A lot of the things you are saying are very easy to say from the postition of being a man in a patriarchal society.

ETA: Also, sorry, but no matter how many children you and your wife have, you will never know what it is like to carry a baby or labor with and deliver one. I am not dismissing your role of caretaker for your wife during her pregnancy. Good for you. But don't act like it's anywhere near the same as her role.
Woman 1 - 0 Man

The only way it can ever be. I hope no, though. I hope one day humans evolve so far that one half of the baby is born by the mother and the other half is born by the father. Then they go home and piece the baby together like an IKEA table.

What is so patriarchal about the society? I should feel like in heaven. So why am I not? What is that so good that is in a man's life? That he represses women and at the same time is not as good as women?
