“How him about doing his job? Women gave birth without their husbands in the delivery room, for years. That’s only became a thing over the last 30-40 years. You don’t need to be in the delivery room to support your wife.”

Stupid comment. Men have been going to the hospital with their wife for eons.

Stupid comment. For most of human history, women were helped through the birthing process by midwives. Men were not part of the process except in instances when complications arose and a physician needed to be consulted.

Giving birth in hospitals is a modern development and only became commonplace in the past 200 years. Prior to that, women typically gave birth at home, with the assistance of a midwife.
