I, recently, watched a movie that heavily dealt with the concept of women giving birth to children. While I was watching it, I couldn't help but wonder about a woman's point of view. What do they, generally think, about giving birth to children?

There are certain things that only a woman will ever truly understand. Giving birth to a child, is one of them. Women are the only ones who can do it. Do they spend much time thinking about this? Do they feel as if they're making a great sacrifice, when they choose to have a child? After all, the process involves lots of pain and discomfort. Do they view it as unfair, or are they happy to do it?

A long time ago, I heard a woman say that she feels sorry for men, because we'll never know what it's like to give birth. So, I guess that answers how she views it. Is her view common, among women?

Here are a few questions that I have for women.

If you could give birth to children, without them being required to grow inside of you, would you do it, or would you feel as if you'd be missing out on something that's sacred? If your plan is to have children, is giving birth something that you dread, or do you not think about it, so much? For some of you, is it something that you look forward to, despite it being a physically unpleasant experience?

For me, there's something that's very intriguing about knowing that only a woman can answer questions like these.

Finally, I want to thank you, as you go through life, regularly dealing with issues that men never have to struggle with. You endure discomfort on a monthly basis. Yet, you complain so little about it, that I live my life, nearly completely unaware of it.

I guess this makes Mother's Day, one of the most warranted holidays. Thank you for all that you endure, on behalf of the human race.

You can be a Mom without giving birth (caring for children from a spouse's previous marriage, being a foster parent, caring for biological children born via surrogate). Should the act of giving birth be celebrated on a child's birthday? Or is Mother's day enough?

Obvious stuff like periods, giving birth, pregnancy, etc but also the less obvious stuff like objectification harassment, not being taken as seriously as men, being accused of being to emotional, being talked down to, among other things. Does that cause any degree of resentment?
