To wonder if men giving birth could actually end the motherhood penalty

Obv we're talking a fair few years from now.

My prediction is that, despite all the talk about male privilege, a lot of women wouldn't actually want to be the main breadwinner. However, it would certainly create more choice in terms of shared parenting.

The thing is, with surrogacy, if this is what the thread is about, there is not the same impact on the mother/ father as with a woman giving birth biologically.
See Tan France having a kid and then going to a premiere later that week. He hadn't pushed something watermelon sized out of his vag. He hasn't tried to attach a tiny screaming blind thing to an engorged sore nipple over and over again whilst strangers watched and advised.
He hadn't suffered a deluge of blood, double incontenance, huge hormonal tides, epidural side effects, milk not coming through, sleep deprivation or psychosis.

So maybe men really can have it all.
