If the roles of life were reversed...

Hello there! I know what you were thinking...I know that I didn't post over the last 24 hours. I just want to let you know that it will happen again. By telling you, I now expect you to suck it up and deal. :)

I have often wondered what it would be like if males of each species took on the feminine responsibilities, and the females would take on the masculine ones. It would be a crazy world that would sound a little like this:

-Male lions would do the hunting, and the women would stay home with the kids (weird)
-Quinnipiac University would be 61 % male and 39% female
-Barbie would be renamed Barbo, and Ken would be Kenna(both still eunich-like)
-Women would open doors for men (That would be so smooth! I'm not saying I don't like being chivalrous, but I would love getting the princes-cough cough... prince treatment)

-Finally the switch you have been waiting to read about: Pregnancy
I have always joked around about how cool it would be if men could become pregnant. It would totally redefine a relationship if either person could get pregnant. "Oh, I'll carry this one for you honey!" I could say. Either way, we would just be following in the footsteps of seahorses. Male Seahorses give birth to the children after fertilizing the eggs(eww). They give new meaning to the movie "Mr. Mom" with the Governator.
I only have a few problems with human men giving birth:
  1. If morning sickness is anything like what I woke up to this morning after a long night of homework and lack of sleeping, then I say "No thanks" to that.
  2. I don't want to get fat. I would get back all the baby fat I worked so hard to work off. I had the biggest cheeks in the world(I have the trophy at home), and I haven't had my cheeks squeezed in a good 8 months, 3 days, 16 hours, 5 minutes, and 37 seconds. I'd like to keep it that way. (Traumatized)
  3. Paternity clothes would be sooooooooo lame. They would be mainly provided by Carhart, Levi's, Unionbay, Polo, IZOD, and Hanes. I can't find a nice shirt to fit well enough now, I can't even imagine what it would be like when my stomach blimps out to be the size of a watermelon.
  4. Breastfeeding= No-No. I like my boobs being muscular...
  5. Finally: Where does the baby come out? I will leave that up to your disgusting imagination to decide.

What role would you like to be reversed in today's world?
