I find the notion of giving men the act that Nature assigned to women, bizarre. It's punishing, it seems to me, and therefore boring and pointless. Who the hell can learn anything?
I've never once found an Mpreg interesting. Not in fiction, not in film. Create an alien species that has their males getting pregnant is essentially making their males female. Females get pregnant, males impregnate. Crossing them up is... twisted. I have no idea *why* the idea bugs the shit out of me, but it does. It's perverting nature.
OTOH, doing this in "real life" doesn't bother me quite so much. Our science is currently trying to make it so that transgendered gay men can have transplanted uteruses. In this way, adoption and/or surrogates will no longer be required for them to have children. While I can appreciate the desire to create their own family without interference, I worry that nature will fuck it up for them. As I said, females are the ones who get pregnant. And btw, anyone who brings up male seahorses and the like, should remember that those males *share* the pregnancy. They are not responsible for *conceiving.*
But this is just my opinion. Doesn't mean I'd restrict someone's right to write such a piece. --- Now why do I keep saying this in a lot of my posts? Because there have been completely *stupid* responses to my opinion. As if my saying that I don't like something equates to my saying it shouldn't exist or be possible. And you know, WTF? So to keep the morons at bay, I have to add that stupid-assed disclaimer.
