More like it's uncommon to see in her work . If it were a random saying it then I'd say it's sexism but it's a whole medical practitioner who has probably seen countless births so if she is surprised it's because it isn't something they see all the time not because she's taking a jab at men or whatever.
I don't think it can just be labeled as sexism though because they haven't given a reason or trait that makes men not be there for their partners. Some are in the room but keep their distance, some are right next to their partner, some don't even make it into the room .
If it was based on anecdotal evidence from a medical practitioner who sees it every day, then yes the catsuit crazy logic would still work.
If an oncologist told me that by her observation most wives leave their husbands after a cancer diagnosis, I would find that information distressing but I would probably believe them seeing as this is their own experience as somebody who sees it every day
