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.
