    I’d just chalk it up to a ~2 year time loss and go for another pregnancy.

    "Dead kid? No worries, just get another one"

      To be fair that was the prevailing mindset for centuries.

        Still the prevailing mindset in some less developed countries

        They didn't even name them until they were older because they lost so many early.

          Male mindset. The women loved every one of those babies. I remember talking to an old lady who'd lost 7 children and when I asked her if she ever thought of them she said "every morning when I tie on my bonnet." (she wore national dress, this was somewhere in the seventies)

            No, personal mindset. Stop laying everything you don't like at the feet of "men" at large. I've been an ally my whole life, but I identify as a cishet man, and I'm tired of the prejudice against my penis. Nothing about being a man requires a lack of emotion or empathy. Some people are just arseholes.

            As well, you claim every single woman loved every single one of her babies, throughout all of human history, because you spoke to one woman who felt that way. Statistically, you are unlikely to be correct in your assertion.

              OP is ostensibly a woman, so, no. Your misandry is showing.

                At the end of the day this is anecdotal too of course but I will say that there are a lot of historical documents like diaries and letters that somewhat support this claim. I've seen some where fathers mourned their children but many also just wrote something like "Youngest died from a fever. Was weak from the get-go so whatever." (I'm paraphrasing) which is something that I've never seen in a document written by a woman. I don't think that this has anything to do with men being inherently less emotional rather than arbitrary gender roles but still.

                  This damned planned obsolescence! They just don't make kids like they used to.
