What makes women volunteer for childbirth?

It is true, the pain can be really awful at times, but when it's over its truly forgotten and really difficult to actually explain.

And you have a lovely Baby, all going well.

I don't have children. I grew up being told by my Mam from a young age that having children was the ruination of her life and warning me never to do it. I guess it stuck.

Child birth is fine. It can be tiring and takes a huge amount of physical exertion but the rush of oxytocin after the baby deliveries is better than any drug I've ever experienced. I mean marathon running is exhausting too and at the end all you get is a mass produced medal.

Unprotected sex is just too damn good for most lads to turn down.

Women get very well rewarded financially from welfare & all but guarantees them a foreva home from the council.

But I do think there’s too many people on the planet, just look what a few full Croke Parks worth of Immigrant’s have done to this country.

Schools full, public transport full, Healthcare full, Creches full, housing forget about it!

And everyone is blaming these systems for not being able to cope!

They said it was the immigrits but I knew it was the bears all along.

Immigrants are not responsible for governments failing to provide adequate infrastructure

Take the immigrants out of our public transport and health systems and they'd be fûcked entirely.

You need to think about it

Lets say you increased your household by another 10 people.

The infrastructure & resources you have in that house won’t be able to cope will it.

And do you think your family will say oh we never provided more beds, car parking space and toilets?

No they’ll tell you stop bringing people in.

No matter how much the world these days is trying to re-define men and women, they can’t re-define nature.

its the one thing the world can never take from a woman or give to man, unlike t*ts , vaginas, penises and identity.

I imagine it’s a primal unconscious trigger or need that appears, but being a man myself I wouldn’t really know.

Not sure I really get it either. Of all the reasons that I had for wanting to start a family and have kids - thoughts of my genes figured nowhere on the list. Nor on the list of anyone I have ever spoken to on the topic.

I somewhat suspect that as thought out as my reasons actually were - millions of years of evolution meant my genes were influencing my decisions and ideas. But their influence was subtle if so and I can not say I noticed it.
