I grew up in a very conservative town and in debate class my partner and I were assigned abortion. I've been pro-choice since I was 16(the first time I thought about the subject). So we argued for choice and the other team argued against abortion rights and all the other team had to say was, "the bible says abortion…

Sure the woman might need a few weeks to recover but it's child care that requires a lot of time off work. Not to mention women generally get sick less than men, we have better immune system and we are less likely to catch diseases. Men are also more likely to catch viral and bacterial infections than women. So the…

If canada gave 6 months leave to the mother and 6 months leave to the father instead of 1 year to split however they want, then more fathers will take paternity leave.

If canada gave 6 months leave to the mother and 6 months leave to the father then more fathers will take leave.

So you want your kid to resent their dad? Kids also want their daddies. Which is why both parents need to take time out for child care and spend quality time with their children. Studies show spending any amount of hours with your kids doesn't do much good, it's about spending quality time with your children and…

Did you know, for every young woman with a new child, there's a young man with a new child?! If we are a society that values children then men and women would both need to take time off to provide childcare for their children.

Since a man can't get pregnant, a man can't ask for maternity leave.

There was another difference in Solange's case and this case. One is about domestic abuse of a spouse/partner and the other is a fight between in-laws. If a male was to swing his arms at an in-law I would feel the same way about the incident as I did when Solange did it. It wouldn't matter if the male was swinging at…

umm because the two cases are not the same. I don't think hitting someone is ever okay. No matter who it is, I only find it acceptable as a last resort to defend yourself. I thought Slonge behavior was reprehensible. I got into a fight with one of my good guy friends, who thought Jay Z probably deserved it and I told…

I'm sorry but how someone feels emotionally doesn't trump science. Just because someone feels a certain way doesn't make it true. My friends are smart enough to know what their fetus is so I don't need to tell them. You're right about one thing though, the gifts i bring are not for a clump of cells. The gifts are…

A. I didn't bring up abstinence, i brought up teaching abstinence only sex ed. B. If people think abstinence is a method of contraception then they're already wrong. Look up the definition of contraption. See this is what happens when people aren't given proper sex ed.

That's not done to make their wieners more attractive or out of pressure from the opposite sex or done in adult age through a very costly procedure. That being said, people should look into the reason for why they do that to their new born sons and think about it hard before going through with it.

The reason a lot of people get infuriated when someone suggests the steps women should take to protect themselves is because every woman already knows that stuff. Like I sad we really do have people telling us, don't walk alone, watch your drink.... all the time!! I first heard it around the time i started puberty and…

This advice works just like as much as abstinence only advice works. It Doesn't! Telling a girl about all the precautions she can take one more time when she has heard it about 100 times that year already probably won't help. I'm not saying stop giving kids this advice, i'm saying we already get it a lot! It's nothing…

Trust me dude we hear it enough! All that says is this method isn't working. It's like saying abstinence only education, which is already taught but has little positive results, just needs to be taught more so it works. No! We need a different approach and method. I am not over exaggerating, we really do hear this…

No one should have sex with someone who is incoherent. Whether you're incoherent from drinking, some sort of sedative, or an injury whatever.. bottom line is consent can't be given in that condition. It's not easy to know how much someone has had to drink or how alcohol effects that person but if you're coherent…

because we're already told that. We're already told not to drink too much, watch our drinks, to be careful of our actions so it doesn't seem like we're inviting any unwanted attention, not to be alone ect. This already happens and has been happening. Every girl in this country has heard this advice (unless she was…

Intent matters

The irony is if he didn't want the attention then he shouldn't have harassed a woman on the street. She didn't ask to be harassed by him in public. He catcalled her without her permission and made her feel uncomfortable in public. Maybe now he understands and he'll have more empathy. Not to mention in his case he's…

If it were a white dude, go ahead and shame them all you want. If it's a minority male, maybe your efforts are better spent ignoring it...
