I don’t appreciate when people say that, but that’s because I don’t exhibit trash behavior like that. It’s ok to be upset when you’re inappropriately lumped in with shitty people solely based on your genetics.
It’s not just about the men who do this shit stuff. It’s about the others who enable it and fail to challenge it. Can you honestly say you’ve done everything you can to prevent this stuff? I can’t.

Know of at least four husbands/boyfriends to either:
1.) Tell the expectant mother to “hurry up”
2.) Complain he’s the one suffering because he’s been sitting in a chair for hours
3.) Blame the doctor/mother because baby wasn’t sex he had wanted
4.) Get mad they couldn’t smoke a celebratory cigar whilst holding the newborn and/or in the hospital <—- Boomer thing, apparently
So yeah, I do not envy anyone in the OB/GYN field
SOURCE: Worked at a hospital for a few months in what was essentially sanitation. Someone leaked it or spilled it, we cleaned it.
Believe and trust I heard plenty but thankfully never saw anything
