Besides the idiocy of the statement, these people don't understand the toll that pregnancy has on the body.
Elon definitely looks like he's been pregnant 17 times...
Idk, Elong looks significantly worse than that
I guess he's running low on blood boys.
And yet, so many women still opt for having ~~numerous~~ large families.
P.s.
My native language double crossed me on that sentence.
True, but 17 is rare and wild.
Today.
A great-grandmother of mine had 19.
Wut?
Regardless pregnancy and birth being an highly stressful and toll taking endeavour for a woman's body, many still opt to have large families, out of their own volition.
I really don't see how much clearer I can get in my wording.
You could say that about a lot of things. Boxing enacts an extreme toll on a boxers body, in training, in match prep and in the fight itself, yet many of them continue to come back to the ring.
Sometimes the thing that is a struggle and exacts a toll has a reward that makes it worth it. It doesnt mean the struggle to get the thing wasn't difficult or debilitating.
You're right and I whole heartdly agree with you.
I was trying to express that exact same idea on my first comment, with obviously disastrous outcome.
Yeah, I got confused by the numerous / large there.
Some peeps get away with having two families, but it usually is the guy because it's easier to father children on "business trips" than to do a whole pregnancy.
Travel salesman family arrangement.
It's the classic joke in my country.
