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?

too much empathy imo

Thats called taking an outlier and extrapolating it out of proportion

@JadenFrostwolf

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

a woman engineer that is dedicated and smart is more valuable to society than them spending most of their time taking care of children

best steam engine maker in the community

true and no one has ever said that a mother that feels like she doesnt want to have kids should have kids

the point was that a good mom is more stimulating for a young child than a good dad, on average
