NEW YORK -- Forget sympathy pains -- nearly 40 percent of French men said they want to go through the real thing.

According to a poll published in the current issue of Children's Magazine, 38 percent of the 500 French fathers questioned said they wish they could be pregnant and go through labor instead of their wives.

And the poll finds many women would be OK with that. An even greater percentage of them said they would be up for the switch.

The same survey said 71 percent of the French men surveyed said they're prepared to take a year-long sabbatical or put in a request to work part-time to be more of a hands-on dad.

The poll was conducted by the marketing company Ipsos.

My girl just had our first child and if I could have, I would have carried my little boy so she didnt have to deal with any of the pain and hell, I already combine all kinds of different foods together and scarf it down. Although those 38% also wish they could probably have a punaner as well and not have to be a man.

What kind of wine do these French men drink?

Beaujolais seems a little too sophisticated...anyone want to suggest something sweet, sissy and French?

I think the French are fibbing. French men really don't want to have babies; they merely want to lop the heads off the little darlings to bring back the glory days of the Terror.

It's easy to say when you know it's not going to happen. I wonder what the results would be if the prospect was more credible.

French women must be in dire need of some masculine attention. If I were young and single I would be headed over.

No thanks. Already had a kidney stone. Not putting a baby through there, too.

FRANCIS: Yeah. I think Judith's point of view is very valid, Reg, provided the Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every man--

STAN: Or woman.

FRANCIS: Or woman... to rid himself--

STAN: Or herself.

FRANCIS: Or herself.

REG: Agreed.

FRANCIS: Thank you, brother.

STAN: Or sister.

FRANCIS: Or sister. Where was I?

REG: I think you'd finished.

FRANCIS: Oh. Right.

REG: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man--

STAN: Or woman.

REG: Why don't you shut up about women, Stan. You're putting us off.

STAN: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.

FRANCIS: Why are you always on about women, Stan?

STAN: I want to be one.

REG: What?

STAN: I want to be a woman. From now on, I want you all to call me 'Loretta'.

REG: What?!

LORETTA: It's my right as a man.

JUDITH: Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

LORETTA: I want to have babies.

REG: You want to have babies?!

LORETTA: It's every man's right to have babies if he wants them.

REG: But... you can't have babies.

LORETTA: Don't you oppress me.

REG: I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a womb! Where's the foetus going to gestate?! You going to keep it in a box?!

LOL! I wonder if they are saying this because they know it can't happen.

And if it could happen, I wonder if men are up to the task. There is a lot more to it than carrying and giving birth.

God made women to have babies.
