completely insane piece on how the pill "enslaves" women. but funny.

<snip>

What this case shows more than anything is how utterly enslaved women have become by being on the pill. They have become enslaved to technology, drug companies, and illusions of “sexual liberation,” all at the expense of their own true selves.

Women on the pill must rely on the integrity of a pharmaceutical company controlled most likely by fat men to keep their fertility in check.

By going on the pill, such women have simply handed over a core part of their femininity — their fertility and feminine health/well being — to be regulated by a profit-driven industry.

<snip>

What this case especially illustrates is how the pill has turned many women into haters of new life. While news of a newly created, totally unique, and unrepeatable human life should be a source of great joy, wonderment, and amazement, women on the pill see it as a source of anxiety, grief, trauma, and potentially a class action lawsuit.

While the creation of every new human life should viewed as a gift and be met with an expression such as “Thank God, humanity has a future; my little one will bring unique gifts and talents into this world,” women on the pill however target that new life for destruction through abortion.

the article is written by a man. And to him I'd like to say: Go fuck yourself with a rusty rake, honey.

Damn those fat guys. I think frankly any male who's not with 10% of their optimum should be locked up so the rest of us don't have to see them.

who wrote it considering he's excoriating men for purportedly trying to control women through birth control pills.

I trust you can see the irony in that. Or at least I hope you can.

I just twinge a little when I see men called out on stupid shit. It could have been a woman who said this just as easily.

Admittedly, it's a minor thing that just caught me the wrong way.

when I see folks on DU laying all the blame for the war on women's reproductive rights, I am wont to point out that there are plenty of women doing it too.

You left out the part about the 800 million lawsuit - wrongfully pregnant.


Edit to add - I'm just glad it wasn't about high schoolers fucking.

They are kept ignorant of such icky pursuits until just before their marriage to their life long partner. (just in case ---> )

For "Christian" fundamentalists, a woman should must be kept in her place (at home with the children).
