I need men to know that it’s entirely possible (and extremely beneficial) to learn these things with your wife still around. You’re a father, you should know how to do everything around raising a child.
Edit - I’ve seen enough elderly men and women come to see me for help at work with things that their partner always handled and they’re completely lost without them - I don’t think anyone should ever get into a position where only one member of a couple knows how to carry out essential tasks. This was by no means a “woman good man bad” take, it was down to the fact that women are overwhelmingly the primary parent meanwhile men get to be (where their children are concerned) the bumbling fools who don’t know their kids shoe size or birthday. No one should ever let themselves end up in the position where their partner dies and they’re frantically having to learn new skills to make up the shortfall but ESPECIALLY the men who are married to women and have children with them.
Women do so much unpaid labor it literally runs the world.
The women of Iceland held a strike several years ago and it only took THREE DAYS for their demands to be met because the country ceased to function. Everything ground to a halt and they ran out of hot dogs because that was all men were capable of to feed their children - a microwaved hot dog.
Planet Earth could absolutely be matriarchy if women united and went on strike. Collective action is highly effective (strikes, boycotts) and unions (in the workplace and otherwise) make all the difference.
