I always wondered how things would work if our biology was different. If men were the ones to carry the child, would they be the ones subjected to such discrimination?
Are women the ones who care for children because that's a woman thing, or is it because whoever gets pregnant would naturally become the caretaker? Do women have less muscle mass than men because theyre the ones who get pregnant or is it something else? If men were the ones who got pregnant, would they still have all that muscle, or is that antithetical to a successful pregnancy?
Stepping away from biology and thinking about society: Taking time away from school and work for a pregnancy is a huge setback. Does it matter if it's the man or woman doing it? Would men be overlooked for important high paying jobs because their employer thought they might decide to start a family?
What if we laid eggs? How would that have changed our society and values? Why did I once again overthink a meme?
Obviously big and strong
