If all things were the same, but it was men who fell pregnant and gave birth, abortion clinics would be so standard they’d be on every corner, like McDonald’s. In fact, it’d be a sign of status to go to one.
Male 1: “I’m just off to the abortion clinic real quick.”
Male 2: “Oh nice, King. You’ve been busy.”
Male 1 leaves.
Male 3: “He’s so cool.”
You never see legislation on condoms.
Just birth control.
When it’s a man’s choice it’s uncontested.
But a woman shouldn’t have the same autonomy.
Condoms are balloons that just fit your penis, lol. Jk. This world is f-d up.
If men got their periods we’d have a shop vac attachment that got rid of it in a few seconds.
Did you know grey hyenas have a matriarchal society? Females are more aggressive, dominant and hold different social status to males. They aren’t less horrible than patriarchal hyenas.
The problem isn’t the males or the females. It’s that they’re hyenas.
And they give birth through a pseudo penis that is torn apart.
I don’t think it brings anything useful to the conversation, but it is an interesting fact.
This conversation is now about hyenas.
You’re way behind. That’s why laws approved are no longer named after what they really do. Who decides that a specific law harms a specific population? The same people approving them… So… Yeah.
Yeah but If you want empirical & objective quantification of harm, good luck.
I don’t see hyenas oppressing one another through systems of well orchestrated indoctrination. They may just nibble each other once in a while.
You’d be surprised of how complex and rich hyena society is.
It’s not that simple and I say that as a woman. It’s about ownership of the idea that having kids is a “right” even if no one likes you enough to want to carry your genes forward, putting health and body at risk to make it so. In addition to the lifelong commitment childbearing requires.
The fact that you have to take some degree of ownership of another human being to treat childbirth this way is obscene, but here we are. Roe fell.
It’s more about entitlement. I can’t conceive of doing the same in reverse positions.
Not to mention that it’s also about agency. Abortion restrictions or criminalisation is a matter of exerting control over people with a uterus.
Men can get pregnant if we want to get technical.
Boynecologist and boybortion should be Guynecologist and aboytion.
Just saying.
I want a transexual goth girlfriend…
I kind of think there should be a constitutional amendment preventing legislatures from passing laws restricting the rights on a protected class. Like men can’t vote on laws which take rights away from women. Or straight people can’t pass laws banning LGBTQ material.
Who gets to vote on what’s a protected class?
That’s fair, maybe of a different demographic (race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc… ) is better.
An interesting idea.
Maybe a whole host of homophobes would pretend to be gay to vote against something, but then realise they actually like this little “pretend” thing. They’d commit to it.

I went to a pro-choice march in my city and made a sign that said
“If men could get pregnant
You’d get abortions
With your oil change”And I feel like that makes about the same point. Men wouldn’t tolerate carrying an unwanted pregnancy if men had to deal with pregnancy.
That’s a good quote. Maybe it was rolling around somewhere in my subconscious.
ETA: or maybe I am the cab driver mentioned in the article.
There would be tactical coat hangers with camouflage paint for the DIY guys who like to work in their garages.
If there are clinics, coat hangers wouldn’t be needed.
The only reason women resort to inserting coat hangers into their uterus and endangering their lives is because of lack of access to healthcare. It’s not like a fun activity to do with your girlfriends.
Yeah but there’s plenty of hicks who would gladly shove a coat hanger in their urethra (I’m assuming that’s how this would work) before seeing some liberal doctor who is probably gonna sneak in a vaccine or something.
At the barbecue, flipping burgers, one of the guys comes over with his phone, “Look at the size of this one I got out”, and flaunts about his new torque tools.
