I noted the article unquestioningly accepted the stereotype that men have less interest in spending time with their children than women.
It strikes me that questioning this assumption would be a very good thing for improving the situation of women in the workplace.

Real advice is from your grandmother: make ye bed and lay in it. If a person wants children, that's a conscious choice with happiness, sacrifice and burdens garuanteed. There is no fairy dust, wanna-have-it-all solution. I feel like people of all cultures and ages understood this and it's our generation that's perplexed at everything like chimps let loose in a city.

And, on the whole, I’d guess women more so than men. This is a straight-up sexist assumption about the intrinsic interests of fathers in parenting.
