Men could choose to get pregnant

rage writes "Check out the following link and especially one of the last paragraphs :
"Surgeons in Saudi Arabia attempted a womb transplant in a 26-year-old woman in April 2000, but it had to be removed after three months because it suffered from blood clots and began to die. If implantable wombs become a reality in humans, they need not be confined to women. Some men might also be keen. "It's technically possible," said Prof Brannstrom."

Of course the article is mainly focused on women, but it appears clearly that such techniques could give a man the ability to carry a child . We are all waiting for ectogenesis and artificial wombs, but despite the articles already posted here, I'm very skeptical that these breakthroughs could occur before, say, fifteen years. And I think artificial wombs would be outlawed as soon as they would appear to cater for the claims of feminist pressure groups, as usual.

But if a man were given the opportunity to give life to a child by himself, it would be the end of feminism. And it's pretty sure this wouldn't be made illegal. Women control 100% of human reproduction these days. And that's why feminism is so hard to tackle. Because men depend on women, whereas women depend far less on men thanks to sperm banks. But if we can make our sons without resorting to a woman (remember the article stating that male stem cells can make eggs ?), we could attack more harshly feminism and destroy this ideology once and for all.
