No, I'm sorry, but this does make me a bit annoyed. Any man who says it's not a big deal is an idiot, but any woman who says a man couldn't handle it is an idiot. It might be nice for women's egos to talk about how incredibly painful it is and how men would... (well, I don't know what they're supposed to do with the pain, catch fire?) but anyway, how men would not be able to handle it, but there are two points to make here. One: We don't know how well men could handle it because men don't give birth. Two: A lot of women don't seem able to handle it either, depending on how you define "handling it". Surgery, anaesthetic, screaming in pain for a very long time, none of those really seem like "handling it" too well to me. (Obviously sometimes surgery is required for other reasons.) Surviving something =! 'handling something' although I'm still not sure what you mean by that.
I don't like being told that I'm unable to be as competent at something simply because of my gender anymore than women like being told the same.
