Beyond the personal discomfort, her larger point was that women aren’t going to achieve social equality until some technological alternative is invented to save us from being the only sex expected to go through it. If men were the ones forced to endure this ordeal, obviously such a technological solution would long ago have been devised.
I don't agree with this point of view. If men need to pregnant, then the men will become disadvantaged and become the discriminated party in sexism like current situation of women. So one of the keys to solving gender inequality is indeed a machine that can replace women in giving birth, but it does not mean that if men were the ones forced to endure this ordeal, the machine can be invented earlier.
