Alice Thomson: Men, you’re the cause of our baby crisis

An article in The Times. I’ve just left the following comments:
What a ridiculous article. Men – including fathers – work and commute for many more hours than women, why should they ALSO do 50% of childcare and housework? Only a feminist could consider childcare as ‘sacrifice’, most mothers would prefer to be caring for their kids than working. Also, no mention of the 10+ million unborn children killed at the behest of their mothers since the 1967 Abortion Act. The number is still on the rise, at well over 200,000 p.a. In many cases, possibly most, the fathers are unaware of these killings, or are ignored if they want their children to live. Given that marriage today has long been so risky for men – I wrote a book on marriage, “The Fraud of the Rings” (2009) – with mothers able to deny their ex-partners contact with their kids with impunity, that we shouldn’t be surprised if many men choose not to be fathers. The predicted number of children per woman in the UK has declined from about 2.5 before the 1967 Act to about 1.5 today. This is overwhelmingly down to women. Mike Buchanan JUSTICE FOR MEN & BOYS
