Why are there so many children being born when men appear more unreliable and childbirth so painful?

Do not underestimate the power of the human body. Equal to survival is the human need for reproduction. Quite strong. More-so than most average morale and logic. A person who disciplines their mind could overcome. But those who follow their bodily desire like kittens in a field, chasing each butterfly stimuli only to become distracted by the next create the dilemma you bring to our attention. It's not in everyone's life path to do such, for in my beliefs, no matter how unfortunate and saddening to human emotion, all things happen in a finely intricate web of cause and effect, all tying into the same destiny. The chaos that we see, is really misunderstood harmony of what lifes main destiny has in store for us. In a way we create it, but do to our circumstances, there could be no other way for it to be. Such a postulate being out of scope of human emotion, makes for an impossibility for one to feel the need of going throughout life feeling irresponsible for their actions. You're destined to choose but that choice was included in that main web of destiny. Choice and destiny being one and the same. Simply put, Learning to accept and not force our expectations onto others, could only make for the best of worlds, but due destiny has in store what due destiny has in store, which in a sense, is the greatest perfection.

Funny...it's the man's fault we had the kids in the first place.  Maybe men should be ranked lower...like under the wheels of a bus.

It's a primal thing.  Men see big boobs and wide hips and deep down inside their little minds they think "oooh I bet she could birth some children".  Of course, somewhere along the way this is just dumbed down to "Oooh boobs".  Men are simple dumb creatures like that.  It takes very little to make them happy and keep them that way.

I heard it was the other way around. In some places in China men outnumber women by quite a lot. The only men who get sex changes were most likely born feeling like women. I don't think the number of men or women have anything to do with why people get sex changes.

I think most of the time the ones looking negatively at these men are women who want to have children or already do have children so they are already biased in their opinion.  But these people also tend to think that women who do not want children are selfish or something along those lines.

High birth rates are a global problem.  It would be better if everyone limited themselves to one or two children.  That kind of global thinking won't happen, though, until education is valued by governments and all people are made aware of the world overpopulation crisis.

It has to do with the 'risky' behaviors of men.  The mortality rate of young men due to these behaviors is very high.  Later in life factors of health (eg. not going to the doc.) tend to be a leading cause of mortality.  A secondary cause has to do with mental health issues especially if a his wife dies.  Women tend to have more personal relationships than men.  When comparing men and women the numbers show the generalized version of what is going on.  The young men stats pull down the grouping some.

Mainly because it often hurts somehow, the first time, also because being young they are likely to choose a sex-dummie to get that "diamond".

there should be less and it keeps getting worst... don't they learn at school to f... use a condom and protect themselves??.. not only because of pregnancy but mostly because of aids and all that... there's so many small children that end up coming to this world infected because their mommy and daddy didn't take the time to protect each other... that pisses the hell out of me... \nparents should take responsability too... teach and talk to ur kids about it.. this can be provented!!

yes because we have to put up with men... okay that was harsh, but honestly, it is often because they have to put up with much more because we are often expected to take care of children and either go to school or complete an extra income, and many other responsiblities, that are not expected of men.

It is a lot easier for a guy to father children than it is for women to safely have children in their 40's.

There is a certain amount of every man that has a thing in his head about "carrying on the family line".  However, after the man has at least one child of his own, he is usually open to adopting more children.

At a time in American history, it was common that a minister would make "rounds" to small towns, sometimes taking months to get to all who need to be married. There was a practice called "Bundling". It was done because the distance between farms often was a full days ride so a young man come to court a young woman would be invited to stay the night. Since many homes were limited in size, and if a couple were "promised or engaged" they would sleep in the same bed but "bundled" in their own blankets. Now, history has shown that many a woman gave birth "prematurely" and it was shrugged off as an act of God.\n\nI like this story, it tells of the nature of human desire and need in the face of socially imposed morality. In other words, people will do what pleases them regardless of the protection or lack of protection because we as a species desire pleasure.\n\nI would hate to see this world without contraceptives. It is over populated enough and with religious stigmas plastered on something so simple as a way to stop an unwanted pregnancy, life is made just that much harder. No one but the person using or not using contraceptives should have a say in the process. \n\nThis "growing incidence" you speak of, it's nothing but a factor of freedom of speech. More people speak out on more things than ever in the history of human kind, this is an illusion of "growing incidence". Just like molestation, it was always there but people just didn't talk about it.

because men are so frustrating

Because we're living in a pro-feminism world where unfortunately governments, lawyers and judges have been thinking up so many ways to make women's lives better that they've forgotten about men! \nThey have introduced paternity leave but...I WONDER HOW MANY MEN WILL ACTUALLY GET IT?\n\nMen are second class citizens, which is why for every unemployed woman there are 3 unemployed men!
