A woman with any sense of feminine "mystique" will get it instinctively. Unfortunately, modern women have lost all sense of decorum, modesty, and delicacy. Our great grandmothers knew much better! There is a reason why before the raise of Feminism, when the Patriarchal institution was firmly established in society, husbands would NEVER be permitted in the delivery room. They would wait OUTSIDE.
That is all I have to say about this. Not really interested in pursuing the conversation any longer, so I'll abandon this thread.
This is nonsense. A holdover of Victorian "morality", itself an offspring of puritanism.
I have assisted my wife at the births of all of our children. The "two in one flesh" applies here, too, even in the birthing room. The two of us support each other, assist each other, and experience one of the most amazing, beautiful, mysterious events in life.
Together.
I asked this in another thread: Why does Traditional Catholicism seem to attract such puritanistic, Jansenistic, overly-scrupulous, and generally unbalanced people?
