Most men really don't care about children. Men want sexual access to women's bodies, babies are a by-product of sex. Mother bonds to baby during and immediately after birth due to oxytocin, and the bond is strengthened by breastfeeding. Bonding between men and children is much weaker at the biological level, in fact non-existent at the biological level unless the man touches the baby frequently.Kradmelder wrote:That is terrible. The man is held to ransom and must pay to see his own kids? If a man wants to see his kids, if he wants to file for custody, does he have any legal recourse if the mother refuses access?Why would japanese men accept such a blatantly unfair practice? Who would even want to breed when a wife can just walk out and charge you big bucks just to see your kids? the kids become a money making commodity.
Men have been conditioned by patriarchal society to act like women with regards to children. That is, to bond strongly and take a property interest in the children. In the natural order of things, young children are mostly women's business, and men are mostly concerned with mentoring younger men, whether their own or someone else's. What matters to men is common interests with other men, not biological relationship. Women are the biological sex. Men are spiritual.
