76. But of course; can't expect "men" to be responsible. Let women destroy
their health with hormones! I feel sorry for these girls, not being informed of the risks, not having whatever feelings they have about the carcinogens doctors continue to stuff in the bodies of women respected, being told this is the only way. Fellas? They're called vasectomies. Because the majority of men won't be mature enough to get them or take responsibility for their own biological potential to create unintended pregnancies the way society expects women to keep doing, despite what it does to our long-term general and sexual health, this is what we've come to. Fuck Patriarchy. Fuck the myth that hormonal contraceptives are the only way and that women shouldering the sole burden for the prevention of pregnancy is the only way. Fuck people who don't respect women, or think damaging a woman's health is acceptable as long as she doesn't get pregnant. I'm all for freedom of choice, but these stories reflect the tragic lack of choice for today's women. I doubt these girls were given enough information to make a valid choice and I doubt the health care providers who manipulated them into this shit give a rat's ass about them. Sad.
