      I mean for 1979? A lot of males probably DID think it was horrific. I don’t think males were allowed in the delivery room UNTIL the 70s, and choosing to actually exercise the option became more common in the late 90s/2000s.

      I think your comment really dismisses the fact that Alien feels like a modern movie in a lot of ways BECAUSE of these types of deliberate choices made during the writing and filming. The movie is over 40 years old.

        Alien is one of my favorite movies ever, so I’m not dismissing anything.

        I was responding to OP who observed that the comment about childbirth in the post felt dismissive, and I summarized it to make fun of it.
