as someone who's sister just delivered a baby, I can tell you that the nurses and doctors there said that most men sit in the corner (if they even come at all) and act annoyed. most of the time, they don't seem interested in becoming a father. it's very sad to see.

So...it's not universally true because it happens at one hospital.

I never said that every single man is a deadbeat, but it's not uncommon at all.

You're the one making the claim that it's common. Sounds like it's entirely anecdotal.

You're basically saying "men do this" and when asked how you know you go "I just know" and somehow that's not sexist?
