One fan asked if Michael would care if Martha developed stretch marks during her pregnancy. Instagram

"Stretch marks, are f---ing NORMAL, and will never impact how I feel about her or how obsessed I am with her in the slightest.

"The fact is that up to 88 per cent of pregnancies result in stretch marks and women literally grow a HUMAN BEING from a damn cell inside them.

"That is f---ing mind blowing!"

"Any guy that feel differently needs to check his small dick energy," the post continued.

"Trust me bro, even if you could, you couldn't do it. Women are built different."

Michael gave the same response in an impassioned speech which he uploaded in a video to TikTok.

Martha – who is seven months pregnant – seconded Michael's opinion and expressed her thoughts in the comment section.

"I couldn't care les about stretch marks to be honest," she said.

But the mum-to-be shared a quote which she thought was "relevant".

"We have stretch marks to remind us of how much we've grown. These are not blemishes. They are maps that we each carry to show how much woman kind can be stretched but never broke," the quote read.

Fans applauded Michael for his mature response.

"Respect level just went up to 110 per cent," one fan wrote.

Others were baffled as to why someone would ask the question in the first place.

"A very shallow question. Stretch marks are normal, pregnant or not!," another follower wrote.
