Have you read the study of how many women admit to faking orgasms? Just saying - I know a lot of women who do

This times eleventy billion. It’s seen as cute and charming when my husband dresses our daughter in clothes that make her look like a walking garage sale and hair that looks like a cave woman. The ladies at her playgroup will comb it and style it for him while simpering about him being a great dad who is trying. Me?…
These Republican politicians/pundits are “pro-life” right up until the time their mistresses or daughters become pregnant. Then they can’t hustle them to the clinic fast enough.
You don’t fault him too much? Those embryos went untouched for several years and it was only after she dumped him and moved on to someone else that suddenly he cares about those “precious children”. By all accounts this guy was an abusive, alcoholic, drug abusing, unfaithful prostitute loving shitbag and this is…
She agreed to create the embryos with the contract in place. If the man had said “no, I want the right to create your biological children regardless of how you feel, whenever,” she probably would not have made the embryos. If we’re going by what “sounds fair”, as it seems you are, is it fair to her for her to do…
Anecdotal evidence, for what it’s worth: When my husband travels with our two kids, people bend over backward to help him. No one ever tries to help me when I travel with them.
My brother gets really annoyed when people ask if he’s babysitting his kids. Of course he bloody isn’t, they are his sodding children he’s parenting, now when I have them it’s babysitting.
Tangentially related: men are lauded for performing the bare minimum of child care even with a partner. “Oh, hubby stayed home with the baby so you could get a pedicure for an hour? What a gem! What an amazing husband and father!” “He does middle of the night diaper changes!? How literally amazing!!”
I agree, a man who looks after their children alone is seen as a goddamn saint; where as women who look after their children alone are failing somehow.
When pregnancy no longer carries a 1 in 10,000 risk of death, 25% chance of requiring abdominal surgery, risk of haemorrhage, blood clots, stroke, cardiomyopathy, infection, eclampsia, infection, permanent damage to bladder, bowel, continence and sexual function, a good chance of post partum depression and a 1 in 500…
That was so well said I kind of want to get it tattooed on my lower back.
It’s interesting how that argument is almost never made for men, isn’t it? Women aren’t supposed to have sex unless they’re prepared to gestate, birth, and spend at least 18 years raising a child. Having sex without being willing to take that on makes them dirty, irresponsible sluts. But poor men have no say…
Or maybe guys who are pro-life should not sleep with women who aren’t. Maybe guys who are pro-life should wait for marriage. Men do have control of where they ejaculate their sperm. They need to start taking responsibility and stop acting like such victims.
It’s SIGNIFICANTLY worse for women, to the point that the comparison is seriously asinine, but since that wasn’t the main thrust of your comment, it’s not really worth arguing about. You’re still completely disregarding pregnancy and birth, and suggesting that being angry at a woman for not happily volunteering to…
I’ve always held the belief that men do have ‘the right to choose’. They have the right to choose who they ejaculate in. If you are fiercely pro-life, don’t ejaculate in a woman who is likely to abort an accidental pregnancy. Find someone who shares your views or better yet, wait for marriage if you really think…
What you are talking about and the Sofia Vergara/Nick Loeb situation are totally different. Nobody is pregnant in their case. The fight is over what to do with two frozen embryos that they both signed a contract not to touch. Nick Loeb is now trying to back out of that.
Single parenthood really isn’t stigmatized for men, first of all. We demonize single mothers, but we treat single fathers like heroes.
I think destigmatizing single parenthood and encouraging adoption agencies to adopt out to (good, stable) single dads is a great idea.
I would feel bad for a man if he got a woman pregnant and he wanted to keep it and she got an abortion, but I honestly wouldn’t feel all that bad and I would ultimately be on her side.…
When you can change how dangerous and uncomfortable pregnancy and childbirth can be, then we can begin to have a conversation about this. Until then, you don’t get to make my medical decisions for me.
“Doctor” Ablow is the worst garbage human pretending to be a doctor on this green earth, and this universe also contains a “doctor” Oz, so that’s really saying something. I’m incapable of directly wishing harm on anyone, but if he were to accidentally fall into an active volcano I wouldn’t exactly be clawing the…
