No offense, but you keep dragging society into this. This is a biology discussion... or at least, it's how it started out. I didn't say there were not difficulties with childbearing, that you could potentially die... all kinds of things could go wrong an do.
FEMALES are designed and built to have babies, whether we intellectually 'know how' to do it or not. We are built to produce milk. All kinds of physical things go on with us during pregnancy/child birth/rearing. Based on instinct, we figure it out.
No body teaches animals how to have their young.
Men are not equipped/built to have children. Their bodies do not produce milk. If a female animal dies in the birthing process, it is likely the offspring will as well, for the male cannot care for the young by himself. Biology.
K? I'm not talking about who has the capacity to love a child more, if I have the money to pay for in vetro... animals in the wild do not do this.
No, I'm not disagreeing that females are designed to have children. I'm disagreeing that the fact that we carry and birth them gives us a different concept of love, or connection, or, loyalty, or honor. As for the instinct, that'll only take you so far in higher primates. A girl who knew nothing about babies, left alone on an island might kill herself, or the kid, giving birth, or at any time later on. She might just not know what to do. Our brains sacrificed much of 'instinct' for those frontal lobes.
