Men Cause 100% of Unwanted Pregnancies
This is the most idiotic article I’ve ever read.
Everything in here is a non-sequitur. The idea that women’s birth control is expensive and sucks, doesn’t make men more responsible than women. In fact, if women’s birth control sucks, they’re more likely to go off of it and are therefore responsible for informing their partners of that fact.
There is a much lower threshold for side effects in medicine than there used to be. That’s why men’s birth control can’t make it through the FDA. Women’s birth control wouldn’t make it through these day’s either. But decades ago it could’ve and did.
Condoms aren’t a “male” birth control option. Either party can decide not to have sex without a condom. A woman has every right to demand her partner wear a condom. Sure, he can remove it without her knowing. But she can also deliberately stop taking her birth control without him knowing. I know women who’ve done it. When a man removes a condom he’s taking away the informed consent of his partner. Likewise when a man consents to sex believing the woman is on birth control, but she is not, his consent is not informed and she is therefore assaulting him. If you have done that to a man, you are a rapist.
Also, the idea that women don’t dislike condoms is just wrong. Women dislike condoms as much as men do. There’s an interesting article from 2015 in psychology today that states this fact. That article, of course, attributes the fact that we don’t know this about women, to the fact that we never ask women how they feel.
Women do not suffer all of the consequences of pregnancy. Men have child support responsibilities and men absolutely are shamed for unwanted pregnancies. The child support guidelines are set up to extract the most from men as possible and have no real world bearing on what is required to raise a child. I myself have about 45% of the parenting time and am still ordered to pay $2000 per month in child support. There is absolutely no way my ex wife pays anywhere near 50% of the financial burden for our children.
“Only about 61 percent of required [child support] payments by men are actually made”. This conveniently leaves out the fact that men are much better at paying their portion of child support payments than women are. Nonetheless, women are much less likely to be imprisoned for not paying their child support. Men bear most of the financial responsibility for children.
This is of course largely tied to the idea that women don’t have reproductive rights. I’ll just state again, emphatically, women are the only ones with reproductive rights. It’s not even a concept for men. Men can impregnate a woman, and after that she doesn’t even have to inform him that he’s a father. She can give their baby away if she wants, and he never has to know. He can also never opt out of parenthood, despite the mother having months to opt out. Women are the only ones with any reproductive rights.
The author of this article clearly only has an agenda of demonizing men. I get it, it’s very fashionable to do these days. But when actual consideration is put into the issue, you see that her points are absurd. She uses no logic whatsoever in arriving at her conclusion that it’s all because of the evil men.
Completely oblivious…
Feel free to spread the word, but remember, innocent until proven guilty, even for people we don’t like.
Mike has been targeted with a milkshake protest
This is the people who oppose protecting men and boys. They have no points, no counterpoints, no evidence, no logical framework, no common sense, no nothing. All they have are milkshakes, and a sense of entitlement.
I’m going to criticize this from an angle that I haven’t heard yet. She’s encouraging women to be manipulative and withhold sex until they get their way. I mean, that’s one of the big criticisms of manipulative women in relationships, that they say “fine, if you don’t do what I want, I’ll withhold sex” and here she is, a manipulative woman, saying “fine, if you don’t do what I want, I’ll withhold sex”.
And I’m sure that many women who would hear me saying this would say “how dare you use the stereotype that women are manipulative!”. Well here’s a feminist icon telling women of the world to withhold sex to get their way.
I mean, it’s ok with me, because I’d never be with a woman like that. But I wonder how many men are going without it right now because this false, crazy idea that women have fewer reproductive rights. My guess is that there aren’t that many, and that they’re all feminists/pro-choice.
