Actually, multiple studies show that men have higher desire to have children than women.
It’s interesting and sad how so many people state their sexist and stereotypical believes as facts. And than want proof their believes are wrong, otherwise they will continue to believe in their sexist beliefs as if they were facts, even without any proof for their own narrative.
I could ask you, why are you so sure women want children more?
Studies and national surveys of multiple countries show the opposite:
Female students showed lower willingness for future childbirth than male students (χ2 = 26.85, p < .001). Women valued motherhood significantly less than men valued fatherhood (t = 6.34, p < .001). Women had a lower fertility knowledge score than men (t = 2.53 p = .012).
Why Young Women Are Less Interested In Marriage And Children Than Young Men
When it comes to having children a similar pattern emerged, with 67% of males saying they want to have children one day compared to 61% of females. Just 12% of males said they didn’t want children compared to 16% of females
Why do more men than women think children equal fulfillment?
Single und kinderlos: Vor allem Männer wünschen sich Nachwuchs
shhh, don’t spoil the lad(and other like him)'s fantasies that women secretly all want children
remember kids, it’s not misogyny if she secretly wants it (of course she does, she’s a woman!) /s
Props for pulling the sources!
Though the other commenter saying “that sounds like it is made up” is definitely not presenting an opinion as fact, it is challenging that you presented your opinion as fact (in the uninformed person’s eyes) with no sources to back it up (in your original comment). But then you came with proof afterwards that it has indeed been studied and is a fact.
That does not mean that he was “stating his sexist stereotype as fact”.
If I said:
“Multiple studies have shown that the majority of people think the earth is flat”
with no sources.
Then anyone would be very reasonable to say “that sounds like you are making it up” (which in this case is true).
Actually, you can find studies that confirm any bias you like.
What matters a lot more is what the body of research as a whole trends towards. Meta studies are the things to read, if you can get them.
Do you have a source that women want children more than men? Since so many of you treat that as a fact I am sure you have ample of research backing you up.
You can’t be serious. YOU MADE THE CLAIM that’s not how this works.
You literally said “aCTuALLY, MULtIPLe STUdiES shOw ThAT …” And you’re asking me to prove you wrong when asking you to list a single one of these “multiple studies”
