She spent 9 months being pregnant with my daughter and suffered through labor, that’s more than a fair trade.



You spent those 9 months presumably working and taking care of her. That's more than a fair trade.


It is a common understanding throughout the history that women think it is not a fair trade, it is also the case that many men seem to think the women have it harder in the pregnancy period as easy as they may or may not be accused of having it otherwise. Therefore I think you need to add more of an argument for why it should be a fair trade, probably difficult given that when you are taken care of someone (unless in the Pulp Fiction manner) you are doing so because they have it significantly worse than you do.


what? whos worse? its 2 people busy with different things. thats why its a fair trade. its teamwork.


It's hard to imagine someone saying this if they've ever taken care of a pregnant woman all the way to term. Yes, it's teamwork, but the man gets the better end of the deal and it's not even close.


My wife bore us 7 children, but I still totally disagree with your argument.


What do you disagree with exactly?
