Utter misandry from NPR.

I look after a baby, it's not at all mysterious or challenging, just boring. Any woman who complains about it is kidding herself.

It gets worse btw; listen to the audio version. Not only does the author drone on but NPR chimes in to complain about how men don't know how to buy milk and never worry. What a load of nonsense.

The author all but comes out and says women care and men don't, and it seems her argument is it's because women worry, and men don't.

How can someone argue an entire gender simply does not have concerns? Aren't guidos proof that men freak out about stuff?

I think, frankly, men are more likely to lie awake nights worrying about stuff because they have fewer outlets to talk about it or work it out.

What responsible man hasn't spent sleepless nights in worry?
I wish my worries revolved around "Am I taking care of my child correctly?" The reason being that if I come to saying no, I can fix that pretty quickly and easily.
Now my worries about whether I have enough money to pay all my bills this month, or should I trim out some of my grocery budget. That's a little bit harder to deal with.
Also when my wife worries, I tell her to relax and not fret so much. Why? Because usually it falls on me to handle it for one, and also it's practically an obligation to try to have a voice of reason when your partner is concerned. My wife has done it for me as well.

I heard this story on the radio this morning, it pissed me off so much. Sounds like my mom talking about how useless her boyfriends are, stupid man hate.

Especially the part about how only women worry, and only women care about children's nourishment and work/home balance... Wow

i get called sexist a lot because i want a traditional, biblical family. with the man at the head of the household. that doesnt mean i wont love my wife, i just think men and women have different roles in the family.

i just had to rant. im tired of feeling like a bigot just because i respect God and want to do things in an old fashioned way. i am not a bad person. i do not hate women. i simply think families worked better the way they used to be.
