Well, if women are glorified trash bags in the context of reproduction, then men are nothing at all - and they know it. The day may come when technology makes it possible to design easy to use artificial and safe uteruses, but up till now science only succeeded in creating artificial semen as well as the IVF-technique.
It has been known that the IVF-father of many children, Elon Musk, had some plans of working on the design of artificial wombs. However, that plan many have been postponed for a while as he seems to have other concerns right now. "Luckily enough" (???) someone else, namely Yemen born biotechnologist Hashem-Al-Ghaili, has great plans of building a sort of "birth factory" which may accommodate all the experts in gynecology as well as the necessary settings for "birth labs" with machinery that replicates the female womb. In his opinion, it would be easy to bring forth c. 30,000 babies a year in such a "factory".
Some years ago, scientists working on the same lines as Hashem-Al-Ghaili and Elon Musk, succeeded in bringing forth a lamb in an artificial womb, but as far as I know that's the only time that happened. Something which is understandable when one considers how costly something like that would be, and how vulnerable a fetus is without the natural protection of its mother's womb.
Babies are cute, but also they are an investment in a society which can't do without workers. If modern women prefer not to have human babies, but only "furbabies", it's understandable, as society hasn't made it easy on them in some so-called "highly developed" countries.
While guys like e.g. Elon Musk and Hashem-Al-Ghaili may dream of the day when they free the male sex from the female power-grip on breeding by using machinery, mimicking a womb, others may have more sinister ideas. Recently there have been some reports of a pregnant, but brain-dead woman, who shall be forced into going through a full pregnancy and some kind of birth. The reason for this is the new abortion-law-system, and the killing off of Roe. However, this situation has led to several suggestions by some people/men: "If healthy women prefer furbabies to human babies and thus go on strike, refusing to give birth, then we should target brain-dead women to do so!" I find it easy to see such a situation develop from idea to reality because some societies already, sort of, toy with that kind of "solutions".
