Which is a great backup, but they tend to be physically, psychologically and emotionally less suited to it. Most men are less motherly than most women. We are not blank slates.
- FridayoLeary 11mo agoI think we are coming close to some of the issues causing the current fertility crisis.
- graemep 11mo agoEvidence? Men are less "motherly" because we are discouraged by society from being that. Even your choice of words shows your prejudice. I was my kids primary parent when married and a single dad after divorce. I am MUCH better suited to raising kids than my ex-wife was. That is largely a result of how I was raised to have empathy and care about people.

- sceptic123 11mo agoTo try to remove the word motherly there, your comment could be written as: Most men are worse parents than most women. Do you think that is a good representation of what you are saying? Do you think it's true? Are men inherently worse at parenting, or is there something else at play? And I would also like to know what your evidence is for that.
