wild that you call it sexism, but ask anyone who works in L&D, and they will tell you it's reoccurring enough to be more than a recognizable pattern. it's not sexism if you are literally just observing the consistent behavior or multiple fathers being avoidant or not present&mentioning it. 🤷‍♀️

There are literally L&D folks in the comment section saying they have never seen a disinterested father during delivery.

Also your comment "it's not sexist if it's something you've observed consistently" is wild.
