115. If men were the ones getting pregnant

Edited on Tue Nov-10-09 10:06 AM by JonQ

then it seems likely women would be the ones getting drafted and killed in large numbers, performing societies most dangerous and physically strenuous jobs and generally dying younger and in worse health. Also they would be expected to be the primary bread winner, and be obligated to pay child support even on children they didn't want, which they would still lose the majority of times in divorces. Oh and of course the decision to have a child would be completely out of their hands. 100% of the financial burden once the courts get involved, 0% of the choice.

Hurray!
