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 doubt, that the person, who choose the image and wrote the text is actually a medical practitioner involved with childbirth specifically. Most likely the person making the meme actually IS a random person.
And even if it is statistically unlikely, for males to be supportive of their spouses during childbirth. I am not convinced without credible sources. But even if there was a credible statistic, extrapolating that to "All fathers" Is still sexism/misandry.I
For example, black and Hispanic people actually do have a higher chance of criminal activity. That is backed up by statistics of prison population.
Me extrapolating this to "All non white people are criminals" Is still racist.
And me then making a meme with the picture of a shocked looking judge with the text: When the black guy turns out to be innocent.
Doesn't make this more credible. Because I still am not a judge.
