True naturally. But fatherhood has declined in other groups where there has been no rise in incarceration concurrently with the rise of female status.
I think this is because the average male stripped of social (patriarchal) status signaling or marked accomplishment feels intuitively less valuable to us than a female. The thoroughly average Joe is implicitly worth less as a human being to us than a thoroughly average Jane at least when it comes to sympathy with their suffering or desire to alleviate terrible socioeconomic circumstances. Men might be “worth more” according to our intuition when looking for exceptional traits however.
