“If he can sleep through the night, he’s much better able to help and take care of what needs doing in the day while mama stays in her nest to recover for the first 40+ days.

Besides, even if he stays up all night, he will not be able to lounge in bed all day like mama will—neither his hormones nor the world’s expectations of him will let that happen”

“Mama” will not recover if she does not sleep. “Mama” can not “lounge in bed all day” if she has any other children and her husband is at work, as most are pretty soon after birth. You people are being cruel to moms by introducing this gender-anxious hyper-scrupulosity into their lives where it doesn’t belong. How about just be a team and love one another? How about some chivalric understanding that she just brought life into the world at great risk to her own and maybe, just maybe, Dad can sacrifice a little bit of sleep to honor her need to, oh idk, heal the bleeding wound the size of a dinner plate inside her body. Fuck your gender ideology, which is just as rigid, flat, and dehumanizing as the trans movement.
