> I’m male, single, childless, dumb as a stump

Then you're missing the personal experience to contribute meaningfully to this discussion.




Why? Do you think that women in my close family have never miscarried? Or that experience is the only contribution that matters? I may have flunked med, but at least I picked up enough to appreciate what a chaotic crapshoot animal biology really is. I also worked lambing seasons growing up, which is enough to disabuse anyone of all romantic notions regarding reproduction. Life is bloody and messy and awful, but it’s Life.

So now do you want to know why I initially posted? Because as soon as a discussion about women was brought up, a bunch of men came in and made it about themselves. I may not have kids but at least I have empathy and a working theory of mind, along with occasional manners. Congrats.
