Do most women really feel like most men couldn't handle periods or child birth?

100%, most guys couldn’t handle those things. Obviously, I’ve never been pregnant but I can emphasise with it (considering I will be one day) better than most guys could.

Pregnancy is one of the most emotionally, physically and mentally exhausting things you could go through. You can have a hundred symptoms going at once throughout your pregnancy. Your body goes through so many changes; inside, outside, physically, mentally, hormonally. The fact that you’re growing a living being inside of your body - your womb, is fascinating. You give up your whole body for it.

To create and give birth to a baby takes so much strength and work. Women are the ones who do it for a reason, because they’re the only ones who can handle it and are adapted to it.

And then there’s periods, which aren’t as shitty as pregnancy, but still shit. I woke up early in the morning on my period one time. I was nauseous, incredibly weak and I had the worst cramps. I was in so much pain and I felt awful, but I was too weak to go looking for pain killers. I tried to get up but I couldn’t, so I lied there in pain until my mum got home.

Periods happen monthly. You start getting PMS (pre menstrual syndrome) about a week before your period, then you have horrible symptoms on your period and then even for a week afterwards. So you only get about a week or two of rest before your next period. It takes effort to bleed to your insides out like that.

I don’t think guys could handle it.

I don't know 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think those who turn into babies when they pick up a cold definitely couldn't 😅 others could, I guess.

I have never known a man to turn into a "baby" when he has a cold. This is a zoomer thing I guess. I know men who show up to work with cancer, broken bones, coughing up blood. Society has zero respect for men who fail due to illness.

One of my best friends is a baby when he gets sick, Kraken

[KrakenAttackin]

@Slim57. Than your friend is a bitch.

[whereismyjohnny]

@KrakenAttackin I know a few. Some are in their 20s some are older men, but like I said I think it's a minority who couldn't handle it.

That mindset is what led to the long standing myth that women handle discomfort and pain better than men, which has of course been proven false. Like all other kinds of discomfort, men would handle periods and child birth at least as well as women.

If I started bleeding out my dick with horrible cramps and mood swings n shit, I’d probably go to the hospital scared af

Not sure what other women think. But I think men would be surprised by how taxing these events are mentally, physically, and emotionally. Most would be able to handle it probably.

[EllaNella]

men could probably handle it but i do think that many men underestimate how much childbirth/periods can hurt.

[Amoebaaa]

Ahhh I can't assume nonsense cr*p about this. We can't guess what would happen. Lol

[OldSchool_Metalhead]

Some men can't, others can. But one thing they won't know exactly is how painful periods or childbirth can be since they dont experience it themselves

[TrueConfection]

I think they could, but the pregnancy would be more of an issue.

[Cubus]

Because they couldn't have handle. Women are evolutionary adjusted to have higher pain tolerance, just because they give birth, so it's needed.

[DaveToo]

I've dealt with both. There are probably some that can't.

[Flower7]

Yes, I feel that way. Especially the periods.

[SignedAutographs]

Conservatives men couldn't

Liberals could

[Blackcupcake]
