So you actually think someone thinks giving birth and menstruating are the same thing?
Why are you freaking out? Geez. I explained several pages back the reason I was being serious about the comments.
You don't like to be rude? Give me a break. This entire thread is about being rude to people simply because they are ignorant. How would you feel if you asked someone a simple question and they made fun of you for not knowing the facts about something you had no reason to know? That is rude. Being sarcastic to someone for asking a simple question! That's rude.
As I said much much earlier - someone arguing with you about facts is fair game. Someone asking a basic question - not fair game. If you're mocking people for asking questions you're just plain mean, and deserve to have someone point it out.
Look, a human female menstruating is the same thing as a hen laying an egg, unfertilized. I truly feel sorry for the chickens going through that, on a near-daily basis, if not daily. That's why their egg-laying days are only for a few years. A human female has the same limitation, there are only so many ovum created at birth. The only thing different between a human female and hens (whatever species of fowl), is that a human female only goes through the egg laying every 28 days (on average), so the number of years is increased, substantially. No wonder a hen squawks so much when they lay their eggs... that is the equivalent, I'm sure, in pain that a human female goes through to deliver their babies (and btw, I've had 3 full-term deliveries, so I know the pain!).
What I have seen is that every time someone posts something about some of the comments they get about their chickens, you get defensive, and feel that it is necessary to correct that person. You don't know what the conversation was, or even if the person attempted to explain or correct the person, because you weren't there, and the person who posted didn't feel that it was necessary to have to give full details of their entire conversation. The point was... the dumb thing that was said, to begin the conversation in the first place. You corrected the person, and a heated debate was created, unnecessarily. That is the point of this entire thread... just to share the "
dumb" things said. And sometimes, even explaining to someone the truth, to correct them, is futile, because they refuse to learn and accept the truth. My own DH is an excellent case-in-point. He has raised fowl, himself, since he was a young boy, and he even insists that you have to have a rooster for the hens to lay eggs. When I corrected him, all he said was "we'll see about that." I DID explain to him that in order for chicks to be hatched, we'd need a rooster, but not if we were only going to have the hens for egg production.
The point is... we are all intelligent, smart people that are on this thread, and try to educate others so the myths and fallacies are corrected to those that are uninformed. Please treat us with respect that shows that we do know what we are talking about.
