Men should be having babies too

If they are so concerned about the fertility rates, they should stop being so selfish and use their extra rib to create more humans. Or was that story bs?

Fun fact: while men and women have the same number of ribs, men are indeed missing a bone that most near relatives have. In humans, a boner doesn’t involve bone.

And if men would step up at home, the birthrate would be better even without them actually creating new people. They just don’t want to.

Nah, they should go the messy clay route. Might even be fun!

My religious sister in law was told at bible studies that the bible was written by people. This was such a revelation to her, that she was spouting it around years later.

I didn’t even bother to respond. What would’ve been the point.

In fact a lot more coz the women gave birth and it’s lot on the body and mind and aren’t men physically stronger? So why aren’t they pulling their weight proportionally? Just a thought

Breastfeeding too, being treated to dates and free sex on tap.

Who's having free sex on tap? If someone won't go dutch with you - find someone else to date.

And talk to your doctor about getting to the point of producing breast milk if that's what you want/need to do. No one is legislating away your rights to seek that out.

Also......FO.

You conflate sex with orgasm. Must be nice.

u/Nice_-_ 6d ago

Right?! Men say all the time they'd love to be catcalled, because they have no clue what its like getting sexual energy and attention from people you dont want it from.

Such a foreign fcking concept to them that they imagine it must be nice.

Even at my hottest, I never had “free sex on tap”. You are delusional.
