here are the facts......women carry babies inside, women give birth, women lose lots of blood doing it, and its very painful, and there is no sharing the pain.....
and to put the myth to bed about doctors "delivering" babies....MOTHERS give birth, the doc is there to catch the baby but he does not do the delivering....moms do that all by themselves....
I think it would be good to get back to male/female roles and stop thinking one sex can do it all OR needs to take part in every single thing..
how about it be left up to the wishes of the couple...
In 99% of births that’s true; however in an emergency the doc sure does deliver the baby. It’s called a caesarean section. A doctor or nurse has got to monitor the baby’s and mother’s condition which can change in an instant, as it did with me. Absent that monitoring both the baby and I would have been goners.
Men need to be at his wife’s shoulders, there is no need to ‘catch’ the baby. There’s some normal but unappetizing stuff going on.
And a lot of healing after. If the dad needs to be the first holder, fine, but let the doctor/nurse hand the baby right over the mother’s right thigh.
Men tend to view their wive’s parts as their own, and the temporary dislocation of that ‘part’ is not helpful to their view. Not only that, birthing mothers may yearn for Mother’s and Sister’s help... who will have no sexual impact on the delivery for the mom and dad later.
You are also pretty darn liberal and feminist. How about you keep the men in your life wherever you want them and let the rest of us negotiate with our own wives.
You don’t have children though yet do you hon?
You might change some of those notions
