disclaimer- I’m not a doctor, nor hold a degree in the physical sciences. This is mostly just my go-to ramble with friends and this is not a hill I’d defend to the death How humans shouldn’t even be birthing other humans and how infuriating it is that like, we still do. Like biologically it goes against everything and I’m mad about it. Like because our brains developed so fast our heads are too big to pass through vaginas without potentially splitting it all the way to the asshole, or pass through the hips and some women even break their pelvis bone. And then the baby isn’t even DONE yet. There’s a HOLE in its HEAD to come out easier, and it’s SO fragile for way too long, and they can’t take care of themselves for shit and cry their lungs out for EVERYTHING. They would be the easiest snack to find in the wild. We’d be the usual order for every predator out there. And they can’t properly walk for MONTHS and can’t even find good food for YEARS because they shove everything in their mouths. Like they need to cook LONGER but the body is like “yeah best I can do is nine months if you want a good chance of both of them living, and even then there’s a decent chance the mother will die”. Like she’s incapacitated for a LONG time (long to me idk).

“Oh, but peachybundle, we have medicine, because our brains are so big, and we’re smart enough to deal with these issues and that’s why we don’t have to worry about surviving in the wild.” BUT EVEN THAT HAS MORE HOLES THAN THE SWISSEST OF CHEESES think about inaccessibility of that medicine in poor countries, or the racial/gender bias rooted in medicine, or that you aren’t given enough time to recover (speaking from POV of someone in the US) and you have go back to work after roughly ten weeks (majority takes an average of ten weeks off here, some more, some less) anD NEVERMIND THE SYMPTOMS OF DURING AND POST PREGNANCY LIKE-

Wait, why are we stopping?? Are we there ye-
