If all things were the same, but it was men who fell pregnant and gave birth, abortion clinics would be so standard they’d be on every corner, like McDonald’s. In fact, it’d be a sign of status to go to one.

Male 1: “I’m just off to the abortion clinic real quick.”

Male 2: “Oh nice, King. You’ve been busy.”

Male 1 leaves.

Male 3: “He’s so cool.”

    You’re joking but maybe that’s exactly the reason why men always had it easier in history. They didn’t have to spend 9 months × child suffering + menstrual cycle every month

      Of course there have been a few periods in history where men died in droves from wars.

      Not that war usually works at well for anyone

        That is actually incorrect. Woman comes from wifman (“man” at that time meaning “person”, so "female person), not from wombman.
