Never been pregunant and pissed off for you too! Sweet Jesus....

My son went to a therapist once to see if he had ADHD, and the guy asked me about my marriage. I told him we have been together 40 years, and that there is no more grab-assing in the kitchen, but we don’t argue and we’re a unit when it comes to child raising. He looked over the top of his specs and said, “You know,…

Not only that, but it is actually life-threatening for mother and child to risk a woman taking on that way of thinking, that she wants to tough out a home birth no matter what. There was a reason everyone changed to hospital deliveries back in the day.

I’m amazed that you’re even still considering vaginal birth.

And, no painkillers if they throw their backs out, because it really wasn’t mowing the lawn if you don’t feel it for a week. Shitheads.

Used to work with a guy, a successful lawyer, but he was part of some weird religion that apparently expects you to have as many kids as humanly possible and to home school all of them. His wife had this condition where she could never carry a baby full term so every time she got pregnant, which was often, she had to…

Well, it’s nice they’ve found each other.

OMG major props to you for not punching these men in the face.

So you have a “fake” labor. And a baby comes out nonetheless. I don’t think the baby gives a fuck whether your labor is “real” or not. It’s coming out either way...

It took me a minute to stop laughing. It’s not enough that you took a teeeeeny tiny sac of cells and grew it into a person? A little person that is now chilling in your body next to your bladder and intestines and they’re rolling around and stretching and kicking things. Now the goal posts have been moved to you have…

It being a work function is even worse, if possible. You work at a place where male coworkers feel free to explain to their female colleagues the proper way to go through a delivery?

ZOMG. I second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth all the commenters who are basically saying these assholes don’t get to say shit to you until they push and 8-lb human through a 4-inch hole between their dicks and their assholes...after 40 weeks of what you’ve been going through. How do these fucksticks not get that…

Was it your ob/gyn? Because if it was, I’d get a new one. Mankind invented labor drugs and fancy birthing suites in hospitals and Lamaze classes and a whole field of medicine devoted to pregnancy because labor is fucking hard. So pregnant you get whatever you want! Best of luck!

Whether or not the value of the word mansplaining has been diminished over time thanks to overuse, if what you’ve described isn’t mansplaining then nothing is. You’re in the clear, Doc.

I’m so sorry that your pregnancy has been so awful. I hope your c-section is complication free and your baby is healthy.

Men, plural? Who?

If the dude can shoot a garden gnome sized butt plug up ass with little to no prior experience then such a statement is valid. Before that occurs nope.

Fuck that guy. Seriously. There’s a reason it’s called labor and not dessert or happy times or carefree child removal time. Labor is HARD and can be painful and dangerous. And you still can feel quite a lot with an epidural.

One of the reasons I will always be kinda mad at Steven Moffat is that Coupling episode where a bunch of men explain pregnancy and childbirth at women, who are obviously idiots who don’t know what’s good for them. I mean, Coupling has a lot of issues with gender because all episodes are essentially men are like *this*…

Holy fuck what bullshit. Speaking of never “really experiencing labor” guy without a uterus...
