It's not about the woman.

It's the internal change that fatherhood forces. Caring for your children moves you further along the path from 'boy' to 'man.' Having to father a child invokes manhood as steward and warden. You care about the world more, because your children inherit it. Your focus ceases to be entirely self-centered because you are invested in your children's success: father to son, in a chain that lasts past your own life.

Fatherhood is literal Patriarchy, and is one of the things Feminists want to destroy. The fact that you're speaking against it is deeply ironic.
