Babies Come Through an Unaesthetic Location

I do not know why the Creator unaesthetically put the baby door in this particular location—between the bladder and the rectum. It has necessitated a very unladylike but definitely mother-like position known as squatting to perform the act of giving birth. Whether we like it or not, the act of emptying the baby box is mechanically identical to emptying the rectum. As a man I will never know what it actually feels like having a baby. Being very interested in subjectively preparing mothers-to-be so they will know in advance what it feels like, I have asked this question, by questionnaire and verbally, of thousands of experienced natural-childbirth mothers, whose clear minds, unclouded by medication, know perfectly well what it feels like. I have always received the same answer: "It feels like having a big bowel movement."
