you be in complete chaos if someone left their newborn children in your care?
Yeah, of course, that's why fathers stay at home with their kids for three or four years, right?
If countries, where divorce is easy, and have low divorce rates, that means men AND women stay together to care for their children, and nothing else, right?
I have a colleague who has a wife who's a manager. He's always been taking the majority of the VAB's (Care of Sick Children, in Swedish) as his wife is less expendable. We, however, NEED him, and have to tell him every once in a while that it's his WIFE's turn to stay at home with a sick child. Will your patriarchal head explode soon, now..., or what?
Yeah! All women do is spend nine months growing tiny people inside of themselves, followed by several months of feeding these tiny people with their bodies after a traumatic separation, all at significant cost to themselves. That's it! Who would get the ridiculous idea that this would translate into a desire to take care of and nurture that investment? /s
Fucking imbecile.
There are father who love their children, and ones who don't. There are mothers who love their children, and ones who don't. It's almost like people can choose their own aspirations in life, which may or may not agree with broadly-held social norms. Or something.
the few countries where the man can divorce easily without cost
In this country, two responsible adults who can avoid fighting can show up at the county building and be divorced in a few hours. It's only when people get unreasonable about their property and/or children - and they can be supremely unreasonable - that it drags out into a multi-month affair.
Funny that it was my mom and her parents that cared for me rather than the much older prick that had sex (details are fuzzy and I'll leave it at that) with her and then ran off when he realized he got a 15 YEAR OLD GIRL pregnant.
Cuz that sack of waste and semen cared for me than her, duh. *toddles off to puke*
DEEP SPACE NINE! That's where I heard Dalrock before!
...oh, and the OP is a fucking moron. I was just happy because that name has been bugging me for a while now
Well nobody told my parents
My mum; someone who could not get a job because she had two disabled kids to look after and who would literally starve herself when there wasn't enough food to go around so that me and my brother could eat.
My dad; the reason my mum had to starve herself in the first place. He couldn't keep away from the bookies or the football pools.
Best thing my mum did- divorce his ass so that she wouldn't have to panic about food and bills, or scream at him for money because we needed food or a bill had come.
This is just stupid, demonstrably. What do divorce rates have to do with childcare (except that maintenance enforcement needed a whole new raft of powers about 15 years back to catch primarily deadbeat dads )?
This is just more of that, "Women are, despite having given birth to every man alive, not human and don't care about their kids. How did I come to that idiotic conclusion? Women won't fuck ME so there's something wrong with all of them " bullshit. He's probably upset that while his mom would let him breastfeed as a child, she won't bust one out for a pity's sake right now.
Gee, that's funny...I care about all of my kids. Perhaps too much, as I'm sure the 28 year-old will attest.
Momma loves her babies. Been both a single and married mom, loved them and cared for their needs regardless of what said needs were, and still do.
Who takes care of your children, Anon? Do you even have any experience to draw on here or are you just assholing it up?
Guess which tile I'm putting my money on?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
