I remember attending antenatal appointments with my husband many years ago. NHS run, about 5 sessions in total. One was about breastfeeding and it was made clear that men didn't need to attend. Only one husband came. Five years later I saw the family again, because our children ended up in the same primary school. They got divorced. Turned out the guy was a total control freak, beat his wife, etc., etc.
There are many reasons why female healthcare excludes men from certain spaces. One is to give women a chance to speak up. Sadly, many don't but even if only some do, it's worth keeping that practice. Woke bros will never understand this.
