Don't people tend to default to the female because birth involves a lot of goolie inspecting?
The only person I've ever known who passed out looking at birth photos was female. But, I bet that men have a lesser baseline for "yes, popping a crenshaw melon out a nostril here!" Excepting the exceedingly squeamish of both sexes, most women have more education about what happens at birth than most men do. Notice Charlie was like, "we should boil some water!" which, while a nice step, is useful in an outdoor, no-tools birth only for the making of tea.
Were we the only ones to yell "Dave! MOOOOOOOO" at the screen during that first tying the bow tie scene?
I'm scratching my head over this reference.
Look at it this way--if YOU had to be naked from the waist down with your legs over someone's shoulders and them staring at the gates of paradise for a long period, and it had to be, say, someone you worked with, would you randomly choose a guy or another female?
Moreso than a woman who's never had kids?
I meant with regard to the testicular problem, not the birthing. Just channel surfing past America's Funniest Home Videos makes me flinch if I hit the ubiquitous baseball to the crotch scenes.
If I were in labor, I'd want whoever had the highest probability of delivering my baby alive with all limbs intact. I really wouldn't care if they were male or female.

The guy who was Jack's best man played Titus' brother Dave on the late lamented
Titus.
I don't think I can explain the cow thing succintly.

I don't see any real debate in this scenario (not yours, Jessica, just generally) that this person wasn't Kate. Maybe
we're
more hung up on her gender than the writers or the other characters.
I guess I need to take Nutty with me if I hike pregnant. I don't know much more about birthing babies than Charlie (did he ask about towels?).

I'm thinking that's neither the guy who doesn't speak English nor the cute but high-strung guy you may want to get groiny with.
In the absence of Jack and Sun, I do think the most qualified person is Kate, in the not-panicking sense if not the actual medical knowledge sense. Or Michael, depending on whether he was a part of his kid's actual birthing. Or any of the extras who has had kids herself (except, by dint of being an extra, no luck there). The Lost Islanders are really a childless bunch, aren't they?
Imagine giving birth with Snickerbitch in attendance. I think that is the ultimate "shut up, I'll just do it myself!" situation.
Not so much the gates of paradise at that particular moment, though.
At that point, Joey Buttofucco could be playing catcher, I wouldn't really give a shit as long as someone was there to pull.
