Reproductive Coercion: When Men Sabotage Birth Control

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

You clearly feel very strongly about this. Could you please explain more fully why you feel that reproductive coercion is a symptom of so-called "liberal stupidity"?

Also, feminists have wings now? Hm. Where the heck are MY wings then?

equating it to domestic violence is absurd.

Maven(The) - hang on a mo - I get the gut feeling that Nature Boy went through the entire labeling of genus and specie -

ie -

not many feminists are wing bats

not many feminists are morons

so it's a very small grouping, out of all of the feminists, for the

moronic winged-batted feminists population count.

I say relax - is quite possible he did not mean ALL feminists...

I could, of course, be dead wrong, as well.

Very logical. But I want my wings!

What is the definition of "domestic violence," or "violence" for that matter, in this context?

[Darnell 8,478]

Uggg. shudder, even.

See, I found the 'Hannibal' series on my on-demand system recently, tried to watch all of them over a 3 day period (I'm retired recently, and have the time).

aiyo ! one of the episodes was about 'wings'. I've been holding my hands to my face about this gore stuff.

Maybe give Nature Boy a Pass?

I finally have some time on my hands after 3+ 10/11 workdays. I'm just stirring the pot.

[Darnell 8,478]

OK, sure. I note some women do have wings, tis a unique anatomical feature.

I won't ask you about yours, directly.

Lets balance this with the women who actively attempt to get pregnant without the man's upfront agreement. (Other than agreeing to have sex)

In this idea of coercion what's the upside for the man, the actual reproduction of an offspring...and of course the inevitable child support and custody battle?

I haven't met any men who desperately wanted to procreate with a woman who was trying to avoid pregnancy. Does it happen, I'm sure it has...but it's also happened in reverse more often in my experience.

Not sexist, based on personal observation only.

Just my two cents...

[ready4ONE 5,400]

The whole thing is bizarre.

[elmcitymaven 9,712]

Do you doubt that it happens? Clearly it is an issue if health professionals are beginning to counsel patients. Does this mean that men doing this are worse than women doing the same to men? Nope. Regardless of gender, this behaviour is despicable.

I'm guessing a lot of these are married folks. You're right though in context to single guys. Never met one that would purposely get his wife preggers

Word!

I disagree on this one, buddy.

Psychological battery falls under the realm of domestic violence in many states,

and

it's my opinion that reproductive coercion without physical assault is one form of psychological battery,

which falls under the realm of domestic violence in many states.

I gots the linkages, how 'bout you?

So having sex with your partner doesn't come with some inherent risk of pregnancy all by itself?

Poking a hole in a contraceptive isn't domestic violence. Wanting to have a child isn't a DV act, even if expressing that desire with an unwilling partner doesn't fall within that designation. The only act that is DV is actual threats or emotional abuse to obtain the pregnancy. That goes both ways.

In short, if don't want to get pregnant, stop having sex or find a sterile partner. Aside from that, it's always been a risky endeavor, so don't blame the swimmers finding the egg...that's what they do.

If your partner wants a child and you don't...how about you both finding a more compatible situation?

[Darnell 8,478]

RGinWA - ya, i understand your point of view - it's just that it's not MY point of view.

No worries, there, at all.

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

Really? So this is saying that women are unable to control their birth control. So let me throw out options for the poor uninformed and less than intelligent women and the clueless doctor...

Shots

Implanted Birth control

IUD

Diaphram

morning after pill

buying their own condoms

Saying "NO"

Never fails to amaze me how much feminists hate women.

Sounds like...could be...YES, it is!!!!!!!!! CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!

Women are capablw of making choices, I am pretty sure of it.
