I assume those that just try to make jokes about this doesn't have kids of their own or try to cover their own pain with sarcasm. The message is important and some people really need to hear it to save themselves from a lot of pain.
I had a lady get mad at me for making this point. Her argument was that some men find their value in providing and I shouldn't shame them for it. Like bro... Time with your family is also important.
No one is trying to shame someone out of finding a purpose, but the deafening propaganda machine has pumped us so full of denial that we need to make these simple points. I think things like this was taken as self evident 50 or so years ago, but today we have to fight to keep our sanity and hold on to what little dignity and hope we have left.
