They skipped that bothersome bit about the end of scientific progress.

Even the parts about "There would be proper paid maternity leave. "
Are you in favor of paid materity leave?

Sydney filmmakers, it has emerged this week, are making a documentary about fathers who pretend to breastfeed their new babies. Apparently, the fathers believe that this aids the bonding process. Breast Feeding should not be attempted by fathers with hairy chests, since they can make the baby sneeze and give it wind.

Popping out as many babies as possible would become a manly sport. One kid? what are you a sissy?
Child support laws would be abolished since real men don't need any WOMAN for money.

The strange thing is that there are ACTUAL cases where that really does happen, no pretending.
True is stranger than fiction.

I've seen information about men getting shots to stimulate lactation. I've seen some type of vested strap on contraptions to aid in nipple stimulation for men to breastfeed...here is a site talking about this stuff:
http://www.unassistedchildbirth.com/milkmen.htm To tell you the truth, I have no idea if the above article is a spoof or not. This world has just gone crazy.

Okay, maybe not nursing men, but the amount of time they spent in labor being printed on the birth certificate is that absolute!
I spent 28 hours in labor with my 1st daughter (induced). Two years later, I was about 5 hours into labor with my 2nd when my hubby told the doctor I had a low pain tolerance. After all in attendance finished picking their jaws up off the floor, the doctor tactfully told him, "If I passed a grapefruit through your nostril for 10 hours, you would have a low pain tolerance too."

We are going to need it if men are having babies and women are stay-at-home moms like me!

If you can't ignore two sentences in an otherwise hilarious piece...
And of course there would be high-paid maternity (paternity?) leave if men had babies. That doesn't mean I think it would be a good thing. But there is a good chance it would happen.

Women are DESIGNED to have babies. There are over 5 billion people on earth right now and each one of these people had a mother who gave birth.
