It's unfair for women to get pregnant. Boys should be able to too.

<p>I'm a girl, and I never want to be pregnant. Avoiding pregnancy has been like my goal and mission of life since like ever(successful so far). Spending 8-10 months of my life LOOKING FAT, staying home, and worrying about what I need to eat seems like such a waste of time. I want a career one day, like a freaking amazing one too, and taking "a maternity leave" all sudden in the middle of my snazzy career? Come on, it seems like such a hindrance to my work. But I was thinking, I still want kids. Why? Babies are sooo cute. I guess I could adopt one, but what if I want the baby to look like ME? So then I thought... WHY CAN'T MY HUSBAND get pregnant instead of me? If we both want a baby and we are both going to assume equal responsibility over this kid, why should I be the one staying home and suffering the pain while he can still go out looking good as ever?</p>

<p>I'm on a roll tonight on CC. I had a ****ty thanksgiving, and I keep coming up with strange questions to write out on online community where no one knows who I am so I don't have to be embarassed. Oh, I figured it can't be worse than one of those "Do Eastern European Jewish girls like South African boys?????"</p>

<p>God is the one to blame.</p>

<p>yeah but if you dont have a baby your life sucks</p>

<p>so..my life sucks....</p>

<p>10 months?!?!</p>

<p>^^Full term is 40 weeks. So if you say there are 4 weeks/month, that would be 10 months.</p>

<p>It's what you deserve. Why did Eve have to commit such a sin??</p>

<p>Yeah, and because of Adam, men were sentenced to the task of work. Now, thanks to feminism, women get to do the work, too! (Thanks for helping us out, by the way.)</p>

<p>It appears that a long-term solution would be a way to develop(e) all sexual organs in all humans from birth. It seems plausible enough to be cheap - given that there are penized XX persons and vagined XY persons, and XXY (Klinefelter's Syndrome) persons are only usually penized.</p>

<p>Here is a simple short-term solution: adopt a person, or engage a surrogate.</p>

<p>EDIT: @#8: Men were never categorically sentenced to work. That is cultural, and there is no widespread modern need to tolerate any such expectations or rules. Further, small-scale tolerance is rarely required, as one easily resist and demolish familial traditions that emphasize sex over person. Sex stereotypes, like many other stereotypes, are, at least in part, simple manifestations of moblings' use of norms to avoid the labours of thinking and individual investigation.</p>

<p>Benazir Bhutto had three children while she was the leader of Pakistan (not the easiest job!). One of my parents good friends is a Court of Appeal Judge in our home province - and she has three as well. </p>

<p>Obviously not everyone can do that - you need an incredible amount of support from family and friends. I just don't buy into the idea that kids have to turn women into dull homebodies.</p>

<p>When the boat sinks, we're staying on board. Consider it even.</p>

<p>I think its unfair, too, but its biology. It wasn't made to be fair.</p>
