Study: Men get frying pan induced pregnancy symptoms.
30 March 2010
A study published in the New England Journal of Science about Woman's Bits, this month stated that a large proportion of men feel frying pan induced symptoms of pregnancy.
The study found that generally, symptoms are initially felt towards the end of the first trimester, when, after saying something
along the lines of: "God, have I got 6 months more of this moaning and
crying?". The male partner is then belted across the back of the head with the largest non-stick frying pan to hand. This immediately induces moaning and crying from the skull cracking headache. Insecurity and fear then appear, following the promise that if you don't buck up your ideas, then another whack is imminent.
Over the course of the pregnancy, men feel increased levels of anxiety. The study however was not able to discern how much was due to the direct effects of the pregnancy or the impending threat of being struck in the head with cast iron cookware.
The study showed that symptoms disappear almost immediately after child birth. The study suggests that this is because the mother now has a new baby to play with and it's much harder to wield a frying pan with a breast feeding baby.
Dr Sharonson, the lead author of the study said: "Men can avoid these symptoms by acting sensitively and giving foot rubs. However, as all it takes is one grunt, in response to a question about whether she looks fat now that she's pregnant, while the husband is engrossed watching the closing minutes of his football game, most men are unlikely to escape these symptoms".
