Or just maybe, as a woman, I like reading about fantasy worlds where women don't automatically have to do the most dangerous, draining, extremely painful, and unpleasant part of reproduction?

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously, this.

Also, an anon up thread mentioned how women naturally empathize with female characters and, just like how men cringe when they see a male character get kicked in the balls, I cringe when I see women have to go through pregnancy. Because pregnancy is grotesque to me and a lot of other women.

SAAAAAME. And to address that jackass upthread, I really resent the implication of pregnancy and childbirth with "humiliation." I don't see it that way at all. It's absolutely badass. The suffering pregnant people endure? Intense. Grotesque. It's too badass for me, I in no way want to do it, I know I couldn't handle it even if I wanted to, which I don't (and thankfully am getting on past the age where I have to worry about it).

Honestly, even though I don't ship a lot of het pairings I'd like to see more het mpreg in magical/weird-science canons. Where even a m/f couple want to have a baby, and they decide the man should be the one to carry. Why not?

Then it should be grotesque for ANY human to be pregnant/give birth.

No pregnancy is always an option. But hey, better sexist than not at all, amiright?

[(Anonymous)]

This may come as a shock to you, but in most First World countries, women have the choice to have children or not. It's just as optional in fic.

Hell if you want "subversion", make an artificial womb, or an egg, or something really crazy. But nope, you want male!women, 'cause the real thing is just too darned icky.

[(Anonymous)]

No, I want male!men who get pregnant and give birth and ARE STILL MEN. It's fiction, so I can have that if I want. That's the great thing about fiction. If you can imagine it, it can exist in your story. You are not limited to the way things work in reality. That's part of the point of it.

Do you think getting pregnant and giving birth is what defines a woman? Do you think it's ~taking something away~ from women to write stories where men do it? Do you think having babies is degrading to men? Whose behalf are you getting offended on here? I can't even tell.
