It's a good question, not sure what the faux shock and offence is in aid of, if homosexual partners want to have a child it will be a decision reached with more forward planning than heterosexuals as the process is different... I see that.
It is just a stereotype from our patriarchal past that men were the responsible, dependable breadwinners, some are and some aren't it's not as easy as physically becoming a father the mental changes have to be there too.
If you've had a positive male role model I think that's easier for lads as they have someone to aspire to, if your rudderless it's harder maybe as it's more trial and error.
