Man's Contribution to Life
Watch this short video first (literally less than a minute!) It is a tiny excerpt from one of Jim Gaffigan's standup acts. I really like his humor and thought this fit perfectly into discussions that I'm sure will come from this class. He describes a woman having a baby as a miracle (duh), and how amazing it is that they can grow a baby inside them, deliver the baby, and then feed the baby with her body.
Then we think of the male's contribution. I particularly like the "redneck" voice he gives to the man saying "he helped too, for like 5 seconds, doing the one thing he thinks about 24 hrs a day." it's sort of comical that men demand all this credit for helping make the baby, yet are notorious for not helping out with caring for the baby. It's the woman who must go through 9 agonizing months of pregnancy, deliver the baby, and then take on nearly all of the responsibilities of parenting. While I think this video is funny and accurate, it also is nice to see Gaffigan giving women credit for the miracle of birth, and poking fun at man's less important (though necessary), contribution to life.
