WHY MEN ARE NOT MOTHERS

A woman has a vulva.
Men don't.
A woman has a vagina.
Men don't.
A woman has a uterus.
Men don't.
A woman has ovaries.
Men don't.
A woman has milk-producing breasts.
Men don't.
It's hard for a man to be a mother.

Also men have the attention span of a man,
not enough to be a mother.
Also men don't have the imagination
to wonder why a kid is screaming.
Also men don't have the patience
not to kill a kid that's screaming.
Also men tend to be mother-fuckers.
That alone disqualifies them.
