For women, making a baby requires nine months of being a moody, enormous host with a plethora of new expectations and limitations. Not to mention possible health fluctuations and then nine hours of agonizing pain. Men spend seven seconds of fun and that’s about the end of everything they have to do until the kid arrives. You claiming it to be sexism that men get no say is the equivalent of me saying it’s sexism only women have babies and have to put forth the real effort in making them. If I plant a whole field of corn crawling on my hands and knees for months, watering it and laboring in the scorching heat, day in and day out, and that field is in my body no less, the guy that handed me the bag of seeds before I did it does not get to make the decisions about what happens with the field. Now when the corn arrives and we start husking, and cleaning, and storing, if you’re helping me get through all that, you suddenly have rights. In the meantime, I’m deciding things.
