Women liberation came creeping all across the nation...
Soon us men will be expected to give birth too.
Nowadays, in Sweden, it is very much expected that the father is present during the whole delivery. However, it was not too long ago he was almost not allowed in the delivery room and afterwords the parents and child were separated initially. This is to us nowadays complete and utter nonsense. The initial period between the child and mother is absolutely essential for bonding and the childs well being. I am not sure the same goes for the father, but personally, I feel being there to experience my childrens birth was the biggest moments in my life. Perhaps that stems from a primitive, strong drive for multiplication of myself and seeing their birth is kind of a verification of that.
Off course, a guy can never be hundred per cent certain he is raising his own kids genetically speaking..
