      It’s interesting and sad how so many people state their sexist and stereotypical believes as facts. And than want proof their believes are wrong, otherwise they will continue to believe in their sexist beliefs as if they were facts, even without any proof for their own narrative.

      I could ask you, why are you so sure women want children more?

      Studies and national surveys of multiple countries show the opposite:

      Gender differences in willingness for childbirth, fertility knowledge, and value of motherhood or fatherhood and their associations among college students in South Korea, 2021

      Female students showed lower willingness for future childbirth than male students (χ2 = 26.85, p < .001). Women valued motherhood significantly less than men valued fatherhood (t = 6.34, p < .001). Women had a lower fertility knowledge score than men (t = 2.53 p = .012).

      Why Young Women Are Less Interested In Marriage And Children Than Young Men

      When it comes to having children a similar pattern emerged, with 67% of males saying they want to have children one day compared to 61% of females. Just 12% of males said they didn’t want children compared to 16% of females

      Why do more men than women think children equal fulfillment?

        Props for pulling the sources!

        Though the other commenter saying “that sounds like it is made up” is definitely not presenting an opinion as fact, it is challenging that you presented your opinion as fact (in the uninformed person’s eyes) with no sources to back it up (in your original comment). But then you came with proof afterwards that it has indeed been studied and is a fact.

        That does not mean that he was “stating his sexist stereotype as fact”.

        If I said:

        “Multiple studies have shown that the majority of people think the earth is flat”

        with no sources.

        Then anyone would be very reasonable to say “that sounds like you are making it up” (which in this case is true).

          I didn’t realise it wasn’t the same person. The original comment I reacted to wrote this:

          No shit it’s correlated more women want kids than men. Professor was a dipshit

          Which has 50 upvotes still. It shows me that people accept this theory without the need for sources out of sexist stereotyping. No one responded with “you are making it up”. Instead it’s accepted as truth.

          While demanding sources when I write the opposite.
