Next question
There’s literally no difference between me staying home and raising the kids and my wife working vs my wife staying home raising the kids and me working
@Converted Weeb there is never going to be a good catch-all depiction, but variety will exist, the fact that all varieties are demonized is bad
True
@Deller actually there is
Mothers and fathers do play different roles in raising children, though.
You see mothers are naturally more nurturing and kind than say fathers
Deller the difference is men are better at working while women are better at raising children.
My dad had me flipping tires at 8 while my mom was still tucking me in
with more nuance- there is a greater stimulatory effect on a child from having its mother around early on
Tell that to Zachary Turner
Mothers typically embody the empathy and care model for the child, whereas the father usually is supposed to represent a more ethic and authoritative one.
*Typically*, I want to emphasize.
Thats the thing
and show harshness
My father is a great man and one I want to be
but him taking the mother role would be so
Unorthodox
It would be ridiculous
So, one mother drugs her kid and jumps into the ocean, and suddenly mothers aren't naturally more empathetic and caring towards their children?
Thats called taking an outlier and extrapolating it out of proportion
eeyup.
Pro-choiceers do this a lot with rapes and the like
sexism is inherently supposed to be negative prejudiced, while saying asians are always good at math seems unfair, I dont think saying mothers are more caring to babies is what we want to call sexist
Asians are good at math seems more positive than negative
I mentioned it because it doesnt apply- if it is true its a cultural thing
sexism is based on biology
rather, people want it to be, but it shouldnt be
I never said the mother can’t be more empathetic. It’s almost like naturally assuming all mothers are more empathetic is just as irrational as assuming they’re not. Judge people individually, not as collectives
but we are going by facts
babies dont judge people individually lol
ok so
a lot of that list is "more time"
Females tend to be more geared towards helping the children
Except you’re not going by facts, you’re going by scientific assumptions
any of you chaps play besiege?
@Singleton ayyy
Just because the mother is more likely to be better suited to raise children in any given relationship, doesn’t make it true of every relationship
bottom line is that individual's personalities and motivations vary a LOT more than the average difference between men and women
