Notes -
As a parent, I don't get it. At all. It's not, in fact, tedious to raise children--or if it is to you, that's all right, but it isn't to everyone, and certainly isn't to me. There are really no people I'd rather be around than my own sons. Men who can just walk away from their kids, to me, aren't real men. They're something like man-boys, and I don't have any particular respect for them.
Call it a personal preference. Young parents look an act like zombies. All of feminism represents people who did not like it. But some find it fulfilling, for sure. And if they can use their hobby to give more humans the gift of life, so much the better.
I‘m not sure what I‘m supposed to do with a claim of unmanlyness. If I call a man unmanly, for being a coward, for example, I‘m referring to a shared understanding of what a man should be ; accusing him, in effect, of failing to act according to his own ideals. You and I share no such understanding on the topic of parenting.
Note I didn't intend to call you unmanly. I'm talking about dads who don't dad, who don't give a rat's ass about their own children.
