It's pretty remarkable how insignificant the male contribution to birth actually is. Jim Gaffigan covered this pretty well in his standup special. But really, aside from the initial part (sex), here's a list of things the male participant doesn't do: - Grow a fetus inside their body.
- Grow an additional organ (placenta) inside their body.
- Figure out how to use an organ they've never used before (uterus) to safely eject the fetus from their body.
- Feed a human with their body.
I knew I would be mostly on the sidelines for this, but honestly it's kind of embarrassing. #lifestyle |
