Are women the creators or carriers of life?

[Anonymous]

I hear a lot of women say that they're the creator just because babies come out of their wombs. As I come to realize, they're not the creators of life, but the carriers because babies grow only in their womb. Men are the ones who plant the babies' lives into the woman's womb. So maybe men are the creators, and women are the carriers. What do y'all think?

I think that's 18th century thinking, before they understood that women produce eggs. Personally, I think providing 99.9999999999% of the fetus, carrying it for nine months, then giving birth trumps a few minutes of fun (even if you count the occasional lifetime of regret).

Carriers.

God creates life. Fertilization is the beginning of a new life. The womb is its incubator until it is big enough to live outside the body.

We are both. Technically men aren't needed, thanks to parthenogenesis. We can create essentially a clone of ourselves without any outside input.

Don't you think that kind of process will create problems for you and/or your kid?

Don't know, don't care. My point still stands.

They have their eggs from birth but they are useless without work to fertilize them.
So they are the carriers, and also co-creators along with their male.

Men and women are. But I do give most of the credit to the women.

Both are creators, women are the carriers.
