And they give birth through a pseudo penis that is torn apart.

I don’t think it brings anything useful to the conversation, but it is an interesting fact.

Are you a hyena?

You're way behind. That's why laws approved are no longer named after what they really do. Who decides that a specific law harms a specific population? The same people approving them... So... Yeah.

Boynecologist and boybortion should be Guynecologist and aboytion.

Just saying.

I want a transexual goth girlfriend…

Please. Men vastly outnumber women in the legislature. If those numbers flipped there would be DRASTIC change.

I was thinking the same thing. First something about moths(I don't really get what that was about), then Loss, now this. What's next?

Someone is running a propaganda campaign, most likely. Shaping hearts and minds.

idiots tend to propagate stupid ideas because it makes them feel smart.

it's not like this 'if men got pregnant' line of thinking is anything new, it's been around since forever.

This is 100% true and factual.

This here. If men would give birth, they would be women.

So much of what makes up the differences between the male and female experiences is down to the fact that women give birth.

If it was the men who gave birth and not the women, we'd have pretty much everything we have now, just gender-reversed.

if both sexes were hermaphroditic, then there would be less conflict as in other animals whom posesses both sexes gonads.

Not to mention that it's also about agency. Abortion restrictions or criminalisation is a matter of exerting control over people with a uterus.

Then no one would have problems getting an abortion

You're joking but maybe that's exactly the reason why men always had it easier in history. They didn't have to spend 9 months × child suffering + menstrual cycle every month

Why

I was thinking this for a second, but the factor that makes this true is the near monopoly on violence that men have. So, theoretically as long as they still corner of the market on violence I think this would hold true in that theoretical society

Having been present for an abortion please do tell.

How so?

men have the anti-mullerien hormone from the Y chromosone to stop female secondary characteristics during fetal development. rarely there are disorders that prevent that gene from activating or it goes missing and they develop as a female, minus having the extra biological X CHromosone.

I need to know more about this.

You never see legislation on condoms.

The Republic of Ireland wants to speak to you.

Condoms are balloons that just fit your penis, lol. Jk. This world is f-d up.

Not here but in Africa the Catholic Church pushed for total bans on birth control, condoms included, official in some places and socially in others. The result was huge spikes in HIV across swaths of Africa.

Also don't be surprised if there is eventually a ban on all both control, not because of actual theocratic desire, but because billionaires don't want us to have any. Deep down they know LLMs will not lead to AI powerful enough to replace all workers, like they were hoping for a few years back, so they know they need human slaves. They use evangelical idiocy to spur up theocratic chuds and convince the masses, they're one of them. But these assholes have no set ethics or morals, good or bad, just greed and powerlust.

I bet they are planning all sorts of ways to force us to have future slaves for them. Not saying it will work, I think population decline is unavoidable and not that bad tbh, but they will absolutely try.

Sexism is the strongest of all oppression. It is the most common, widespread, and ignored of all oppression and causes a huge amount of human suffering.

When women are dehumanized it usually relies on the prejudices that have been developed and reinforced through culture. So I think the essential concept is the driving force.

The devaluing of domestic labor is a side effect of a class of people without rights viewed as property.

I wonder if maybe women would have more time and energy to do the actual pursuing then, instead of being sidelined, oppressed, saddled with the labor of care work which is necessary for the continuation of the human race. Are you saying birthing men wouldn’t take on that care work?

If there are clinics, coat hangers wouldn’t be needed.

The only reason women resort to inserting coat hangers into their uterus and endangering their lives is because of lack of access to healthcare. It’s not like a fun activity to do with your girlfriends.

At the barbecue, flipping burgers, one of the guys comes over with his phone, “Look at the size of this one I got out”, and flaunts about his new torque tools.

I went to a pro-choice march in my city and made a sign that said

"If men could get pregnant
You'd get abortions
With your oil change"

And I feel like that makes about the same point. Men wouldn't tolerate carrying an unwanted pregnancy if men had to deal with pregnancy.

That’s a good quote. Maybe it was rolling around somewhere in my subconscious.

ETA: or maybe I am the cab driver mentioned in the article.

Obviously 🤣

And I dare to venture a guess that trans men who get pregnant likely have much more shit to deal with than cis women.

Believe it or not, there are some men who want kids.
