If men gave birth, would elective c-section be considered ok?

And other birth/pregnancy/labour issues... Anyone want to discuss?

I'm heartened by the feminist responses on that thread, though. Maybe that's why it's relatively quiet over here?

It's a thread about a thread yes, but it is asking about a question looking for answers from a feminist perspective, I don't see the harm in that and that is no reason to not talk about it IMO.

There was a thread the other day with people explaining why they found the feminism topic the most scary ( sorry can't quite remember the exact word used). For me' this thread is exactly the reason why, it's bad form to write a thread about a thread and I have to say I find this particular one a bit nasty and very very patronising to people who made very valid comments on the other thread.....comments you may disagree with granted but valid none the less. It is so bloody annoying that people call themselves feminists and then go out of their way to be bitchy! And if you are interested I would be just against men having an ec for no other reason than just wanting one.

And paternity leave would be paid at double the wage-earner's rate and be for 5 years.

How else would they get it out?

I confess I was driven by that thread, rinabean!

Have you been reading this thread or is it just a case of mumsnet hivemind at work? :o

Oh god, some of the opinions on that thread are just amazing. The internalisation of misogyny displayed is utterly terrifying.

I'm wondering how else they would deliver?

Oh and they would probably find a cure for morning sickness aswell.

Lol it would be mandatory!
