Every man and woman (that isn't in denial) has seen it -- women always saying "yeah but we have the power to create life" -- be it on Yahoo Answers, on talk shows, at feminist rallies, or on the street or anywhere.
Are women not aware that men are 50% of the reason why all human life exists? Women carry the baby in their stomach for 9 months, but men are equally responsible for creating that child.
Why do women always downplay a man's role in creating life? You can't argue with genetics. Why do some women claim men "envy" women's ability to give birth? And more ignorantly, their ability to "give life?" Do they not realize that men are relieved that they don't have to go through childbirth, and deal with the pain, the eating habits, the post-partum depression, the mood swings, the gaseous farts and bowel movements, the defecating on the operating table, the post-partum depression and weight-gain that follows, and various other biological hardships?

Yes, men respect women for having to go through those "hardships" of going through labor, but don't think for a second that men would WANT to trade places and go through labor. We're glad we don't! Men aren't supposed to go through labor, so stop asking us to "see what it feels like." It's biologically impossible! God (or Biology, depending what your "faith" is), created men and women differently. So women, stop throwing the "labor" issue at us because we won't be going through labor and don't want to either. That's like a fish asking a bird to swim, and a bird asking a fish to fly.

I always thought that was a stupid thing to say. We couldn't "give life" if it wasn't for men. I agree with pretty much everything you've stated. I know no men who are envious of women because they don't get the joy of waddling around pregnant for nine months and the pleasure of squeezing the kid out. I've never heard my husband or any other man express jealousy that I get to have a monthly menstrual period and they don't. For the people who are criticizing you for your comments I don't think that's fair. When a woman vents her feelings about men everyone's too afraid to respond because they may be called "sexist". Good for you. I'm a woman and I get tired of women complaining about men all the time.

Yes I admit it - right after our son was born and I didn't have any clothes that fit me because obviously I just had a baby, My husband told me that if I just waited a couple weeks my weight would go down, which it did but at the time I felt ugly and wanted to be cute and feel good about myself not to mention I was a worrying hormonal mess! So there it was I said it " I just gave birth to your son!!!" and he replied " Honey your beautiful already but if you really need a new outfit go get it", and I did. There is such thing as compassion for each other in a loving relationship and forgiveness even with the dumbest of comments! You will be remembered as a great husband from years to come if you just let the little things slide at these moments!

I have never heard one women say that bull sh*t, not even on tv, quit b*tching about nothing. tanks, the only studies that can prove anything are the scientific ones. Science shows that men can only focus on one thing at a time, but women on multiple, thus women who actually care are way smarter.And the studies you're talking about are just from iq tests. some studies have tried to show that men are better at math and science, but they failed because if that were scientifically true then all women would have lower test scores and a women wouldn't have the highest iq ever recorded, Marilyn vos savant.

You sort of answered your own question. Women who use such arguements are misandrists. Don't hang out with them, simple. I can't stand misogynists, yet all my friends are men. This is because I understand that all people, men and women, are individuals. If an individual does or says something to hurt me that does not mean all members of that gender/race/group want to hurt me.

I think you are in error. I have NEVER seen a feminist pull the we create life card. What I have seen is that feminists pull the We have the choice to destroy life. Most feminists that I have been around do not want to have children and would rather abort the children that they bring into the world.
In my experience FAMILY is not something that a feminist wants to pursue.

Because they've constructed an elaborate fantasy world where men destroy all life and women create all life. It gives them the warm fuzzies while simultaneously protecting them from the fact that women are equally as violent and destructive as men, while men have an equal part in creating all life that exists.
Misandrists only care about a man's claim to a baby inasmuch as they can plunder his wallet (child support). But when it comes to a man who wants to raise and parent his child, then it's right back to "women are natural caregivers!" In short, they want to have their cake and eat it too.

I've rarely seen this card played. I've seen it, but I consider it rare enough to be negligible. What is not negligible is the average woman's superior capability to care for very young children, but it's still no excuse for other bad behaviors of the average woman.

Actually its men who seem to conveniently forget that they helped create that baby. Nuff said.

You are a very sick man and i hope that whatever happened to you in your life that you can find some professional help to deal with it. You are bitter and vindictive.
