Sorry for the first post, hit return too quickly.

What I meant to say in full is that there seems to be a link between this whole "woman are made/created to take care of children" argument and the fact that we feel that fathers are not in the picture enough, either in their actual presence, the provision of financial support, or providing emotional support.

If we want to accept this woman are the only persons to take care of the child argument (which I don't accept), then we have to accept it's consequence, which is that men don't feel that it is their responsibility to take as great a role in the nurturing and development in that child. Sorry, but that is not something that I am willing to accept.
