This is a really weird issue that I really don’t understand how it’s so persistent. Even younger women doctors seem reluctant to sterilize women without at least checking if a husband/so is ok with it.
It's disappointing that the effects of discrimination against childless men are downplayed in the article, which focuses on discrimination against mothers.
The article clearly has a focus on people with children. And in the parts where childless men get mentioned as a comparison to men with children, the article makes pretty neutral statements about the differences.
Maybe you can provide some quotes of any downplaying happening, that would be pretty helpful for me to get you point.
OP posted an article that focuses on women in a community for men. Now, I'm not saying that's a problem. What is a problem is the fact that the article barely mentions the way society discriminates against men who are childless. In fact, the only significant mention is this little quote:
“Employers read fathers as more stable and committed to their work; they have a family to provide for, so they’re less likely to be flaky,” Ms. Budig said.
I don't see the value of this article in this particular community. It's well-known that women with children are commonly discriminated against. I've never heard anyone dispute that. We need more commentary about how this type of discrimination harms men.
