Why does it still hurt for women to have babies....?

[flobadob]

From an evolutionary viewpoint.

I agree waldo, childbirth is also a natural process in which the body is specifically designed to give birth. testicles are not designed to be kicked

[sara3]

excuse me Cazzz.. childbirth is excruciating!

[Halifaxmum]

because God is a man. Simples.

didnt cost me a thought

[cazzz1975]

its painful yes but bearable in my opinion.

and a natural process

[sara3]

it was only bearable because I knew it was going to stop.. it just took a bloody long time to get there!

[cazzz1975]

women are strong sara, just look at how a head cold can floor a bloke

[sara3]

true.. but my daughter was 9lbs 7oz, forceps delivery after 38 hours labour.

I only did it again because I didn't want an only child.

a kick in the nuts, twice, would have been my choice ;o)

I'm intrigued by the implication in Waldo's post that anyone would solicit a kick in the testicles the first time...

Some interesting statistics about childbirth pain here:

In evolutionary terms, humans have been around for a mere blink of the eye. Our chimp and gorilla couzies have much smaller babies. Maybe this is the penalty we (the women) have to pay for walking upright.

@jno "I'm intrigued by the implication in Waldo's post that anyone would solicit a kick in the testicles the first time... "

So am I; I've re-read it several times and I still can't see any such implication...

It isn't. It's a con women perpetrate to make men feel guilty.

Dives for cover!
