This is a trip. When a woman competes in a man's area he complains but when she doesn't follow his work rules he complains. I wonder how he would do at carrying a baby for nine months and then giving birth
[snip]
I don't know personally about giving birth, but some women seem to find it at most "not much" while others suffer greatly, and every where in between.
But the child eventually gets born, even if, like a certain person I have heard of, he did his best to keep from being born and "they" finally defeated him by applying overwelming technological force (a C-section).
*HOWEVER*! From my recent experience, I know there are two kinds of motherhood: (1) where the mother changes the diapers (etc.), and (2) where "help" changes the diapers (etc.).
Being the second kind of mother is a very different form of life than being the first kind, and, as for me, I would recommend each person to think VERY carefully and "try before you buy" if you are contemplating the first alternative, which may be incompatible with enjoying "higher cultural pursuits" in one's life until it is over (presuming one has any wish left to pursue "higher things" after such a tour of duty).
"Mother" is, so far, not a highly informative label (sort of like "citizen", which covers everyone from the poor bloke who pulls a few voting machine levers every couple years, up to POTUS and Supreme Court Justices et al.)
