World Population imbalance between the sexes

Oh, and I bet my wife had it pretty bad as well.

With my first son, this was the point in the relationship where I decided whatever she wanted, she deserved. My part of the process was very pleasurable. She did all the hard parts.

I didn't find it all that gross, but I had been prepared by many years of practicing veterinary sciences* (assistant to a large animal vet), and taxidermy. I actually enjoy performing surgery and fixing the broken parts of animals. Were it not such an unrewarding field, I would have been a vet.

* one of the grossest things I ever had to do was sew back together the inner working of a sheep whose birth canal became detached giving birth. After sedating the ewe, we had to push everything back in, deliver the lamb (alive). Then make a small abdominal incision reach in and stitch her back together (~100 stitches). My job was to reach in and hold the birth canal in place from the inside. Mother and baby did very well, and a month later you'd never know she had any issues.
