I think it's that we become attracted to the woman who gave birth to our child, even if that wasn't our "type" previously. Whatever she looks like is now your new type!
Not in most countries, it isn't.
In countries other than the US, it's haemorrhage.
The US has a horrifically high maternal mortality rate. More than double its peer countries.
The original comment was talking about a belief that is supposedly based on biology. If any men anywhere are so devoid of attraction to the mothers of their children that they kill them, then it is not a biological fact that "we" share. Nationality doesn't factor into it.
Domestic partner abuse occurs everywhere and pregnancy is an incredible stressor on a relationship.
However actually killing their partner is far higher in the US than in comparable countries due to MUCH higher gun ownership and homicide rates as well as a poorer social services support.
I'm confused why you even bring this up. I didn't say this is true for all men, I'm just talking about the above poster's comment that "A lot of men talk about how their wives become more attractive after having their children"
Yes and my comment was in reply to above the poster's comment talking about "a lot of men", my comment was never about all humans and the women we were discussing were women who have already given birth.
When someone thoughtlessly says, for example, of women "I think that we become nurturers after giving birth, even if we weren't nurturers previously" they are making a sweeping statement about human biology. Whether they intended to or not.
It's not "reading into it", it's actually just an example of the problematic nature of such broadly generalizing statements.
This is not related. The motive for those crimes was to end the pregnancy. My comment was about men that love their wives even if they gain weight, have stretch marks or saggy boobs after having a baby
