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.

That doesn't make it okay to expect men to do so just because they are men though, you should judge a whole group for the actions of some members of said group.
