7. In an ideal world, men would be required to share the responsibility
of parenting a child.

But the reality is that women are the ones with the wombs, they are the one who lactate and thus carry more of the responsibility; all of it if the man just disappears.

There is nothing lazy about motherhood, only hard, cold facts. Women still earn less than men, have less opportunities to earn what they are worth because employers still view their first "loyalty" to the kids. If a parent has to stay home with a sick kid, it is often the mother.
