Ah, I understand now! I took the word "comparatively" to mean simply "compared to men." Silly flicka. Thanks, Curtis!

Well, what you described I could only define as rape, which I certainly don't find funny. Maybe I missed something huge.

Sorry, I'm not sure what was wrong with what I said that it didn't make it clear what I meant. I'll try again.

"Vive la difference!" sounds to me like an expression in support of individuality and diversity. It appears to me that you support men and women having to supress their individuality to conform to stereotypes that are wholly unnatural, so I don't understand why you'd say such a phrase. I would have used that phrase to express support for individuality, not conformity.

In olden days, when women were pregnant for their whole lives, sure those stereotypes had a necessary function. But modern civilization and technology means we can be ourselves! We don't have to conform anymore! Isn't that a beautiful thing? Such a shame to waste it, I think.
