#tw reproductive coercion

I’ve seen a lot of jokes this week from women saying “well if scotus overturns roe v wade we won’t have sex with men unless they get the snip first” and just… I know its a joke, I know its coming from a place of frustration and helplessness, trying to maintain some kind of control in a world that’s trying to rip your choices from you but like… I hate to be the one to say it but there’s been a simultaneous rise of men plotting to trick women into having sex by lying about being sterilised or infertile, and they’re using your jokes as proof that they can get away with it.

So please. I know we’re all freaking out right now, but PLEASE prioritise your safety. I know I don’t need to remind you that there are some sick men out there.
