Women endure the labor of childbirth and men send themselves to war! But I gave birth to eight children and never once did I cry like I saw some of those men out there before they even fired their first shot! I think it has something to do with the unnaturalness of killing compared to the naturalness of giving birth. Ana Castillo
About This Quote

Men, when it comes to the workplace, they spend their lives in a war zone. Most men never see a day off. They start work at 8 AM and end at 8 PM. When they get home, the first thing they do is prepare for work the next day, and if they can’t, they will find something to take their mind off of it.

Then there is the constant war of battling for respect and status within their group. If women aren’t giving birth to babies, then most men are going to have to go fight in some kind of war. After all, being a father is not an easy job.
