DA: what's wrong with gawker? I honestly don't know!

Re: Jezebel does article on MPREG

They rely on really sensational and clickbaity articles for their pageviews (example: http://41.media.tumblr.com/267ff63a733865686814d16d54204b93/tumblr_nablmm4bwS1re1sgdo1_1280.png), which might not be a huge issue when it when it comes to Kotaku, but I'd rather visit a network that has a little more tact and nuace when dealing with feminism and social justice.

ayrt btw

Re: Jezebel does article on MPREG

[(Anonymous)]

lol what

i mean i don't even like mpreg but a case could just as easily be argued for it being a feminist, empowering thing, just as much as the opposite

this is not exactly an important issue, i mean, i would think things like domestic violence and reproductive rights might be more on the agenda but hey, this is jezebel we're talking about

I might come across as a weirdo for saying this but…I don't really find mpreg that weird.

Like…it's (theoretically) biologically possible. You don't need a uterus to carry a fetus to term (a woman had an extrauterine pregnancy and they simply did a C-section). The embryo could attach to, say, the omentum. It's not particularly safe (there's a high chance that something could go wrong) but it's not impossible either.

Same with hormones -- taking hormone injections or…hell…men can actually produce human chorionic gonadotropin (the hormone that's tested for by pregnancy tests) since men with testicular cancer produce it.

Then there's male lactation which is also possible and documented.

I don't know…I think it's a fascinating topic. But maybe I'm just a weirdo.

"You don't need a uterus to carry a fetus to term"

Really? That's kind of cool, and now I know exactly what I'm reading up on tonight.

It's dangerous not to have a uterus, but it's not necessary to carry a baby to term:

"On 19 April 2008 an English woman, Jayne Jones (age 37) who had an ectopic pregnancy attached to the omentum, the fatty covering of her large bowel, gave birth to her son Billy by a laparotomy at 28 weeks gestation. The surgery, the first of its kind to be performed in the UK, was successful, and both mother and baby survived."

Wikipedia's got more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ectopic_pregnancy

"High chance that something could go wrong" here meaning "the chance of something going wrong is nearing 100%". There've been four cases in recorded medical history of successful delivery of live babies developed outside of the womb, all in the past 15 years. The rest require intervention long before they could be considered even remotely viable because either the risk of hemorrhage is too great to continue the pregnancy, or the mother has already begun hemorrhaging when the diagnosis is made.

It may not be impossible for a cis man to carry a fetus to term in the absolute literal definition of the word, but from any reasonable scientific or medical standpoint, it's still an impossibility because so far the success rate of extrauterine pregnancies in human beings is a negligible fraction of a percent.

I didn't realize it was even a thing outside of fanfic but from what I've read of the article, it makes it seem like there's a whole subculture or something around it. Interesting.

Re: Jezebel does article on MPREG

Anything that involves men that also involves women is sexist.

Jezebel is so cute when they try to talk about fandom.
