Based on an AITA post I just saw, help me out a second, as an intersex woman who will never conceive. Is there an idea taken as axiomatic that a person who willfully remains absent from the occasion of their partner giving birth is committing an unspeakable moral dereliction?

But anyway yeah from a historical standpoint it's interesting It was considered a major advance of second-wave feminism to establish that childbirth wasn't a "woman thing" and the husband was not only capable of being but obligated to be the mom's primary support at the time

It's something I've been thinking about watching T*RFs bang on about "sex-based rights" and "woman-only spaces", that if they won they'd almost certainly reverse this feminist gain and send us back to midwifery being a women-only profession and men not being allowed in the ward
