Womanly things that men do these days, apparently.

Postby Glorious Freedonia » Wed Oct 23, 2024 8:29 am

Apparently, many men are doing things these days that their fathers never would have done.

Men have started going to Baby Showers! What?

Men even are there in the delivery room when their kids are born!

Do any of you men of NS do these sort of things? I never would even consider doing anything like that. Are there any other things that men are doing today that goes against the male traditions?

This is a societal thing I am sure. It is likely that in other cultures this stuff was always the norm but here in the USA, this stuff was unheard of. So for those of you who are not Americans, have gender norms changed dramatically in your cultures lately?

Good for them, gender norms should be abolished.

I'm a father, and I saw my son's birth. That's what all good fathers do.

I would be embarrassed to be married to any inconsiderate man who saw supporting me in the delivery room as something gendered and inconceivable.

Like, what's wrong with being in the delivery room as a dad? Or being able to cook up a kick-ass meal for your spouse? Or goodness forbid that you shed a tear or weep in your worst of times.

Gender roles (and by extension, stereotypes) are still a load of baloney to me.

EDIT: I do NOT expect my future spouse, if any, to be simply just be cooking up and doing the house work. She is not going to be my maid, she will be the close and best person that will take on the world together with me, and that means doing everything together whenever we can. ♥

This thread, aka chat about their own and the other sex, instead of doing work. Usually, this was privileged only to royal households. Most other people were either ploughing the fields, doing any work in the household economics, or doing work which generated finances for the household economics.
Ironically enough.

Lolwut? My dad is one of the biggest chuds who ever lived yet he was present in the delivery room for both of my sisters+my 2 brothers.
Never heard of being in the delivery room as being considered against the male gender norm. In fact, I think quite the opposite is true.

You haven't actually...talked to a woman about this? Guess we know where this take came from :roll:

In all seriousness, have you considered that maybe women are individual people, with preferences that vary from person to person, and this is an intimate conversation women have individually with their partners based on those preferences? No? How unsurprising.

okay but like who cares

Whether or not the man is in the delivery room is up to the couple

I wouldn't consider it womanly either

and weather a man acts "womanly" is up to himself

its just common sense, especially in this modern world

being a man is about minding your own damn business
