TOOO HAIRY!! Pteh! Pteh!!

There is seriously no point, but it’s interesting.

Childbearing may be “women’s work” but there should be something inherently manly about bravely facing a stinky diaper to help the wife out, no? Or finding positive ways to bond with you child, no? Perhaps animatedly reading the sports section to your child sounds like it could be fun?

Part of the battle between the sexes is that women do not realize that men are not hairy misbehaving females. But then the converse is true for men, we are not men who wear makeup and shave our legs.

I agree with Sestamibi. Some Islam would be good for Scandinavia. Perhaps it will help them regain their manhood. Instead of being a threat to Europe, perhaps Islamic immigration will actually be that continent’s salvation.

A couple weeks ago Roissy asked this question, and I replied:

Roissy said:

“btw, sweden is slowly islamicizing because swedish chicks prefer banging it out with
the manlier (read: more dominant) immigrants. is this a good thing for Swedish civilization in the long run? if so, explain your reasoning.”

I replied:

The answer is Yes, because it will inject a dose of much-needed maculinity into the Swedish gene pool. The basic problem in Sweden is that Swedish men are herbs. Their other problems flow from that primary cause.

The solution is for Swedish women to breed with the most masculine men available, which in this case are immigrants. As a result of this interbreeding, the mixed-race future generations of Swedes will be more manly and less herbly than they would be if they were pure Swedish, and that will be good.

The losers, of course, are the herbs whose genes will not be passed on, but that is how evolution works. Those who are less fit are weeded out. Think of the modern passive beta male as an evolutionary dead end, an experiment that failed. The future will march on without them.

Oh yeah, and the other point is, not only does the baby want and need the father’s attention from day one, but if you are a normal man – and not a total narcissist or psychopath – then you actually WANT to give your child attention from day one (rather than holding off until age 4 for some absurd reason). Believe it or not, it is enjoyable to wash, dress, change, and feed your baby! Why would you even want to have a kid if you plan to treat the kid with total indifference prior to the age of 4? (Just FYI, that’s pretty much what my dad did to me, and I hate the SOB. I haven’t talked to him for over 20 years, and I never will. So, if you want your kids to despise you, go ahead and leave all that “women’s work” to your wife.)

Doug – sorry, totally wrong. I can tell you from personal experience that the father makes a difference RIGHT AWAY, and it is crucial for the father to spend quality time with them (i.e. interact with them and develop a relationship with them) LONG before the age of 4. A child can recognize its father pretty much from birth, and most definitely wants to interact with you even if he or she can’t tell you so in so many words. My son indicated that he “wanted daddy” long before he could walk (9 months) and talk (~1), e.g. he would indicate that he wanted to be picked up, and would yell with dismay if I gave him to mom or tried to leave the room.

Now I know what roissy was saying when he wrote that rant about dudes wearing frontal paposses. Never in my life will I allow myself to be emasculated that way. Never.

isn’t it true that a woman’s nipples are far less sensitive than that of a man’s, in order to accommodate nursing? Is the author of this “idea” even aware of this fact? Or does he assume that female nipples are just as sensitive as male nipples, and thus men should share in her pain and irritation? Sorta like an “empathy belly”. Just reading between the lines here…

Anyone want to take a bet that it will be illegal to pee standing up in Sweden in less than two years?

Anyone?

Its just wrong.

What is that saying

If you can only find one website that promotes something it is just wrong.

I hope there is only one article on this.

“Men often have trouble finding things. And if the mother is out, the child is screaming and they can’t find the pacifier I’m sure there are a lot of men who give their baby their breasts.”

So said the Swedish professor.

Bizarre.

I couldn’t resist stopping by to read this post after seeing the title on EW’s sidebar. As I read this, a rather creepy article my husband & I came across while expecting our daughter three years ago popped into my head: http://www.unassistedchildbirth.com/miscarticles/milkmen.html

Apparently men shouldn’t only offer their breast but make milk as well. I shook my head then and I shake my head now. Why not value men as, you know, fathers and not whatever you want to call what these articles are promoting?
