Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

Yes. Perspectives that are shared amongst a wide group of people are called mores, which is what I am describing here.

Why does she have to defend herself for getting roles? The people who cast should be catching flack more than her. If she thinks the role is right for her and it helps develop her craft - why wouldn’t she take it?

Or they form into gangs and kidnap/sell/use us as baby incubators.

Weirdly enough, the gender imbalance is actually going down because a lot of girls were simply not registered when they were born as a way to circumvent the one-child policy. Now that they are all hitting 18, 25 millions women are suddenly appearing on government registers as adults.

It’s never the men’s responsibility not to suck, it’s always our fault and our problem to fix :-/

“There is also concern in China, the Post reports, that “educated women will decide not to marry men and have kids”

If they were talking about how more girls need to be the protagonist in “Bobby Goes to School!” type books I might be on board here. But, as you mentioned, these are kids books about real people, of course they are going to be about extraordinary adults, men and women, and gloss over the age-inappropriate parts of…

Maybe you just have a gross attitude about life, man.

Icant even read half of this. Its so sicm. If you literally feel DEMORALISED after talking to feminists.. Its probably bc you know what you are doing is WRONG. Second, if youre DEHUMAIZED how do you think thats ok to do, even if you dont you SUPPORT other girls in doing it. And WOW ppl really want to find out where…

This is being spun as a way to battle human trafficking but I can’t help but think that many women being trafficked don’t have the choice to carry a condom for use. I can’t help but feel that people pay for them partially because people don’t care enough to protect them.

This is insane. Right out of The Handmaid’s Tale. SINCE WHEN ARE CONDOMS ILLEGAL?

Pssst...they don’t know that the Jesus stuff is a myth. They think it’s real!

You know what, that’s true in most myths. You can’t read a Greek Myth without Zeus turning himself into a bull and raping every virgin in sight. Weird.

Yup, it’s not fun to continue to disassociate with my Church and my culture, but it’s just not a safe place for women.

Although my parents weren’t religious, they were terrified that my sister and I were going to have sex while we lived at home. My brothers, on the other hand, could travel halfway across the world because “boys are safe.” They convinced us our lives would be over if we had sex. My mother even went as far as to tell me…

The sexual abuse within the church is a feature, not a bug. Women are inherently inferior to men, and men own them sexually. Those beliefs, no matter how much they are couched in softer words, lead to abuse, period. Anyone who has read the bible knows that is not an accident, considering the book is full of slaves and…

So, to recap: If you are a sex worker, you are automatically a bad person and a liar. So if someone rapes you, robs you, or cheats you in some way, you should not be believed. A sex worker not to be believed, so you can commit any crime against them you want. That’s what I’m getting from Rudy.

I wanted to let the folks over here (i.e. the politically aware) about a somewhat horrific thread on a related board, echoing some of Mr. Giuliani’s attitudes toward women and a general knee-jerk male push back against a woman seeking some recognition from a sexual harasser. The context is a late-night nightclub…

I’d think cheating on your wife and using public money to do it and then concealing that spending activity would make one less credible, but apparently it gets you a job in this White House.
