Nah it's not. I can see how someone would want to normalise such a shitty event to deal with it but the fathers I know and myself have been much much more involved and supportive than our fathers were

I mean people who work in L&D can tell you how common shitty fathers are…it’s not just anecdotal

That's the definition of anecdotal.

Sure, but it’s a lot different when people who work in that field are telling you these things vs an individual saying “well I was a good husband and so were my friends”.

It’s the same way statistically men are a lot more likely to leave their partner when dealing with major medical issues, like cancer. You could still say “well I would never leave mine*, but that doesn’t mean that doesn’t happen to so many other people

You being a good husband doesn’t discredit all of the women who have dealt with shitty partners during childbirth

And none of what's you said refutes the definition of anecdotal.
