pregnant women are overpraised/worshipped

*first things first: this is not in any way an intended form of hate or anything.

i commented something very similar to this on an instagram post and i got attacked by defensive rude middle aged women who took no time to actually read and just jumped to trying to bring me down for having an opinion. i’m curious to what redditors have to say*

everyday, on social media, i ALWAYS see posts of pregnant women with captions such as “NO STRENGTH COMPARES TO THE ONE OF A MOTHER💪💪”. comment sections absolutely flooded with praise and worship. i’m not saying women aren’t strong or anything but i wouldn’t exactly go as far as saying all that extra stuff about it. i believe humans nowadays are extremely sensitive due to the significant aid of technology. pregnancy and labor is one of the EASIEST things nowadays, especially if you live in a good country. there’s constant medical checkups before, during, and after pregnancy. there’s a load of medications to help pain and to help the development of a child. women have the luxury to see their baby in utero, hear their baby’s heartbeat, detect early abnormalities, and many other things, the list goes on and on. the only reason against my opinion that the women on ig had was, “vomiting and pain”, which as i previously stated that there is medication for. i understand the “mama bear” instinct to probably want to tear me over my opinion but i really do not see the big deal. you had a baby, why do you deserve much praise? billions of women have done the same, it’s the most common thing, literally almost anyone can procreate (yes i’m aware of infertility and such; hence, the word “almost”). i imagine the women back then whom had NO technology or assistance, i believe that if anything, THOSE are the women who deserve all the WAP that these women nowadays get. procreation is exactly what human bodies were created for, especially a woman’s body. it’s the most normal thing that has been done for billions of years. why not praise other normal bodily functions? our skeletal system? the recreation of our blood cells? the fact that our bodies can heal themselves? why isn’t that praised? also, pregnancy is (usually and for the most part) a choice. it’s no one else’s fault that they go through “so much”. they knew what they signed up for. it doesn’t put them above anybody.

edit: okay i exaggerated a bit, not EASIEST but it’s much easier than before which is my whole point

edit: those of you saying my opinion isnt an opinion, it is. an opinion is defined as a view/judgement not necessarily based on facts

edit: yes i’m very much aware of the horrible things it can do to you but i believe we’re in a time where it’s preventable and so much safer, therefore, easier than before. i still don’t see the need for excess praise. everyone wants praise for everything

edit: no i’m not a man
