because religion (implicating the morality of women having non-procreative sex) has NOTHING AT ALL to do with patriarchy.

Because no freaking pharmaceutical company (TOP TEN HEADED BY DUDES because girls can't do math except, i dunno, when they can) sees fit to invest in additional male forms of birth control. And funny how there is no rallying cry from the menz about how oppressed they are for not having more reversible options of…

That is a huge fucking "if." And you are ignoring, once again, that the Pill isn't just about PROCREATION. But what is woman if not a baby machine.

DUDE IF WE DIDN'T LIVE IN PATRIARCHY WHY IS IT, DO YA THINK, THAT "THERE IS NO MALE BIRTH CONTROL"?

And so what does that mean when someone who is deeply misogynist kills women because they are female? Are we…
