(For those not familiar, Cam Newton is an American football player)

Quote:"I just think that the reality of that answer is that women’s value gets lowered the more children that they have," he said on the podcast. "I was having this conversation with one of the mothers of my children and she’s still fine. Like, I was telling her, ‘The guy that you’re dating or will date, if he ain’t willing to love on these five children that you have, he ain’t the guy for you.’

He's not wrong about making sure a new guy will treat the kids right, not just the mother. But he leads off with the sad and infuriating part. Plus as a babydaddy of many, he's part of the problem.

Hmm... Politicians and men in general are crying about a birth rate crisis because we just NEED more valuable humans, but the people who create that "human value" decrease their own value in doing so? Somebody is lying...

Women with children are not worth less. My husband (stepfather to my 3) and I just talked about this because we've been watching Love is Blind (I love the drama, sue me. I relish psychoanalyzing these people). Dating and marrying a woman with kids IS hard, but not because she's "used up" or whatever. It's hard because the more people involved in something, the more complex the dynamic becomes. My husband had dated another matriarch before me, and she had involved her kids really quickly. It made things really complicated for him, because he became invested in the kids even as the romantic relationship with their mother was deteriorating. In my grandma's case, she and my grandpa (dad's stepdad) had a great relationship but a lot of the conflict they faced was because of trying to blend both sides' children into one family and my uncle didn't like my grandpa. There are just a lot more dynamics to worry about, but no one involved has less value--not the kids, not the mom, not the "beta cuck taking care of another man's kids" (uhh, they're the children of their mother far more than the children of "another man," let's be real). Loving a matriarch also requires loving her children because it's a package deal, so the bar is just higher.
