If you step outside your bubble put your ear to the ground so to speak, you'll find the world isn't so black and white.

I have a friend who's a family attorney and I wish he was exaggerating about all the fucked up cases he tells me and his colleagues have. Women pulling every trick in the book in order to have a baby with an unwilling partner (of which include lying about being on birth control, and in one case, digging in the trash to get a used condom and attempting to get pregnant that way) more common than you think. In almost all instances, men are completely blindsided and then sucked dry by the courts.

You don't hear these kinds of talking points from feminists though. Equality in the court system simply isn't a priority to them.



You're making it sound like reproductive coercion is a one sided systemic attack by women against men.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reproductive_coercion

>Around 10% of U.S. men reported ever having an intimate partner who tried to get pregnant when they did not want to or stopped them from using birth control. Around 9% of U.S. women reported having an intimate partner who tried to get them pregnant when they did not want to or refused to use a condom.


it's not a systemic attack. it's people responding to incentives in the system that is presented to them.

when male birth control is available things are going to massively change, in a positive way.


I have a friend going through the court system as we speak, it has absolutely destroyed his life.
