    You would discuss childbirth as a job? Like not as a part of the lifecycle of a mammal, or the job of an obstetrician, but the actual process of giving birth is an activity for hire that is done for lucrative income?

      Childbirth is literally referred to as “going into labor”. Like, Idk how else you would describe it if not nine months of hard work?

        Sexual reproduction? Women are able to do things for themselves, are you telling me they get nothing out of being a mother? An activity that is difficult can exist without being called a job.

        Someone better inform the rest of the 120 60 billion mammals on the planet they better clock on and pick up their paycheck for their 9-5 jobs.

        Also, giving birth isn’t a re-ocurring activity one performs for their livelihood, it’s an event that someone goes through to achieve something, during a certain period of time under a week (ideally less than a day, but humans be bodying).

            ok, you explain what a job is and why giving birth specifically is a job.

            not “being a home maker”, not “obstetrician”, giving birth.
