Do you think the world would be a better place if men had to be the ones to get pregnant and endure the pain

I think if men were to become the ones to have kids the human race would really decrease in population(guys wouldn't want to get pregnant) . So many guys have told me they're glad they are guys because they don't have to deal with all the stuff women deal with.
Well, anyway, I'm really not sure it would make the world a better place. I don't see how, it would probably be the same as it is now.

I think women have children because they're more nurturing. Men are more practical and in the first few weeks and months of its life, a baby needs love from its mother/carer to develop. They need to be talked to in order to start talking. There was some study done where they left the babys alone-they still fed them and everything, just didn't give them love and some of the babys didn't even survive and the others developed slower than the control test. If a child doesn't learn a language by the age of 5 (at least one), then they'll never be fluent in a langugage-they'll be able to pick up words but not fluency. This is because all the brain develops a lot from the age of 0-5 years old.I'm not saying men are cold but emotions just aren't their strength-practicality is.

Once again, getting over your rejection! Childbirth is horrendous from what I've heard. Women have died in childbirth-not so much these days but it still can happen. Childbirth can last for like 72hrs-thats THREE DAYS! and some women have to have caesarian sections which leave you with a scar on your bikini line which is very sore after the birth. this is all from what I've heard-i have no kids. but trust me, rejection is easier

oh to answer your question, I think the world would be better for women but worse for children because I don't think men would give up their jobs to look after the kids. I think there's a reason women have kids and men dont. women are naturally more nurturing and more willing to make sacrifices than men are. I know I'm generalising-some female mothers can be awful and the dads are great-but it usualy is the way that the dad is a complete workaholic who the kids never see. I don't think men would be able to handle taking care of a child 24/7

If men got pregnant, then women would be the rulers and then there wouldn't be as many wars. Women wouldn't want to start wars because they think of the civilians that will probably be hurt esp if they are women with kids like themselves. I don't think women would be as greedy either so there wouldn't be any credit crunches. I do think the world would be better overall because women would all have equal rights and not be opressed.

Yeah I would definitely have kids if the man could give birth lol. Well not defo but more likely. Once the woman has a kid, her life changes forever and she's stuck with a kid 24/7. You can't hand them back! I only like doing the nice things like taking them to the park which is pretty much what a working dad will do. He won't have time to look after the kid so gets all the good bits. Once a woman has a kid, her career progression is over. Whatever level she's at, then that's it. No company will give her more promotions because they know that when it comes down to it, she will prioritise her children over work. Which is the way it should be but its not great for the company who only care about making a profit. see this article for proof: link

Also the amount of single mothers stuck with the baby while the guy runs off is unreal!
I don't think pregnancy is a blessing. Its a bloody curse! We have to be so careful about contraception. If I couldn't get pregnant, I would sleep with more ppl. You should realise how lucky you are and quit moaning. Women also get paid a lot less than men in work for doing similar work. The women's movement is the only reason women even have any rights. There are lots of countries where womens laws are severely limited-they just can't do anything and have to wear burkas etc. Women are still trafficked as prostitutes a lot or sold into marriage-it just doesn't happen as much with men because the demand isn't there.

I don't mean to rant but honestly what did you expect?! Like you have got to be kidding me!

If you guys could give brith, I guess that would be easier for some girls because sometimes guys are jerks and leave but the shoe would be on the other foot. Personally, for some reason I want to give birth? wierd, I know, but I want to be the one to carry the baby. also, if that happened women woulden't get their periods and this would lead to less bitchy-ness and mood swings and I bet men would like that!

As for why I want to give birth, I just don't know. I like the idea of me being the reason for someone is living, because if you think about it,scientists just found out a way to create sperm so we don't even need men to get pregnant anymore. But, I want to carry my future husbands babies and to grow his DNA in me. Wierd, I know but I just want it.

Interesting thought, but no, I don't think the world would be a better place. As you've so unsympathetically put it- pregnancy and childbirth is only 9 months (although periods can last up to 45-50 years and then of course there's menopause oh joy!) and then it's over. I don't believe pregnancy defines the child it brings into the world- BOTH parents do that regardless of who actually gives birth and let's face it, there are some amazing parents of both genders and some crappy parents of both genders. As for affecting women- I'm sure pregnancy changes your outlook on the world and certainly the ability to have children affects how you see sex, family, and the pregnancy process but I don't think it fundamentally makes or breaks a woman's personality- and I don't think men would be better off if they gave birth nor would women. We'd probably be in about the same place- only maybe we'd have a reversal of the double-standard for sex and MEN would be labelled sluts and whores while women could sleep with as many people as they wanted and not be judged for it. You saying you wouldn't care what society thought in the same sentence as using those judgemental terms just proves you DO care and you WOULD care what society thought if it described you that way.
Bottom line- we'd still be bringing babies into this world that both parents have to raise and care for, so I think the world would be just about the same.

wow interesting question... I think men would fall over and die...not all but most. As it is men complain " we initiate everything" ya ok that's it... but think of the mothers who initiate everything who go to work come home to work and be a mom and a wife booty call lover whatever... and on top of both those jobs she has to keep the role of being the attractive female... woman are multi task men well not so multi... but I do have to admit it would be great to see men be the ones giving birth.. maybe there would be less that want to get around the block and knock someone up only to go do that all over again with some other female...overall eve wasn't the only who ate the fruit from the tree... .and major probs for single dads...! and rejection are you serious... " what doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

you coulnt handle it! men have lots of strengths but bearing and raising a child is a woman job. ya you have to go threw it all cowering behind the doctor?Go threw it all I'm sorry but getting me ice cream at three am doesn't make up for the 2 hrs of vomiting I do every day! Men would give up the first time they sneezed and p*ssed their pants from the pressure!

Oh no, we would be like 17 billlions on this planet!

I think certain guys deserve to endure that pain because they show very little sympathy to the woman who goes through the pain. When some men feel very helpless while still trying to comfort the woman as much as possible, those guys don't deserve it in my opinion, because they give a damn. The guys who think it's nothing more then another thing for women to complain about, they should get it :) And think about it, now, many guys already order their women around when they AREN'T pregnant, if they did get pregnant, think about what WE would have to go through with all their orders ;)

I'm sure you would change your mind if you actually did have to deal with periods and childbirth... The grass is always greener on thee other side.

Wow, is approaching women really that big of a deal? Get over it, being bitter isn't going to help your romantic situation. Women also have to work to be attractive and feminine so men will want to approach her. Women that sit around complaining about making an effort are the unattractive ones without dates (sound familiar?) Everyone has a role to play and yes, we have to put in effort to just like you do so get over it.

Well, why don't you tell us how you really feel...

The world wouldn't necessarily be a better place, just different. And if men did everything in relationships, they wouldn't bother having them with women.

To answer your question, the world would NOT be a better place. I do not think your question is absurd. The question itself, perhaps, just needs to be rephrased. Men and women need an honest level of communication. Understanding who they are, and the desires and needs of their significant other. But its seems as if you're misinformed about "Modern" women, and stuck in a time warp of "Made Men." LOL! But if you treat a marriage or relationship as if its 'duty-bond' (the expectations of both men and women), then you will have spent little time TRULY understanding your partner, and thus, will result in a failed relationships!

You're so obvious. You have asked stupid q's like this before. Just because you always get turned down by women, or you're too shy to ask a woman out. I can't work out which it is. But just because you are p*ssed because you feel men have to take the lead when it comes to women surely, you aren't so stupid to think you might aswell get pregnant. You're pathetic. You're logic is unbelievable. You sound very bitter. Men don't have high pain thresholds like women, you wouldn't be able to cope. Haha, all this just because you are annoyed that you have to ask a woman out. You seriously need mental help.

How in the world does this promote peace?

Update: I'm an apatheist link

No, like the ladies said we would give up and it would be weird to see a man pregnant..

"Update: If I was a Woman, I would become a slut or a whore, and I would not care what society thought of me, and I would get my tubes tied so I could never have kids."

Noted. It's an easy statement.
Well, since you're a guy, you'd be a male slut: link or a man whore: link
No need to be a woman for that.

BTW, men can be sterilized too, and even much easier than women, with less side effects: link
No need to be a woman for that.
Have you been vasectomized yet? If not, why not?

This is a pretty funny topic and I understand your frustration.

If men got pregnant instead of women, all schools would give compulsory contraception education, every man would be on birth control, which would be paid for by government.
Abortion would be one of the Ten Commandment's and a Constitutional Right.
there would be a lot less births, thus the world would not be so overpopulated, meaning less misery and malnutrition. Thus yes, it would be good for Mankind.
