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?

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

The thing being it feels like we're already kind of giving way on that, like we still think it's mandatory for the husband to be present at birth but we've got the whole "doula" thing now because of the perception husbands have done a lousy job of supporting pregnant women

It is quite something. Although even in the older version, men were nearby, if not in the room where it happens.
