You need to get an education instead of pretending to be some feminist. Building trades and farming are BY FAR the biggest cause of death among its workers (mostly men) than ANYTHING else. It is higher than heart attacks, cancer, Malaria, AIDS, car crashes, terrorists...you name it. But most men do not complain about those risks in working. Death by giving birth in this day and age is insignificant by comparison. In addition, probably one third to half of all women report easy births. OffWorld ------------------------ Yahoo!
