“Still not over the American woman who was super surprised to see so many men walking around with strollers and generally looking after their children alone during her travels through the Nordic countries.”

It’s getting better, but you have two factors. One a large portion of men with kids were raised by their mothers, so they don’t know another way. That is shifting though. The other is that American women tend to be more competitive or something. Part of the capitalist society type competitive. People still see the kids as Moms job, so if the kids aren’t dressed right or whatever, it’s Mom’s fault. Pair that with the extra competitiveness and plenty of ladies don’t trust their man tomanage things. And because the Man isn’t going to be judged, he doesn’t have as high a bar for perfection, which just amplifys things.
Like I get my son dressed in the morning. And my wife will often reject my choices. Now I have no fashion sense at all, so she isn’t wrong or anything. If people wouldn’t judge her on my choices, she could relax. Another thing is I handle all the medical and school stuff. But they all still call Mom first. I’ve had to remove her number in some cases. So even a guy who is trying gets undercut. It’s all very messed up.
