Is monogamous dating too restrictive?

I had this thought today, well after I was blown off by my 'dial a f*ck'
As women are so loving, nurturing and generally bestow this natural connection. Is it fair to say we should be living as woman and woman who grow and nurture each other and our children whilst the men lead their own lives and only seek us to mate with...
Much like lions and lionesses.

What are your thoughts?

It can be hard that sometimes people seem to totally disregard men who are the primary care giver to a baby, as if we don’t exist.

@TopOfTheWorld I read yesterday it takes men up to 6 months before they bond with a baby. Mum bonds from conception...

TopOfTheWorld

@Peppa not in the case of my baby. His mum struggled to bond and she was so relieved that I took over as very much his primary care giver from when he was a couple of weeks old. A couple of years later when we separated he stayed with me and I became a single parent.

@Peppa but like I say , some people think men like me don’t exist

@TopOfTheWorld it's just not common

TopOfTheWorld

@Peppa yes it’s rare. Sometimes when he was a baby it would make me feel excluded when strangers and society in general would assume that the mother is, or should be, always the primary care giver. But when I look at what kind of adult human being he’s become and his achievements I couldn’t ask for any more reward or justification for how I brought him up.

@TopOfTheWorld well good for you one of your most proudest/biggest achievements :-)

@Peppa thank you, nothing in my life has been more important than doing my best in bringing up my children.
