I'm a software engineer and my peers have always typically been men. I've actually had a different experience where I find being a father rather difficult and outside my comfort zone however most of my male peers don't. They go googly eyed every time a colleague brings their new baby into the office.
I've had to work hard to learn how to be a father including taking the rare opportunity to be a stay at home dad while my wife temporarily returned to work for 14 weeks. Interestingly some of my fellow engineer dads lamented the fact that they couldn't be stay at home parents, even if only for the early years, since they typically earned a lot more than their wives. It just didn't make sense financially for them.
Men taking care of their kids isn't some fad or temporary woke trend. Men have always taken care of their kids but changes in society are now opening up different ways for them to do that.
