Johari -
First of all - let’s be real. Both Lorelai and Rory could be in paper bags and still look gorgeous af. But that’s beside the point. Their choices made sense given their income, and the fact that it was the early 2000s.
You’re absolutely right. Right now, countries with virtually no teen pregnancies are the ones with comprehensive sex ed as well as free/affordable BC. A feminist utopia would have both and the numbers of teen pregnancies would reflect that.
