If all things were the same, but it was men who fell pregnant and gave birth, abortion clinics would be so standard they’d be on every corner, like McDonald’s. In fact, it’d be a sign of status to go to one.

Male 1: “I’m just off to the abortion clinic real quick.”

Male 2: “Oh nice, King. You’ve been busy.”

Male 1 leaves.

Male 3: “He’s so cool.”

If men gave birth they would be called women

    You're joking but maybe that's exactly the reason why men always had it easier in history. They didn't have to spend 9 months × child suffering + menstrual cycle every month

    I'm not joking, it's etymology.

    That is actually incorrect. Woman comes from wifman ("man" at that time meaning "person", so "female person), not from wombman.

    I was thinking this for a second, but the factor that makes this true is the near monopoly on violence that men have. So, theoretically as long as they still corner of the market on violence I think this would hold true in that theoretical society
