Sorry, but I don�t believe this story about the huicholes. Does it come from a good reliable source?
By the way, I�m not totally convinced about this kind of comparisons about men and women. If we, men, had the task of giving birth we surely would have been equipped by nature with all the resources needed for carrying a baby for nine months and then giving birth. Besides, women also complains, complaining is not a monopoly of men. Everybody complains in this interesting days, we live in the era of complaining.
It's nice and politically correct make comparisons in which men are the bad of the story, but it�s not always right.

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.   The Huichol's decided to find out when the men were bragging too much about the hunting while the women tended the fields.  They tied a leather thong around the man's genitals and as the wife gave birth she was given the thongs to pull along with the labor pains.   I wonder if she was a socialist?
