“But what about birth control?” you might ask. “ If a woman can manage to figure out how to get an abortion, surely she can use birth control to avoid unwanted pregnancy, right?” Great question. Modern birth control for women is possibly the most important invention of the last century, and I’m very grateful for it. It’s also brutal. The side effects for many women include migraines, mood swings, decreased libido, depression, severe cramps, heavy bleeding, aneurysm — and that’s just a small fraction of them. Discouragingly, a promising study on a new male contraceptive was canceled in large part due to… (wait for it)… side effects. To be clear, this list of side effects was about one-third as long as the known side effects for commonly used women’s contraception. There’s a lot to unpack in that story alone. I’ll simply point out that, as a society, we really don’t mind if women suffer, physically or mentally, as long as it makes things easier for men. But, men, I’ve got good news. Even with the horrible side effects, women are (amazingly!) very willing to use birth control. Unfortunately, it’s harder to get than it should be, but that doesn’t keep women from trying. Birth control options for women require a doctor’s appointment — sometimes multiple doctor’s appointments — and a prescription. They’re not always free, and often not cheap. Some are actually trying to make female birth control options more expensive by allowing insurance companies to refuse to cover them. In addition, contraceptive options for women can’t be easily acquired at the last minute. In most cases, they don’t work instantly. The pill requires consistent daily use and doesn’t leave much room for mistakes, forgetfulness, or unexpected disruptions to daily schedules. Again, the side effects can be brutal — and not just in rare cases. Despite the hassle and side effects, I’m still grateful for birth control. (Please don’t take it away.)But it’s critical to understand that women’s birth control isn’t simple or easy. In contrast, let’s look at birth control for men — i.e., condoms. They’re readily available at all hours, inexpensive, convenient, and don’t require a prescription. They’re effective and work on demand, instantly. They don’t cause aneurysms, mood swings, or debilitating cramps. Men can keep them stocked up just in case, so they’re always prepared. They can be easily used at the last minute. I mean, condoms are magic! So much easier than birth control options for women. As a bonus, most women are totally on board with condoms. They keep us from getting STDs. They don’t lessen our pleasure during sex or prevent us from climaxing. The best part? Cleanup is so much easier — no waddling to the toilet as jizz drips down our legs. So why would there ever be unwanted pregnancies? Why don’t men just use condoms every time they have sex? Seems so simple, right? Oh. I remember. Men don’t love condoms. In fact, it’s very, very common for men to pressure women to have sex without a condom. It’s also not unheard of for men to remove the condom during sex without the women’s permission or knowledge. (Pro tip: That’s assault.) Why would men want to have sex without a condom? Because, for the precious minutes when they’re penetrating their partner, not wearing a condom gives them more pleasure. So… that would mean some men are willing to risk getting a woman pregnant — which means literally risking her life, her health, her social status, her relationships, and her career — so they can experience a few minutes of slightly increased pleasure. Is this for real? Yes. Yes, it is. It is ironic you mention forcing men to be financially responsible for children and also claim we have too many people incarcerated. Being put in jail is the best reason I could possibly think of to force men to take care of their responsibility and even that don’t work. Take a look into county jails and see how many men are in for delinquency, then find the baby moma. She’ll tell you she still doesn’t get paid off in the end. Then these fine outstanding men get out (because they are “ nonviolent “) and ruin another woman’s life before he gets a job. I’ve heard these bastards brag about how many kids they have. So there is no way to force men to be responsible. As your articulate men are responsible for 100% of pregnancies. But women are on the hook from the moment of ejaculation on. They must have more options. Consequences are not enough to deter human nature.

I know how it works. Almost every adult human also does. We all know how to “ be creative to prevent it “ too. Yet For some reason in how ever many thousands or millions of years humans have existed, their behavior doesn’t match their knowledge. When you have an idea how to change that, I’m listening.

You beat me to it

When you find a way to effect that......

Then you are not concerned with saving babies. You are just punishing women for their behavior?

They should be above it. Like I don’t know...the president?

So Am I correct to assume you’re ok with with the “slaughter “ of a baby conceived of rape or incest?

I didn’t attend too many games when he played or started but I agree. He wasn’t treated as well as he should have been. This goes for a lot of players. I was embarrassed to be an Auburn fan at games when jake Holland was introduced in the starting lineup. We have our share of a**holes. But you gotta grow up and move on from that.

You left out too naive to avoid being raped by their family members or Sunday school teacher.

Maybe a hack job. Regardless of a persons conformation to being a law abiding citizen.. that’s not exactly enough. Interceptions WILL always keep you out of the “ league “ or sec. JJ is not this immature.

I got Brooks to win. 😎

When you employ three people already suspected of being foreign assets.... one already under surveillance wtf do you expect?

Misusing “spied” too.

Probably way up from previous years. He didn’t sacrifice anything. He uses the damn place almost weekly and bills the government.

Good luck Malik!
