If Abortion were a procedure the MAN had to decide on - and to suffer [View all]

it would long have been declared "A Sacrament" a sacred rite, and one that exalts the one going through it.

If it were men that bled for 4-5 days a month without dying from it, they would have built themselves small menstruation castles to reside in for the duration with women ministering their every whims.
At the very least they would be staying in bed that week, languishing, having assured there is no deduction in pay, just glory and adulation.

If men were to bear the children,
were to raise them alone if their women deserted them, were to be discounted for it because of that....
great strides in assessment and equality of gender roles might be possible down the road.

I'm all for it.


Heck,
it's late, I'm generally po'ed at having to re-visit what my Mom went through......and tired of it,too
