The woman mainly supports the child *physically* during the pregnancy. After birth, both parents have equal opportunity to love the child and that is a much more important part of nurturing a child. I would only envy a woman if for some reason I could not love the child I "sparked". I certainly don't envy having to bear a child in me for 9 months.
