                  Did you know ancient female warriors used to cut off their breast (only one-can't remember which though-urgh,think it was the left )to accomodate their quiver strap & bows!!
                  Would a man cut off his penis for the same reason?????I wonder????LOL

                      I heard about the female warriors.....I think they cut off one of their breast so they could use their bow a little better. Cutting off a man's testicles would'nt give you the same advantage ! ha! You'll turn a Roster into a Capon....Ha! IAD

                          In saying that...I reckon child birth is akin to loosing a limb in battle! The fear before hand of running into the fray..alone...no one else to do it for you etc! So in our own ways, men and women have their own kind of courage...yes?

                              No worries, IAD. If you men had to give birth, I'm sure a woman would be standing right there and telling them the right way to do it. Not that you'd listen... :H
