The male ego is already SO inflated by cultural bias...that whenever anyone in their immediate family does anything good they automatically feel entitled enough to take credit for it all. So no matter what it is, they wear even having children as a badge of honor. Like as if the others who arent dont matter. Its always an eliciting emotional responses tactic in media and politics to mention kids. We always talk of women judging women for xyz decisions, but men statistically have been proven to be more catty in their approach to other men.
