"Co-parenting" is a trending practice, where a man and woman agree to have a baby, with no romance or marriage involved. This is next-level exploitation of the male provider instinct. Man gives sperm and money, gets 1/5 of the time with child. No love, no respect. Insane.

Dude if two consenting adults are happy with the arrangement then let them go for it. Human brains are widely varied.

Totally let them go for it. I don't think there's an equilibrium here for anyone but the tiny subset of outliers. All the power to the outliers, insane for most men.

I mean you just assume these men get neither love not respect and, I'm guessing, you're also assuming they only get 1/5th of the time. Maybe that's what they prefer? I assume if this is undesirable for most men then most won't do it. Isn't co-parenting a small movement anyway?

I'm not assuming, I'm referring to the article I cited. One man fell in love, so it ended disastrously in a custody battle. The other guy sees his kid one day each week and every other weekend. I'm not mobilizing to ban it, just saying it seems insane for the men.

I didn't see article you cited? I think I might have read that one earlier. If that is a representative sample then it seems like the women are the primary caregivers. Was this the arrangement they made starting out?
