What kind of country do you live in where that's okay? Or even if not okay, common...

Granted I'm no father yet but my girlfriend means too much to me to be able to abandon her if she needs me by her side normally, let alone during childbirth

There are shitty men in all countries, ethnicities, religions, sexualities, etc. Not sure why your initial reflex is to attach this behavior to a certain country, but it’s a very shitty way of looking at the world in any case.

It might surprise you but behaviors tend to have a common and an uncommon attached to them based on factors like the ones you used in every area. That can be a variety of things such as believe and social norms in that place, shocking, I know.

As she said it's "common" from what she heard, I asked what kind of country would have that be common enough to make it worth nothing as such.

If you want to fight about my world view that's one brawl you'll enter alone but saying there's "shitty men everywhere" does not eliminate the fact that society shapes norms and common mindsets for those who live in it. I could've asked what city instead as even within those mindsets are usually shaped by community within it but city might be too personal of an information to disclose.

If your worldview is "Oh, this guy says this/that, what a shitty one" then you likely feel offended by that and that's fine, that's your view, but nobody asked you.

What you’re talking about has a name, it’s called a stereotype.

Then you should know the rest of what you’re doing is called “mental gymnastics”.

I'd actually call it pointing out the existence of nurture but you do you, mate
