If you can get a woman pregnant without science or money, you’re blessed

Because when you cannot, you ultimately just feel like shit a lot of the time about not being able to do essentially what men are put on this Earth to do, and then you see dads all over who seem to ignore their kids, pass them off to the wife, bark “I’m watching golf,” etc. — and you just wonder, well, is this the fate I’m resigned to by the cosmos? Maybe it is. I’m still not sure on that. I’m trying different things. But … if you’re a dude, and 2–3 children were relatively easy plays for you, I honestly don’t care how much they talk back, how much your boss is an asshole, how much you don’t get laid currently, how much you hate Biden/Trump, how annoyed you are with your lawn, or anything else — you’re blessed, and in this moment, I would trade with you.

I write about a lot of different topics, from work to masculinity to relationships and social dynamics, I.e. modern friendship. Pleasure to be here.
