That is not true at all. Men have every ability to nurture a child after it is
born. The fire of life needs nurturing well after the first 9 months. 
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.
