from what i can tell there were about 6 million deadbeat dads circa 2005. #idiocy

But, I said, who would date such a person? Do they hide the fact? She said the guys do not appear to worry. They have unlimited confidence in how any woman would be willing to give up children to be with them, in their awesomeness. #idiocy

The vast majority of doctors do not want to sterilize childless young people. #idiocy

Let's not pretend the condom is a miracle that all men will cherish. Tulsi just said that a male pill wouldn't have the man blaming the women. What did she do, hide his pills? Drink all his Gatorade?
Please. #idiocy

Take responsibility now, put on a gd condom. Condoms come in flavors, so does lube, if the smell/taste factors so strongly into your antipathy. As far as really wanting "bare pussy", stfu. If you think that women taking artificial hormones every single day doesn't affect their sex drives, appetites, and sensations you're an idiot. This is a compromise adults make when they're being responsible.
You're welcome. #idiocy

A man can easily put on a condom to take control of the situation, correct. But he has the right to a pill, and a right to have it manufactured and looked upon as a real solution. What would have happened if science had said, "Why should we make a birth control pill, we already invented condoms?"
When I said a man has a right to feel bare pussy, I meant it. Just like a woman has the right to the pleasure of feeling bare dick. My opinion stands: more sexually active kids would use contraception if if didn't hinder the experience. Many people DO start wearing condoms, but than as the relationship goes on, they are curious to feel what it would be like without, and then you have the problem when she forgets a pill, or isn't "responsible" enough to have them.
Is the girl smart enough, brave enough (some girls are too scared to be scene in a clinic, let alone talk to their mother's/father's/guardian) to get on the pill? As unwanted pregnancy rates will tell you...a male pill would be a nice option.
Maybe I'm sexist, but judging from the men in my life, they would gladly weather out any embarrassment or shame waiting in line for their birth control pills then to knock up someone they love, who isn't ready. If both the male and female were on the pills responsibly, it would really help everyone involved.
You can say they have flavored lubes and condoms, that's all well and good, but maybe I don't want to taste some fake syrupy strawberry dick, and that's just me.
Now, I'm not an idiot. I guess your a fan of neither option: male or female pills. You don't like the thought of chemicals and hormones messing up people's bodies and minds.
It's a good point, but if you want to boycott my pill option, I'm going to have to shut you down right here. On my pill, I don't have mood swings, I don't have a lack of sexual interest, I come like a mad woman and I eat like I ate before I was sexually active.
I will admit I've been on a pill that negatively affected me before. Part of being responsible is being responsible to yourself and understanding yourself enough to spot the differences.
Are young men and women, the ones just starting to understand sex and themselves, too young to decide what option is best for them? No, they have a right to new information and new technologies, and just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I'm not going to stands up for the rights of men. #idiocy

Oh sorry, I assumed this was your argument against pills, because if it wasn't, it was just some unneeded factoid bullshit where you imply that I'm an idiot if I "didn't know". I gave you the benefit of the doubt, really.
I agree that it's irresponsible for a man to blame a woman solely for incorrectly used birth control or lack thereof. I have a sneaking suspicion that these sort of arguments are more popular in the club scenes where no one knows anyone else, and everyone assumes everyone else knows they aren't looking for a baby, just one night stands.
So the majority of these people (narcissists) who aren't capable of building a relationship with anyone are making excuses as to why none of this could possibly be their fault, at all.
Men can certaintly feel in control with condoms, it's just that some men feel more control when they don't have to do shit. It's the "woman's worry". These men aren't men at all, they're sacks of shit.
We can finally agree. #idiocy

Did he come inside her? Does he know how reproduction works? ... Then he wasn't tricked. While we all know fucked up people who deceive and manipulate other people in all sorts of fucked up ways, if you're not willing to have a child wear a condom. Or will any woman who accidentally gets pregnant on birth control and isn't willing to have an abortion now need to spend the rest of her life being accused of "tricking" some poor innocent man into a child? #idiocy

(*There is a huge margin between PLOTTING PLOTTING PLOTTING and just being kinda lazy about your pill until you get knocked up because you may as well have a baby. I doubt anyone's plotting. I think plenty of women are kind of lazy because it's not worth being hypervigilant when they're the one who wants a baby. Of course, one of the nice things about an IUD is that I will never get knocked up on a whim.) #idiocy
