Caveman Deficiencies

What did you think of this man's endeavor to debunk man's 'caveman deficiencies'? Do you think he was successful or do you think he just made himself look ridiculous? Why? Who do you think has it worse, men or women, and why?

I think Benjamin is weird for wanting to know what it feels like to be pregnant. You're a male and you will never need to know what it feels like. He just makes himself look odd by doing this. Women have it worse than men, but that's not my problem. I'm a male.

I think this man is crazy, but his endeavor was in good will. He wanted to know why it was so hard to be pregnant, and now he has a base understanding. Yeah, he doesn't know the while feeling, but why would he? He's the man, and he'll never have to know what it feels like. He probably just made himself look ridiculous in that suit, because he couldn't have any of the pains that accompany pregnancy. I think women have it a bit worse, but men don't have it so easily either. Men basically should have to take care of their women for the duration of the pregnancy. But then again, a man should do that anyhow.

I think that this man Benjamin is a very weird man. The only thing he did was make himself look ridiculous. For a man to try and stimulate pregnancy just does not work. The women have it the worst by far men have nothing compared to that.

I think Benjamin is just not normal for wanting to try this. He should've done nine months not nine weeks. Also he should've had all the issues that women have not just the "big belly". He 100% looked ridiculous. Women have the worse because we got through more than males.

Myiah Cook said...

That man is beyond crazy. What male wants to know what it's like to be pregnant? It not like it was anything like being pregnant, so in reality he just look stupid. I definitely think women have it worse, just because they go through so much more then men do.

Benjamin's journey of "being pregnant" was, in my opinion, very stupid. He didn't get the real feeling of being pregnant because he wasn't wearing the suit for nine months and he didn't have the side effects women have to suffer through. Benjamin just made himself look stupid by trying to know what it was like to be pregnant. Wearing a body suit for nine weeks does not give males a feeling of what it's actually like to be pregnant. Women have it worse than men because they actually have to deal with all the symptoms and go through labor. Men just have to put up with all of it.

Gerald Perkins said...

I think the fact that he put a pregnancy suit on is very odd. As a male, I understand the fact that women go through pregnancy and it is painful and all. However, one doesn't have to put a pregnancy suit on. Instead, show support by helping pregnant women with anything they need. What does putting a pregnancy suit on do? Well, other than embarrass yourself. He looks like a real idiot with the suit on to be quite honest.

He should leave being pregnant to the ones nature chose. Faking a lite version does not do anyone any good. Men probably could not handle it anyway. This test did not come close to real pregnancy. It just comes off as a publicity stunt.

Jerry said...

I think he is a bit weird. He just made himself look ridiculous. he wore it outside his clothing. I think women have it worse because they have so many emotions that it makes everything special.

That is really weird. I would never been able to do it if I was a gut because I bet people thought he was gay or something. He was not successful but he didn't fail either. He looked very ridiculous in that suit and the clothes he wore with it. The women totally have it was worse than the man. Yes, he has to take care of the women but he doesn't have to go through the pain and sickness.

This man is ridiculous for doing all of this just to see how it feels to be pregnant. I feel as if males shouldn't have to know what it feels like to be pregnant because it will never happen. Women most definitely have it worse. Women have to go threw a lot more than men have to; Pregnancy, periods, ect.

As a female, I feel that what he did was great. Men often fail to understand the true struggles and discomfort a female goes through. However, Benjamin did look very ridiculous. The physical outer physical discomfort isn't even close to the worst part of carrying a child. It is the emotional toll it takes on a person more than anything. In the end, men have it worse than women because they have to put up with being yelled at, punched, BIT and other forms of abuse for doing absolutely nothing.

I have never heard of the empathy belly before. I see the point Benjamin is trying to make, but the suit doesn't produce all of the symptoms a woman goes through. Benjamin said that women made comments about the inadequacies of the belly. He should have wore the belly for the normal pregnancy span of 9 months rather than 9 weeks. Most men seem to look past all of the labor women go through during pregnancy.

Kaylee Smith said...

I think Benjamin just made himself look ridiculous for wanting to stimulate pregnancy. I don't understand his reasoning behind wearing the prosthetic belly. He should have wore the pregnancy suit for the full nine months, like all women. I definitely think women have it worse than men. Women don't receive as much credit as they should.

Darion said...

This guy is weird. He may have tried to understand what a woman goes through during pregnancy, but nothing can imitate that. It also made him look ridiculous at the same time. Women have it far worse. Men should just stick to taking care of their pregnant women. They did it to them, anyway.

I think that this man is weird even for putting the suit on . I really don't understand his reason for wearing the suit. He shouldn't have worn it because he wasn't going to get the full effect of pregnancy. I wonder when women saw him did they see him as being disrespectful. He shouldn't have ever put the suit on it proves nothing and it's just weird.

Nine weeks does not justify a full human pregnancy. If Benjamin was to be completely credible he should have lasted all nine months. (or just turned into a woman for that period of time because, like the women commented, he didnt have those raging hormones and other symptoms to go along. Women definitely have it worse! From their monthly to painful childbearing, women still perserveer. Many men are freaked out by the talk of those subjects and would not like to endure such pain. Men are credited for "bringning home the bacon" and the woman for "frying it up in a pan". Both genders need redistributed credit.

Courtney Morrill said...

Benjamin just made himself look ridiculous. Even though he wore the pregnancy suit, it still is nothing like being pregnant. I understand why he wanted to do it but he wasn't successful. It's crazy to think that a man would do something this bizarre just to see what women go through. Women definitely have it worse than men because of what they have to go through.

this is a very weird man. he is odd for wanting to know how pregnancy feels. and also women have it worse.

Mason said...

I think it's odd that he wants to know how it feels to be pregnant. If i was this man, i would be embarrassed to do what he did, and even more so to talk about it on tv with the guy from family feud. The man also has a fake voice.

Kellie Matthews said...

I think that the experiment was unsuccessful. All he had to do was carry the weight, and that was only for 9 weeks. He had no experience with the pain or the emotions. And after all that he got let of easily, it's not like he had to give birth, he just took the suit off. Women definitely have it worse.

Chantel :) said...

I think that he was successful at this goal, because men needed to see what women go through this days with pregnancy and labor. I still think that women has it worst.

Kelsey Taylor said...

This man is very weird for wanting to know how pregnancy is. Men don't get pregnant at all so why would he even want to know how it is? That's just weird. And women have it worse because we have too got through these things

Anonymous said...

the man is retarted for even wanting to try on the suit.He shouldnt want to see what it feels like. Women have it way worse then men. Men just have to sit there and listen, we actually have to feel and go through it.

I think this man is weird for wanting to know what its like to be pregnant, but hey, whatever floats youe boat. I think he was sucessful with his own personal goal in wanting to know what a big belly feels like, but its probably not like feeling the real thing. Women have it worse, because all men have to do is sit there and listen to us complain about there legit big bellys.

Breanna said...

I think what he did was really great even though he didn't get the full affect and he never will. Men don't fully understand what our bodies go through with all the weight changes, pain, and expanding of our bodies. I have already decided that when i get pregnant my husband will wear a pregnant suit so he knows what it feels like to have a huge belly. As for the hormones go men will never understand what it is like. I think women have it worse because all of the mood swings and carrying a baby and having the big baby bump.

Abby Haring said...

I think by putting on the suit he tried to see the different side of things. Women don't have it the easiest but neither do men. I think he is successful as in he knows more or less the baggage a woman has to carry, but at the same time was unsuccessful because it will never compare to the real effects of pregnancy. I think both sexualities are equal, we both have things that are tougher than others.

Hunter Alexander said...

I think he wasn't very successful. He wasted his time. Women have it worse because they have to feel physical pain. Men just have to listen to them complain.

Cass C said...

This is a strange man. I do not think he was successful at all.He only wore the suit for 9 weeks,and that would not simulate what its like to be pregnant at all. I think women have it much worse than men. I think this man looked very ridiculous wearing the suit, if i would have seen him wearing it i would have laughed at him.

Holly Watson said...

I think this video is very odd. It is crazy that this man wants to try to experience a pregnancy. It is more than just a large tummy. Women are stronger than men. That man should have done it for all nine months if he was really trying to do it. Doing it for only nine weeks, makes him look weak, proving women are stronger.
