Some of us have a tendency to give opinions on anything and everything even if we have close to no knowledge about the topic we are talking about.
This is also true in the case of men who think they can talk about a woman’s body, her biological cycle, childbirth, and the trauma and pain associated with it.
Apart from the many baseless discussions I have had with people talking about a woman’s period, some of whom ended up mansplaining me how women overreact to it, this man informing a woman (a mom) that childbirth isn’t as painful as feminists hype about proves testimony to that.
Taking to Twitter, a journalist Rituparna Chatterjee shared a screengrab of an article titled ‘No, giving birth to babies is not as painful as feminists tell you’ that was sent to her, a woman who has already given birth, by a man who never has and never will go through it himself.
Not to ignore, the article is also written by a man.
HAHAHAHAHAHA This is a hilarious. Man is sending me — someone who has given birth — link telling me child birth is "not as painful as feminists tell you". I've heard a lot of mansplains but this one takes the cake. pic.twitter.com/K2wav67Xsy

This is not only hilarious but stupid on the part of the person questioning the procedure that has come across as life-threatening, traumatizing, and mentally and physically taxing to women.
This is how people online reacted to this bizarre and fundamentally flawed incident.
@borkarsachin97 I suggest you can undergo sex change therapy and try giving birth….what better way to prove it hypothesis than experiencing yourself and sharing your experience?

Someone once told me….. Tere Naak se Nariyal nikaalenge toh jitna pain hoga, us se jyada Labour pain hota hai…. 👍🙏
Labour pain is a 10 on the Scale that measures Pain in general.
But men will be men…har cheez mai gyaan jo dena hain 😅😢😡https://t.co/iQrwrcgtgT.

This is so ridiculous. Induce the same amount of pain in him and all such men and let’s see their pain threshold 😡😡

I had a kidney stone once fifteen years back. My cousin’s wife, a doctor, grinned and said now you know what sort of pain women face during childbirth. Certainly gave me a practical insight into a level of pain that I only knew theoretically.

Men know everything.
Women? Come on!
We are just vassals and vessels.

Men with an opinion on something they have never experienced really need to shut the hell up. This is true of all men everywhere on this god-forsaken planet. https://t.co/OV6nXzvx35

This is an extension of the infamous "getting smacked in the balls is more painful than pregnancy" bit https://t.co/NXPykxj4wT— 🤟 (@Adwalt_) June 26, 2022
In dolorimetric pain scale of 0-10, zero is given for no pain and 10 for maximum pain a body can bear.
Heart attack and pancreatitis has intensity 7, Dysmenorrhoea (painful mensturation) has intensity 8 and labour pain has intensity 9. Its like live amputation of finger!! https://t.co/UZgicLiR3s

Wtf is that article.
Surely written by a lonely , miserable man who has never seen his wife/sister/relative going to labour https://t.co/jzoNX4Cizt— Bhomik Mathur (@mat_bhomik) June 25, 2022
Ofcourse the sachin's of this country have arrived to mansplain AHAHAHA. FYI Sachin would hospitalize himself for regular period cramps… If men had periods.
Sit down boy. https://t.co/x5FtymM3lH— Diandra Soares (@diandrasoares13) June 25, 2022
well well.. if not men then who?
the intellectual damage caused by the mansplaining is immense (: https://t.co/3MlQp5Wfm5— sanjana (@sanjanausd08) June 25, 2022
I had two normal deliveries without even an aspirin for pain relief. I'd like some men to experience a long, full blown labour. https://t.co/6BSml94F9o

…what? 🙄men with unshakeable confidence in their opinions no one asked for are a different breed altogether. https://t.co/oKWWjbCdlV

I am just amazed at what would really trigger a man to write about birth pain,let alone compare it to anything. What on earth is the feminist angle! https://t.co/nkBI6mWnql

Well, the debate around childbirth and abortion was initiated following the landmark verdict of the US Supreme Court against Roe vs Wade which gives states the power to ban abortion. Interestingly, 4 of the 5 Justices giving this ruling were men.

I once got another boyfriend to believe that birth control doesn't work if you have sex twice in one day because the pill can only hold back so much cum. He was 32.

Rachel from ‘FRIENDS’ said it way ahead of time what many women want to say here because maybe, she saw this coming!
