Two main points here;

Male sacrifice requires appreciation. "In terms of reciprocity, the Zeus Instinct—symbolic of the act of providing and protecting—requires acknowledgment and appreciation."
How adult men are deprived of touch, and how important that missing human touch is. "Recalling the scene, I envisioned possibly being in a female barber's chair, engaged in casual chatter about her day while noticing a distinct pause, interrupted by the novel sensation of her gentle touch upon my scalp.
This touch, which was nothing more than a #2 clipper setting, evoked an uncanny blend of unfamiliarity and solace that lingered momentarily.
The peculiarity of the incident struck a chord within me. It had been a considerable span since someone ran their fingers through my hair, massaged my scalp, and how much we may overlook the sense of well-being and comfort this brings."

Two great points about two things men get very little of these days. It's males who are deprived these days. Wanna changes things, you have to vote the right way.

The human pair bond is asymmetrical. With our much higher sex drive, it's males who have to spend money on courtship displays and offering resources. When marriage was the only socially-acceptable way to have sex, women only gave something back after marriage, the most tangible evidence of which was a child. And her emotional bond is to the child. Unlike fathers, she can always be sure that the child is hers. All she requires, now, is a provider. They can't hide how their minds work, even in their risible medical 'ethics'. https://jme.bmj.com/content/medethics/33/8/475.full.pdf

By contrast to their advice to men, that they should be 'grateful' for the opportunity to raise the child of another man, women have zero interest in raising a child that is not their own. The 'wicked stepmother' became a meme for good reason.
