There seems to be a trend lately that both the woman and a man in a couple will say "we're pregnant" when referring to the pregnancy. I suppose this is the way of sharing responsibility for the pregnancy, but it sounds ridiculous to me, and degrading to both partners. Every time I hear a guy say this I want to yell at him..."you're a man, not a seahorse! You will never be pregnant!!!" Don't get me wrong, I'm the kind of dad who does dishes, changes diapers, and feel that all other aspects of parenting are a shared responsibility, but I will never actually carry a baby due to not having a uterus. I feel this statement actually lessens the importance of the woman's unique, important, and difficult role of carrying a baby. I spent countless hours rubbing her feet, but never took credit for carrying our son.
