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

This. Everyone sees themselves as the standard, the "normal". Even if they are far, far away from "normal".

It’s incredibly normal if you ask L&D nurses. It’s not an issue of someone seeing themselves as the standard. It’s an issue of men being defensive of shitty men because they think it reflects poorly on themselves. Which should tell you something.

In which country do you live? I know a few L&D nurses here and they do not agree with that statement.
