NEW YORK -- Forget sympathy pains -- nearly 40 percent of French men said they want to go through the real thing.

According to a poll published in the current issue of Children's Magazine, 38 percent of the 500 French fathers questioned said they wish they could be pregnant and go through labor instead of their wives.

And the poll finds many women would be OK with that. An even greater percentage of them said they would be up for the switch.

The same survey said 71 percent of the French men surveyed said they're prepared to take a year-long sabbatical or put in a request to work part-time to be more of a hands-on dad.

The poll was conducted by the marketing company Ipsos.

Your title is misleading..."French men" is an oxymoron.

Please tell me this is a joke...

The only 'men' I know of who would ever want to become pregnant would be male-to-female transsexuals, and even they are cautious about it.

But given advance in medical technology tissue and organ engineering, I would say these French may get their wish in a decade or so.
