The article seems to indicate a physically cute baybee will generally elicit the desire to care for it, moreso than an ugly one.
I find all baybees ugly....when I look at a baybee, all I can see is an ugly sinkhole of need.
The article says female in particular can't separate baybees from the obligation to care for them. That makes sense to me--society shoves baybees down women's throats--the biological mandate and all that crap---, whether they want them or not.
I remember being a kid myself and thinking, "have some man's baybee? Let him have his own damn baby." I found it revolting to see men become fathers and their lives didn't change all that much, while a female's life changes completely.
