I do think newborns are much better off with female parents and men raising very young children feels a bit unnatural.

This is kind of counterintuitive to the message that fathers should be involved with the lives of their children, isn't it?

Basic child rearing abilities should be a basic skill for any father worth their salt.

It's hypocritical to campaign for gender equality without upholding this principle.

Saying mn need to be involved and do the work for their kids, isn't the same thing as a kids with only males parents and no female ones though, at all.Again, never said two men could't raise a kid, I said isn't as natural and seeing a newborn with two males and no female around, kind give off unnatural initial perception.

C'mon, you know why this is the case: society dumps most of the child rearing on women, so a male taking such responsability ends up feeling very off for most people.

As society's become more and more equal, these kinds of taboos will have to be addressed.

Isn't just that. Naturally is the one who keep children inside and put them in the world, that's seeing newborn around withot females feels so unnatural. It isn't society that makes female figure so essential and naturally more involved in child rearing. Totally equality can't be have as the sexes aren't totally equal. That doesn't mean males can raise kids fine or shouldn't do equal amount of work raising them, but it isn't just society the reason of fthe naturality of child raising by female, it's simply nature.
