An explanation is atonal and objective, the comment said “Having children is just another bucket list item these days.” which pretty obviously implies they don’t think well of the situation.
There is some blaming here, and not just on “cultural shifts” and “expectations”, but also “women’s empowerment”.
And it’s not like the things they mention are things men weren’t doing before that are allowed by modernity. Men travelled all the time (ex: war), while women were expected to stay home. Men’s virginity wasn’t prized, it was to women that having accepted premarital sex was new. Women being able to prioritize their careers was new.
As the bigotry goes on HN this comment is pretty tame, but civility doesn’t excuse ignorance, in fact it makes it more dangerous.
