Im of course referring to the tendency of middle eastern men in particular to refuse to change diapers of small children at all or to take paternity leave even back when that peternity leave is lost if not used by the father.

To clarify, those men are specifically first-generation or second-generation immigrants who buy into a hypermasculine traditionalist culture. You'd see the same behaviour from an American evangelical, or a Chinese Confucianist. Be careful not to miss the forest for the trees.

Of course there are reasons that Mideastern immigrants are not dads who go sharesies on child rearing; of course it has to do with culture; of course there are other cultures that are this way. You added nothing to the post.
