[p]A Twitter user has taken to the micro-blogging platform, Twitter, to express his opinion that pregnancy is not as hard as women make it out to be. The user clarifies that he doesn't think pregnancy is easy, but he also doesn't believe that it is as difficult as women make it seem. The user argues that the female body is designed to carry out the function of pregnancy, and so it cannot be that hard. To support his argument, he uses the analogy that knives are made to cut, and it's not hard for them to do so. However, if a spoon was used to cut something, that would be difficult. The user goes on to say that if basic life skills such as cooking and cleaning are difficult for someone, then of course, pregnancy would be hard for them. But for someone who is not "simple sally," they should be just fine.

Cause like your whole body by design was made to do that shit, just like knives were made to cut it’s not hard for them to do that.. It’d be hard for a spoon to cut something, but not a knife. All I’m saying is, if basic life skills like cooking and cleaning are difficult to you, of course pregnancy is gonna be hard.. But if you’re not a simple sally, you should be just fine .. Like I said, knives were made to cut.”
