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.
Can't say, I steer away from sweet, sissy, and French;)
how about a saucy Sautern...
LOL--you hit the jackpot with this story!
Man, that's QUEER!
It was a side-effect of getting rid of the Germans.
Well now, isn't that special.
Dubonnet.
Well!! Going in the back door. Wonder what it would look like??????
Girly men! Why does this not surprise me.
And it's all America's fault that they can't.
I'm not so shocked. When some moron calls me with a stupid poll (like the one cited), I usually give the most skewed answers I can think of.
I would be careful when giving a false answer to such a poll. The medical community might just try this, out of morbid curiousity, if they think there is a high enough demand for it.
