If all things were the same, but it was men who fell pregnant and gave birth, abortion clinics would be so standard they’d be on every corner, like McDonald’s. In fact, it’d be a sign of status to go to one.
Male 1: “I’m just off to the abortion clinic real quick.”
Male 2: “Oh nice, King. You’ve been busy.”
Male 1 leaves.
Male 3: “He’s so cool.”
If men gave birth they would be called women
You’re joking but maybe that’s exactly the reason why men always had it easier in history. They didn’t have to spend 9 months × child suffering + menstrual cycle every month
Of course there have been a few periods in history where men died in droves from wars.
Not that war usually works at well for anyone
I’m not joking, it’s etymology.
That is actually incorrect. Woman comes from wifman (“man” at that time meaning “person”, so "female person), not from wombman.
A person with the ability to give birth would be female.
But a “female person” has a uterus so the etymology is wrong, but the argument stands.
eh, they could also be called sth else like “childmakingman” or sth
A childmaking man is a father or daddy
Then no one would have problems getting an abortion
Yes
Why
I was thinking this for a second, but the factor that makes this true is the near monopoly on violence that men have. So, theoretically as long as they still corner of the market on violence I think this would hold true in that theoretical society
