Like it or not, sister, it's not the same. It just isn't. In all animal species, the mother is, and has always been, much more closely tied to the children than the father. That's just how nature works, regardless of what Gloria Steinem says about it.
Human beings and animals are NOT the same!
Gawd does this stuff irk the fuck out of me!
You wanna live like the animals? Fine. You'll only get sex once a year, the kids will be tossed out almost immediately, and for food you can go scavenge carcasses like a buzzard.
And some species dont' look after their young AT ALL. They're on their own as soon as they're born/hatch. Imagine of that happene with human babies!
You've reminded me that snakes and turtles don't do anything. They simply lay the eggs in what they think is a safe place and wish them the best. If I had to be a moo I'd want to do it just like a snake or a turtle.

Look at the amount of people saying "Don't make a decision you can't reverse"
Pity she didn't think of that in the first place.

Don't male sea horses carry the fertilized eggs in their pouch until they hatch?
I've heard that with sea horses the male is the one that's pregnant.
Both in the sea horse and the needle fish the male get pregnant.
In many kind of fishes, the female gives the eggs to the male, who cares for them and the small fishes that hatches. Same is in many frogs.
In south America, the Emu take the fertilize eggs of many females and cares for them and the birdies when they hatch. If you go in the pampas in the right season, you might see this big flightless bird running around, with a lot of small cute birdies who follow him (awwwh). This is commong among other birds as well.
In some species of bats, the male lactates and feeds the baby-bats.
In a lot of social mammals, female and males partecipates equally in the cure of the offsprings (wolfes, some kind of hamsters, many kinds of monkeys).
So I call BS on that statement
