Yep

The Nurses who do births in my country have been quite positive about millenial fathers and in particular the ethnically Swedish millenial fathers.

Same thing in the local parks where i live its about 50/50 and during some periods majority fathers with their kids in the park.

“Ethnically Swedish” 💀

Im of course referring to the tendency of middle eastern men in particular to refuse to change diapers of small children at all or to take paternity leave even back when that peternity leave is lost if not used by the father.

To clarify, those men are specifically first-generation or second-generation immigrants who buy into a hypermasculine traditionalist culture. You'd see the same behaviour from an American evangelical, or a Chinese Confucianist. Be careful not to miss the forest for the trees.

They aren't; they're clarifying reality.

Lmfao such bigotry of low expectations. As if “well it’s their culture” would ever be an expectable excuse for the same behavior from an American evangelical.

u/Stratafyre Apr 24 '26

You appear to be confusing a reason with an excuse. Explaining why something happens doesn't excuse why it happened.

I don't know what you're pretending such absurd "whataboutism" in that post was, if not an excuse.

u/FoolishPippin Apr 24 '26

Because it explains the reason of the behavior, they did not say the explanation justifies the behavior or makes it okay in anyway.

Why would the swedish nurses have anything to say about American Evangelists and Chinese Confucianists

u/Adventurous_Money533 Apr 24 '26

To be fair we dont have alot of evangelical american Christians or Chinese confucianists in Sweden, so il not sure why someone from sweden would ever compare themselves to them as opposed to comparing themselves to middle eastern men, which makes up a large percentage of our actual population

Of course there are reasons that Mideastern immigrants are not dads who go sharesies on child rearing; of course it has to do with culture; of course there are other cultures that are this way. You added nothing to the post.
