Yep

The Nurses who do births in my country have been quite positive about millenial fathers and in particular the ethnically Swedish millenial fathers.

Same thing in the local parks where i live its about 50/50 and during some periods majority fathers with their kids in the park.

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.

Weird to only change diapers on larger (/older) children, but it wouldn't be the weirdest hill to due on for performative masculinity that I've heard of.

I was gonna write /s but the more I think about it the less I'm sure. But I'm defaulting to assuming the previous comment meant they refuse changing diapers at all, and just small children need them.

Maybe there's a point in a child's development where that dookie gets metal enough to be safe to handle without halving your testosterone count and dropping a couple Greek letters down the manoscope alphabet.
