Men have always claimed that getting kicked in the testicles is a worse pain than childbirth,
to which women graciously smile, good joke darling… but what if they could actually
know for sure?
And beyond that…what would that even mean?
Hello and welcome back to Life’s Biggest Questions – the channel that looks to answer
a whole host of insane questions I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today I am asking
What If Men Could Get Pregnant?
Before we get into this video I want to ask you guys – men and women – if you ever
want to have a baby?
What would you name it?
Perhaps you already have one!
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
Just hit one million – thank you.
For the entire 200 thousand years, women have been birthing children.
Men and women have intercourse, during which men fertilize females eggs with their sperm.
It has been that way since the dawn of time!
Every social interaction – the way we have developed as a society has been totally engrained
in our natural roles as two different genders.
The ability to have a baby is basically the defining feature between the two genders.
If that was no longer there – then the way in which we have evolved would be very different.
For the purpose of this video, we are going to be talking about what would happen if suddenly
men started having babies – which is hard enough to get your head around but it is slightly
easier than re-writing all of history!
OKAY let’s start small.
If Men could have babies then baby showers would be whole different vibes.
Who needs champagne and cupcakes?
Not to stereotype or anything but hello keggers and hot dogs – although no beer for baby
dady….
He’s bloated enough!
If men could have babies… would this mean they could also breast feed because, again
not to generalize, but I know a few that would be pretty excited to have boobs….although
maybe their fascination for boobs would drop as a whole.
Maybe men’s fascination and objectification of female bodies would be different?
Maybe there would be less articles on rags like the daily mail speculating on how women
are snapping back into their pre baby figures – or maybe this speculation would extend
as far as men too.
Before we truly open that can of worms lets open another….
If men could get pregnant then it would mean a whole new set of HORMONES for them.
Women’s menstrual cycle is controlled by estrogen and progesterone.
If men started showing rises in Estrogen, they are likely to feel far more emotional
than they usually do.
They would perhaps understand a little more what it feels like to be inside a female mindset.
Perhaps this means they have a better understanding of female behaviour and would treat them accordingly.
If men could get pregnant then it would like mean better paternity and maternity leave
for men and women.
Currently the amount of time a man is legally able to take off work and be paid for it to
connect with his child is outrageously small.
And on the flip side, statutory maternity pay isn’t much better for women – perhaps
if we could all feel the joys and burdens of child birth equally, the whole playing
field would level up.
Perhaps our expectations as to who would be more active in the child’s upbringing would
change too – babies rely on their mothers because they feed – If men and women could
birth and feed children freely then maybe the roles we expect males and females to play
traditionally would change.
Which leads me to say…. if men could get pregnant then it would be a game changer for
big business.
Currently a lot of women are held back if they choose to have children.
Taking 9 months to a year off every time they have a child, then feeling the burden of fulfilling
child care, can really damage a females standing in the work place.
This setback is often one of the many reasons behind the pay gap.
Perhaps if men could get pregnant too then there wouldn’t be a pay gap.
If men could get pregnant then at least more people who would actually be affected by the
laws being passed about abortion would be in the room.
I imagine men’s opinions on abortion would change if they could get pregnant themselves….at
the very least, I imagine birth control would be universally free.
Perhaps children would have a deeper connection to their parents if they both could have children
and perhaps there would be more of a universally accepted tolerance for same sex relationships
if it didn’t matter whether a man or woman could get you pregnant….although that is
assuming anyone could….
Would conceiving still even be a thing that was between a man and a woman?
If so would men getting pregnant mean that women couldn’t any longer?
If so would it mean a role shift?
Argh.
If men could get pregnant – like… how?
How could they get pregnant ? Women have the eggs…would it be a weird sexual egg giving
exchange…and like…where would the fertilized egg go?
Back up the shaft?
Where would they even birth the child from?
Where would it come out?
What would that even look like…
I guess that is probably enough questioning for one day, right?
But hey , at least they could finally answer what is more painful.
Getting kicked in the balls or birthing a child.
Thank you again for one million.
Replying to comments from Will Article 13 Destroy Youtube?
Loads of you congratsing on a million!
Bible Flock Box Said: I live in Poland.
I am concerned about Article 13.
– yeah you should be.
Interesting comment from Jacque Cortez - A lot of people on youtube are making money
off of intellectual properties they don't own on YouTube such as (lets plays, react
trailers, game reviews, movie review, regurgitated news, using copyrighted artwork such as sonic,
Mario, mickey mouse any copyrighted cartoon character or game character or movie character,
also top tens.
) It has gotten out of hand.
People should put more effort in their own creations instead taking things that are not
theirs.
In some way I kind of get what you are saying – but people are more worried about wat
it will mean for fair use….also people kind of enjoy movie reviews, reactions and game
reviews….
They get a lot of views and engagement – what should we do about those?
