Which is great, but it seems that nobody is guaranteeing freedom of action to men.
Just as women should have the freedom from parenthood, so should men. But if a woman chooses to have a child, the man is still compelled to fatherhood, at least from a financial perspective.
And in France specifically, you have no right to know if you are actually the presumed father via paternity test.
So while this is some degree of progress, the already-enormous disparity of reproductive rights has widened even more.
- fennecbutt 3y agoYeah, as a gay man I believe that men who have sex with women shouldn't be compelled into fatherhood just because they had sex, if that wasn't the intention. Cruely, the answer usually seems to be "Well, don't have sex then". The only reproductive right men have at all is the choice to use the limited birth control available to them (condoms). If they are lied to about their partner being on birth control then they are automatically out of the picture when it comes to choice around "what happens after". I would love to see a birth control pill for men, though the typical sexist response to that I've heard from many women is "men would just forget to take it as if we could trust them". Tables turning.
