This is ideologically heretical, in the same way that paper abortions are ideologically heretical. As I have been told straight to my face, “Men should not ever have this kind of freedom, as it oppresses women and is literal misogyny.”
I am paraphrasing - in that second sentence - what several feminists once told me (about two decades ago) during a discussion on birth control. And from what I have seen since then, this is an extremely popular sentiment among feminists.
To experience this yourself, just bring up any positive support for paper abortions for men - which mostly equalizes abortion rights between the genders in places where women can freely abort - and enjoy the anti-male gender bigotry and vitriolic hate being spewed at you.
- nineteen999 2y agoThat's very interesting, I'd never heard of the term "paper abortion" before, thank you for sharing. I don't know or hang around any radical feminists as it's not a good use of my time and energy, but thank you for having those conversations with them so that I don't have to.
