I am sure you are joking in your post. But don't you think you are a little out numbered her to be telling women that labor is just some "racket" us women use to get our men to do something for us.
You trying pushing a bowling ball out of a very small hole and see how you feel.
There would be far fewer humans on this earth if men could get pregnant.
Two women, standing waiting for a bus, were discussing the worst pains in the world. Their conversation was monitored by a Scot, who just listened. After a time, the two women came to the agreement that the worst pain in the world was the pain of labor and birth. The Scot looked at them, took his pipe from his mouth and said "Aye, and have ya ever mashed a noot?"
As a single woman, who recently dated a man that claimed that he was single, but that I found out was still married (phone call from wife!!!!), yes I have "mashed a noot".
OK, Caroladybelle. Having a tough time stopping the laughter. He deserved the "mashed noot." Sorry about the married jerk, though. We're not all like that.
A couple went to the hospital together to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had a revolutionary new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it.
The doctor set the knob to 10 percent for starters, explaining that even 10 percent was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. But as the labor progressed, the husband seemed to be feeling fine, so he asked the doctor to go ahead and bump it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20 percent pain transfer.
The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and pulse and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this, they decided to try for 50 percent. This, still, did not seem to have any negative effect on him.
Since it was obviously helping out his wife considerably, he encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL of the pain to him. His wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. She was even allowed to leave the hospital the very same day!
Later that afternoon, when they got home, they found their next door neighbor dead on their front porch.
