Male pregnancy is developed from bioengineering, perhaps in the 22nd century, to give males the ability to give birth - by cesarian section. However, this gift also gives men the "curse" of menstruation - for those who choose not to suppress it with anti-menstruation drugs. Religious fanatics will try to ban male pregnancy, but to no avail. This will allow women to follow their dreams up the corporate ladder of the future while men can become househusbands.
