There is a lot that is more painful than giving birth.

How would I, as a man, know this to be absolutely true?

Because many women, even after the most painful of childbirths possible, go “let’s try for another one!!”

Meanwhile, everyone who has had a kidney stone - or, to be traditional with this metaphor, a man who has been bodily kicked in the nuts - NEVER wants to go through that kind of pain ever again. And invariably not for any kind of benefit, even if it’s millions of dollars of tax-free cash.
