CMV: The term "pregnancy brain" is misleading and sexist because it only applies to women.

I've noticed a lot of people talk about how men and women are treated differently in society, but this one seems like an obvious example. Pregnancy brain is when a woman is extremely forgetful during her pregnancy, while a man can be extremely stressed and forgetful (for example because they're financially supporting a child or having to plan a whole new life) and no one will ever say they have pregnancy brain.<br><br>I believe we should call it something different, as it's unfair to label one gender as more prone to forgetfulness than the other.
