Trying a labour pain simulator made two cocky men realize that women don't exaggerate everything. Thank God!

It is definitely wrong on women's part to generalize and say all men are insensitive, egoistic pricks just as it was wrong of men to say that "women exaggerate everything".

Blame us all you want for generalizing now, but women happen to have large, forgiving hearts and this absolutely obnoxious statement too would have been ignored had it not been in reference to the excruciating labour pain that women go through during childbirth. And it was said by two American men. The last bit says it all now, doesn't it? 

As it is, Mother Nature seems to have a soft corner for not-so-soft-hearted men, who don't have to experience this pain and many others like period cramps, waxing, tweezing, etc. But gratitude and respect for the opposite gender are virtues that really didn't exist in the dictionary of these two American men, who claimed that childbirth couldn't be "that bad".

But life has its own way of shattering our conceited notions and showing each one of us the hard-hitting truths and realities that we most often turn a blind eye to.

Unfortunately for these two ignorant gentlemen, life taught them the hard way. Or should we say the painfully hard way?

In order to prove their points, the two dads-to-be tried out a labour pain simulator in a video experiment conducted by Kensington only to regret their words post the experience. The device that made them undergo a simulated version of childbirth by sending electrodes to their abdomen for one hour made them realize how excruciating childbirth actually is.

While to one man, the initial stage of labour pain felt like someone was carving out his abdomen with a saw, the other one couldn't stop panting and screaming.

As the two men writhed in pain, their pregnant wives seemed just as amused as we are, occasionally hi-fiving each other like karma had finally played its part.

After the torture, Mr. Arrogant Number 1 said, "It was horrible and a lot worse than I thought". And the Arrogant Male Number 2 joked: "Mum, if anything that I experienced was as close to what I did to you all those years ago I'm sorry."

Though this was all fun and games, we hope that they realize that it's not easy being a woman. In case any man still thinks we are "exaggerating", well, they can feel free to be a part of this experiment.
