I read it as describing the situation being weird. The people being normal is what makes the whole thing weird

  I guess the older I get, the more unclear I am on what normal is supposed to be or what it ever was. What percentage of men historically even had children? My impression is that it has always been significantly less than the percentage of women who do.

      That sounds wild. Got a reference?

        Think about the language from a technical perspective. EDIT: On second thought, presumably you did and you are also adding humor!

    Historically as in recent history or more distant? In more distant history, yes most women had children and many men did not. In recent history (in the west), I believe the ratio was much more equal due to culturally enforced monogamy. Obviously it was never 100% followed but I believe it made a very large impact on this metric.
