I have friends who worked as midwives, they were very accomplished and dedicated. I chose a much different kind of work. My own experiences of midwives are not so good.

@rookie54 saidThat grin should not have been a factor for disqualification, since babies come out crying and screaming anyway. But sometimes they need a good spanking on their rears, to start them off. You would have made a natural midwife, by not needing to spank them....one grin, that's all.
i applied once for midwifery
as it turns out, i have a "creepy" grin
@very-rusty saidAre there "midhusbands"?
I was told I was the wrong sex, kind of bias in humble opinion. 🙂

@very-rusty saidActually, yeah, I am.
Are you against that possibility? 🙂

Midwifery is a long established craft. I don't think men could do it, OR be taken seriously in it. To adequately help a woman through pregnancy and delivery, I think that a woman would be best-qualified to help and advise.
I just can't imagine being 8.5 months pregnant and being told "do this, do that" by some dude. Sorry, dude, piss off, what would you know about it?

Why shouldn’t men be taken seriously in the profession?
Why is a woman “best qualified” over a man?
I suppose men can’t be gynaecologists either?
Sexist, misandrist.
Explains a lot.
