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 .

Yeah, it’s like calling women drama queens. Since men agree most women are drama queens, calling them drama queens is not sexist.

Except of course it’s sexist.

Both of the above is sexist.

Most men stay with their wife / girlfriend when she’s giving birth and show her support. Don’t know a single father who hasn’t unless he didn’t make it in time. Those who can’t make it regret it their entire lives.

Now stop defending sexism. It’s not a good look.

Why is your anecdotal knowledge of the handful of fathers you know and how they behaved in the delivery room more valid or accurate than the repeated daily observations of someone who works in labor and delivery on a daily basis, seeing multiple patients a day, presumably for years?

You mean the nurse that most likely doesn’t even exist? The one this meme made up for another gender war slop meme? Is that the person who’s worked in labor and delivery for years you are referring to?

Lmao what - you don’t just make up entire backstories for unknown random people in memes with text on top of them???

Are you being deadass? Thats exactly what they do. Everyday i see a "headline" thats just a meme with an AI pic/video and an entirely madeup scenario attached. To take it a step further I'm finding entire accounts meant to make "content" featuring a person that is entirely AI.

In this the case the screenshot is deliberately taken out of context and the "nurse thats seen a bunch of dads be unsupportive" is a fabrication because thats not what this woman was saying at all.
