In year 2000 poll, percentage of pro-choice people was 49% among both men and women. In 2006 it was 51% for both. Since 1995 and until 2020, the difference never exceeded 8%, peaking at 20% in 2025 correlating with political polarisation, with year 2010 men responding more pro-choice than women respondents by 5% (47% vs. 42%)‡.

Partisan divide was always more influential than the gender one, with pro-choice stance being 47% less popular among republican women than among democratic women; 42% gap for R/D men in 2020–2021 poll‡. If cisgender men could give birth, it wouldn't have more influence on their abortion stance than overall political beliefs.

If males gave birth then it would be females that competed for access to us and became physically stronger than males. The only thing that would change is the name of the physically and politically powerful gender.

It wouldn't make society better. Hyenas have bigger stronger dominant females and they have no utopia. Seahorse males give birth, they are the more maternal, females cheat on them.

Only fundamental difference between male and female is size and motility of sex cells. Only reason animals like us vary in size and strength is due to difference in offspring investment strategies.

No, but they (we) would be more careful about contraception.

If all things were the same, but it was men who fell pregnant and gave birth, all things would be different.

Is it a hostility to some essential concept of women, or a way to devalue reproduction caring and domestic labor? Which force is stronger, more original?

Most likely. Let's make it happen!

What is up with Lemmy, men and pregnancy??
Did I miss the new meta?

If men bore the children then women would have to do the sexual pursuing. The human race would quickly die out.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Clearly, we have to genetically modify all men to be hyenas, so that they can experience the Miracle of Life through their dicks. /S.

This would be such an extreme warping of reality that it’s essentially impossible to make any assumptions about what it would entail like this. You know the joke about a time traveller moving a rock? Yeah, that times a million.

All this post proves is that people have no fucking clue what abortion entails

If men gave birth they would be called women

Did you know grey hyenas have a matriarchal society? Females are more aggressive, dominant and hold different social status to males. They aren't less horrible than patriarchal hyenas.

The problem isn't the males or the females. It's that they're hyenas.

No, there wouldn't be.

The policy would be the same, because the issue of abortion makes the two ruling parties way too much money to make it worth legalizing or banning completely. Hell, when the leak of the Roe repeal occurred, Democrats raked in $80,000,000 alone. A cool $80,000,000 and all they had to do was pretend to care about abortion by making a tweet or something.

OP is incorrect.

If men could give birth everyone would tell them to man the fuck up and deal with it.

You never see legislation on condoms.

Just birth control.

When it's a man's choice it's uncontested.

But a woman shouldn't have the same autonomy.
