Okay great, but you =/= human species, which was my point. And even if it did, it’s still optional.
Square one, it’s good to be back.
I’m quite puzzled. If this is your true sentiment, why did you come into and post in a baby thread?
Did you even read what I responded to? I can only guess “no,” since you had to ask that question.
The portion you cited was in response to, what was essentially, a different conversation with a poster who wasn’t the OP. My first post did not contain that quote, as you would have realized had you read the remainder of the thread.

Also, your argument is fundamentally flawed, seeing as this isn’t purely a “baby” thread, as again, you would have realized had you read and comprehended the thread.
I posed a question, not an argument.
It was a fallacy, regardless of what you want to call it. A loaded question doesn’t excuse you of ignorance.
shrug I don’t see that is was a loaded question. YMMV. I will refrain from hijacking this thread further.
I once got kicked in the crotch by a chick who thought her man looked at me too much and it hurt a lot, even though she didn’t really connect where she meant to. The problem men have there is that their target area is bigger, not that it hurts more.
Ladies don’t have to worry about impotence but there are a lot of women who have problems reaching orgasm (in their own or with their partners). Some of this seems to be attributable to nerves, some to other physical problems, some to not having the foggiest idea what an orgasm really feels like (and to ObGyns who don’t know they should explain that orgasms don’t come with violins and rainbows).
Well, I don’t know about [i[your* orgasms… 
Someone once said that a punch to a womans boobs is about as painful as a kick in the nads
I couldn’t agree more. But someone has to do it.
I’d say that was the defintion of self involved.
Say ‘stone’ in a Scottish accent.
Also, I don’t know if a thump on the breasts would be as painful as a kick in the crotch to men unless they’re feeling particularly sensitive (period etc.) but a kick to the female bits would be quite painful I imagine.
Also, lavenderviolet, thank you for adding to that list for me!
Fine, I’m “self-involved.” Big whoop. I find it less selfish than, what essentially amounts to mandatory procreation, just to ensure the survival of our race, which is inconsequential to both the universe, and myself .
The more I think about it, the happier I am that I’m an outie and not an innie. My wife just got through a period that was more horrendous than usual because her previous months visit wasn’t effective and there were “leftovers”. Her underwear looked like the prom scene from Carrie, she had cramps that doubled her over and mood swings that were so extreme that I was sure an additional 20 personalities had surfaced.
I’ve also seen her suffer through the heartbreak of infertility and miscarriages in a way that I will never be able to understand completely. To want a child so desperately that you willing subject yourself to hormone injections only to repeatedly have the child die within you must be horrible. I hurt terribly at the desire and the loss, but to know that the child you wanted so much has died inside of you{/U] is incomprehensible.
I’d rather be kicked in the crotch every day than have to go through that kind of pain.
There is no mandatory procreation. Slap a condom on that thing. No problem.
But I’d rather some fokes decided to procreate. As I’ve already said, while there may be to many of us, we’re interesting and I want us to stick around.
Thanks for the Kudo’s OP.
But really, I haven’t even figured out how men are able to walk upright.
There’s something to be said for our stuff to be tidily put away.
(In my minds eye, I see guys trying to walk upright and about every other step fall to the ground in excruciating pain)
19 months ago I was in labor, thanks to the miracles of modern science, I really didn’t suffer much except for the few minutes between the staydol and epidural kicking in. There is a lot of validity to the idea that it is pain for a purpose and the kid is going to come out eventually.
Then you get to mentally go nuts wondering if they will ever walk/talk/roll over/drink and drive etc…
