Based on her experience of men in the L&D room. Doctors and nurses have documented the behavior of “partners” when the woman is giving birth.

exactly. i could sit here and say "men aren't present in the delivery room" and it would be pure speculation and bias because i don't work in L&D. when multiple medical professionals say this behavior from fathers is common to see, that is based off actual experiences they've had. the dudes getting all up in arms about how it's sexism is just confusing to me. she's not saying they're unpresent BECAUSE they're men/fathers.
