[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why dont we work on preventing pregnancies instead of focusing on abortion? Everyone should be given birth control for free.[/quote] Republicans don’t like that either.[/quote] This. Republicans don't want any women to be fully in charge of their bodies. [/quote]Why's that? The ultimate real reason please.[/quote] Misogyny.[/quote]Come on, you don't believe that do you?[/quote] You have a better reason? Please share. But I’ll tell ya this, if you have spent any time at all on Twitter, you know the answer is misogyny. [/quote] DP. I think it's more complex than just misogyny. It's about maintaining the patriarchy and re-establishing men (white men more specifically) as the "natural" leaders in business, government, academia. And I don't think all men are conscious of this/are pro-actively working in favor of it. But that doesn't mean it's not there. One thing you don't really hear discussed is the effect of the birth control pill on women's lives and that prior to that time "barefoot and pregnant" was a joke, but it wasn't entirely a joke. We don't talk about the fact that sexual dynamics, even within marriage, were skewed towards men's rights over women. If you can't control your fertility, and you can't entirely control when you have sex/can have it forced on you and then society mandates that you take care of the resulting child, then you were really trapped. Don't forget that 50 years ago women could not routinely have their own bank accounts, couldn't get credit, etc. either. If you want a time capsule of what the pill meant to women, and thus what it would mean to men to take it away, take a listen: [youtube]https://youtu.be/5DcdONaKSQM?feature=shared[/youtube][/quote] Again, you’re just describing the many layers of misogyny.[/quote] Wow. You've really added a lot to the discussion here. Thanks. [/quote]
