As a dad myself, dudes who willingly deny themselves being in the presence of the miracle of childbirth let alone being there for the entirety of what comes after baffles me.
Same, the birth of my daughter was the greatest day of my life, being able to witness it was truly marvelous, i was warned that it might be gross but it was nothing short of beautiful, the fact that men shy away from it stuns me, its literally the miracle of life
The baby itself is a miracle, but let's not lie now and say the birthing process is. Not even 100 years ago, it was common to risk dying to birth a baby.
It's odd to say this, but at a time when getting a sliver was a greater cause of death, a roughly 1.2% mortality in the 1500s is really not bad, and almost all of that is linked to hygiene practices.
It Is 50x less likely now, but that's still just because people wash their hands now.
