This mansplaining podcaster says women don’t need medical help with childbirth – 14 responses that are little bundles of joy

Let’s check in on what the podcast realm has coughed up for us this week.

Step forward Alec Zeck, a former handball player and vaccine-sceptic host of a podcast called The Way Forward.

Earlier this week, Alec had some thoughts about childbirth. He believes it’s not something that requires “the presence of a white-coated pharmaceutical salesman cosplaying as a health expert” – presumably meaning, y’know, doctors.

Birth is not an “emergency” requiring the presence of a white-coated pharmaceutical salesman cosplaying as a health expert;

Birth is a natural, normal physiological process in which the woman’s body expresses the intelligence, beauty and co-creative capacity of nature, set forth…

His tweet reads:

Birth is not an “emergency” requiring the presence of a white-coated pharmaceutical salesman cosplaying as a health expert;

Birth is a natural, normal physiological process in which the woman’s body expresses the intelligence, beauty and co-creative capacity of nature, set forth by the God of all creation.

The medical establishment has conditioned women to believe they’re broken and incapable, and that birth is something to fear. Birth is a sacred ceremony of creation to revere.

As you’d expect, women led the charge in the replies.

Thank you so much for explaining to women what giving birth is all about. Don’t know what we would do without you!!!!

Passing a kidney stone is also a "perfectly natural" process, but I bet you would run to the hospital screaming for help to get through it.

When men have to push a watermelon through a hole the size of an apple with their own bodies, maybe then you can have an opinion about childbirth.

I didn’t fear birth. I was full term, healthy baby and I was continuously denied medical intervention. Told its “natural”. My healthy baby died inside me after a 6 day labour because of negligence. Maybe read up on maternity scandals and you will see a theme.

I was born at 30 weeks in 1984. I wouldn’t be here without doctors in white coats.

– signed a stupid male with no medical degree and no actual knowledge of what birth is and why a doctor is, in quite a few cases, absolutely necessary https://t.co/sqshayuzWT

*TRIGGER WARNING*

Please visit a part of the world where non medically overseen childbirth is the default

Then tell a woman who's walked three days to hospital with an obstructed, dead, macerating foetus in her birth canal about normal physiological processes

You throbbing tit https://t.co/y2kbNleEol

What women really REALLY want is yet another man giving an opinion on maternity

And this isn’t even an opinion

Just straight up nuclear grade foolery.

How about both: Birth is a natural, normal process. But the availability of medical services is there in case there are problems.

Bullshit, and dangerous bullshit at that.

The rate of death for women in childbirth in Victorian times in the U.K. was 1 in 200, now with modern medical practices and drugs it’s 1 in 10,000.

Sit this one out, you’re not the one at risk.

A twisted testicle is a naturally occurring process too, but your ass would be crying in the ER, demanding attention.

You know what else is natural? Mothers dying while giving birth. It used to happen all the time. It doesn’t happen as much anymore because of God given medical advances.

Says someone who will never do it.
You know why you never hear stories of how women coped with medically difficult pregnancies in the past?

Because they and their babies aren’t alive to tell them.

If it wasn’t for health experts I and my kids would not be here. https://t.co/GFxiCal86B
