Should 'Birth' include fathers since we are all born of one?

[Anonymous]

We all know from biology it takes a man to make a new human. Without men, we wouldn't be here. Every human being here is a 50% creation of a man. Genes, cells, hair, eye color, even behavior. Since 'birth' traditionally refers to the physical act of gestation of a newborn, should it also apply to fathers, considering they play a irreplaceable role in creating life? Some people use 'birth' metaphorically to mean 'creating from scratch,' but others take it literally, which can blur the lines of biological roles. Is it okay to twist the meaning of 'birth' to include fathers, or should there be a better word for their contribution?

Yes, it does not really matter 'birth', 'beget', 'make', etc.

No

You talk about the biology to “make a new person”, totally disregarding what the woman goes through.

Imagine all the millions to billions of sperm cells men waste by having them sit in their bodies unused or ejaculated via self, oral, hand, anal, vaginal (condom/birth control/vasectomy).

Women carry 99% of the weight. They are the ones to experience childbirth, having a weight grow inside of them for 9 months, risk of miscarriage and its mental tolls, mood swings, risk of being impregnated via rape / incest / sexual assault.

Pro Choice is up to the woman and her alone.

And yet, the baby is made both from dad and mom. 50/50.

I mean I saw a deeper dive into how the woman’s body responds to the sperm cells deposited by the male and the whole fetus couldn’t survive without the woman’s body keeping it safe.
I see it as the woman going through it more than the man, I’m a dude and it doesn’t take a lot to own up to it once you look at the science.

Here is the real problem: there are people who demonize pregnancy and child gestation. Naturally, this creates a counter-reaction, where others romanticize it. But both sides are wrong. Both are forms of sensationalism. One side belittles it, and the other fantasizes it.

Here is the biological reality: what we women do is carry the baby and gestate it. That is the objective truth. This is simply a reality check. I am not demonizing it, nor am I romanticizing it. I am just stating facts.

Suffering more or less has nothing to do with how reproduction actually works. Biology and justice do not care about feelings. The baby is created 50/50 by both the father and the mother. The role of the woman is to carry the child to terms.

Even while we sleep, the baby grows on its own. And if someone argues that the nutrients come from the mother, then where do those nutrients come from in the first place? From food that is typically provided by the husband, along with shelter, protection, and provision.

Well, yeah... no mother ever screamed "I did this to myself" in the birthing room.
