Ricki Yasha TarrIn the 90's, a full grown man who was pretending to be a doctor, wrote a book called Men Are From Mars, and Women Are From Venus. The book simply stated that women are emotional, and men are rational, while writing about his downright abusive irrational treatment of his own wife, and somehow this was a best seller.
The very first thing in this book is a story about how his wife had an Incredibly difficult birth and he had left her alone with a newborn baby and in tons of pain like 5 days after she had the baby. He comes home and she's having a breakdown because she's trying to care for an infant and no one has picked up her pain prescription. He starts a fight with her about how she's accusing him of not caring for her, and starts to leave, but she convinces him that he needs to stay. Mind you he is a writer and has absolutely no reason to not be working from home and helping her out anyway. But you know women are irrational and emotional.

criminy, I had a c-section and at 5 days postpartum I was still wildly anemic from surgical bleeding and not able to stabilize my core enough to bend over a changing table to change a diaper
@thatandromeda RIGHT! Even you've had the best possible birth, 5 days seems really short!
