This is just a sign that male journalists are self-censoring when taking interviews, not that they are not interested. We do the same with job interviews, it is obvious when doing panel interviews and some interviewers are men and some are women: the women can ask anything they want, while for men it is considered inappropriate to ask some questions.

Then there are emotional issues, the special bond between the mother and her infants, which can lead to life-long emotional disability issues, if not handled properly. See e.g. https://positivepsychology.com/attachment-theory https://positivepsychology.com/attachment-theory "This provided a clear indication that emotional attachment in infancy, gained through cuddling, affected the monkey’s later responses to stress and emotion regulation (Herman, 2012)." Sadly, we run our society by Powerpoint, obsessively focusing on a handful of poorly measured metrics. We have trained entire generations to reflexively point out any differences in those metrics as "bias", with a very negative connotation. Edit: Consider using a less charged word, e.g. "difference". It is only human to give women space to be women.
- solar-ice 4y agoIn the context of the thread you're in, are you trying to argue that men have no emotional attachment to family or childhood, or that they have no impact on the people around them?
- boppo1 4y agoI think he means, in general, that biological men cannot equivalently fill the role in an infant/child's life that biological women can.
