More like it's uncommon to see in her work . If it were a random saying it then I'd say it's sexism but it's a whole medical practitioner who has probably seen countless births so if she is surprised it's because it isn't something they see all the time not because she's taking a jab at men or whatever.

I don't think it can just be labeled as sexism though because they haven't given a reason or trait that makes men not be there for their partners. Some are in the room but keep their distance, some are right next to their partner, some don't even make it into the room .

I work in tech, and 98% of engineers are men, it also astounds me when I see female software engineer. Only because it is specialist saying doesnt make it not sexist.

Seee . So does it astound you because they're women and you think they're incapable or because it's just not something you see often ? That's the difference I'm trying to explain here

Is me as an programming tech lead expert telling that women cannot do programming as i'm astounded when any of them will make any good work is sexist? This is just my experience. I'm an expert.

Well your statement is different as you are saying that women are incapable of doing it . Very huge difference from what the person I replied to said btw

They are rarely doing it well to my experience. So i can tell they are bad programmers. Right? I can generalise same as this nurse.
