Male Privilege Checklist

I'm giving my opinion on The Male Peivilege number 12 off the checklist: "If I have children and pursue a career, no on will think I'm selfish for not staying home." I strongly dissagree with this privilege, not staying home is selfish beacause all father should attend to their kids when they are neeeded the most. When kids are born they require for both parent to be present most of the time. Fathers not being home is selfish to the mothers and to the kids themselves. Kids will grow without seeing there fathers much and this could lead to future problems in the family.
