You're literally in her brain

Post by Glacier »

The reason why yer wife never forgets the bad things that you've done 20 years ago is that you are literally in her brain. So is the last time she was with so be a little more understanding if she blames you for things that you didn't do.

Did my research--couple of minutes--it's actually pre-natal Oedipal syndrome (University of Alberta) :biggrin:

And if the UofA study isn’t enough to scare women away from wanting to conceive, here’s an expansion.

Men should weep and children should be eternally grateful.

. . . At the moment of conception, an effectively alien creature commandeers the mother’s womb and uses it as a sort of beachhead from which to seize control of her entire body. Mothers get nothing from this arrangement physically: babies get life itself, and they will stop at nothing to ensure their own survival, often relying on deceit of the first order.

While the unfertilized ovum is an immunologically benign thing—wholly produced by the mother’s body and thus very much a home-team player—the sperm that seek it out are interlopers, even is, in the case of parents who are trying to conceive, they’re invited interlopers. The lucky sperm cell that wins the conception race is safely subsumed into the larger body of the egg and the rest of the millions-strong swarm soon die off, so any threat to the integrity of the mother’s system ought to be over. The sperm’s genes survive, however—indeed, mixing them with the genetic material of the ovum is the whole point of conception—and the embryo that results will thus always be 50 percent foreign. So much outside genetics, even in a single cell, ought to be enough to stir the mother’s immune system to attack—and attack it would if the newly created organism didn’t have some clever defenses.

Almost immediately upon conception, the fertilized egg generates masking proteins that conceal the paternal DNA and allow only the mother’s genetic material to show. That bit of nothing-to-see-here sleight of hand blinds the mom’s immune system, even as the father’s genes go on doubling in density every time the cells that make up the new embryo implants itself in the uterine wall, even masking proteins wouldn’t be enough to conceal the alien mass of growing tissue. So the placenta steps in and helps the baby boost its game.

A temporary organ that serves as the bridge between mother and fetus, the placenta quickly begins releasing the hormone chorionic gonadotropin, which more powerfully repels the mother’s immune system, actually killing vital T-cells. The gonadotropin also triggers the release of the hormone progesterone, which stimulates the growth of feeder capillaries from the placenta outward into the uterus toward the womb in return, rooting the outsider more firmly in the mother’s interior and tapping into its energy and nutrient grid. Other hormones expand the diameter of maternal arteries supplying the womb and supress the mother’s ability to regulate blood flow, and with it, her own blood pressure.

At the same time, the placenta begins generating a hormone called placental lactogen, which raises glucose levels in the maternal bloodstream in order to satisfy the nutrient need of the growing fetus. The mother responds by increasing insulin output—and the fetus sees that and raises it by calling for more glucose. Other proteins pour forth from the placenta that swirl through the mother’s bloodstream and dissolve the very calcium in her bones, diverting it to the womb, where the baby takes it up and uses it to build its own skeleton.

The result of all of this is a mother who goes into pregnancy perfectly healthy and approaches the end of it suffering from symptoms of hypertension, diabetes and osteoporosis. Her pelvis will have come unhinged to accommodate the growing baby, her very organs will have repositioned themselves to make room for her swelling womb—the bladder flattening, the intestines compressing. Her breasts are engorged, her abdomen is distended, and the truly grueling finale to it all, labor and childbirth, is still to come. Mom has given all she could, and what her body didn’t surrender willingly, the baby simply took.

It is a process as selfish as it is involuntary, as heedless as it is mindless. The baby has no idea about the sublime self-centeredness of its own actions. But it’s difficult all the same not to see a sort of existential greed in the way a fetus takes hold and grows—and that’s a view even scientists find it hard not to take.

Evolutionary biologist David Haig, for one, famously described the placenta as a “ruthless, parasitic organ existing solely for the maintenance and protection of the fetus, perhaps too often to the disregard of the maternal organism.” It’s no wonder, either, that the less scientific but decidedly more readable team of mothers and authors behind the book Sh**tty Mom: The Parenting Guide for the Rest of US takes an even less sentimental approach: “The first few hours after the baby comes, you will be in a blurry, ecstatic state, flush with new mama-love and painkillers. Then the anesthesia and epidural will wear off. You’ll need to pee. The bathroom will be four feet away and you’ll need a walker. During this trek, you will understand that your vagina is being held together by stitches. If you had a C-section, there is a thin-lipped smile across your midsection. You will look like what you are: a childbirth survivor.”

And when all this is done—when gestation and childbirth are at last over—the baby will demand only one thing: to have its every need tended, fully and around the clock. . . .

Oh, the UofA study?

Uh-huh, yep, six degrees of separation :up:

One more thing Scorp's quote left out: A few cells from the baby can enter the mother's blood stream. There have been foreign male dna found in cells in the mother's thyroid which can trigger autoimmune conditions. A parting gift from the little parasite.

Microchimeric cells can originate from female fetuses, too.

But here's the line that I love from the OP article.

“Besides known pregnancies, other possible sources of male microchimerism include unrecognized spontaneous abortion, disappeared male twin, an older sibling transferred by the maternal blood circulation, or SEXUAL INTERCOURSE (sic) oral too !!!!!!!! :200:

Oh hell, I can’t resist.

The next thing you know females will be under fire for penetrating male brains by polluting our drinking water by, ehem, flushing their female reproductive cells down toilet.


You got it, oldtrucker.
