    The Lemmycels are pretty angry at this one, but on the other hand it’s pretty silly to trust dudes with birth control when you’re the one that gets pregnant.

      It’s a reductive argument. It suggests that the world actively decided to harm woman. A man not taking a contraceptive or forgetting to could inflict disproportionate harm on another person. There are many great reasons why it is the way it is.

      Also the numbers are all out of whack. It makes sense that some would argue against it.

        Sure, but as others have pointed out you’d still just end up with literally everyone on birth control.

        Which is fine. Certainly makes random failures less likely.

      People who didn’t make it beyond high school level biology think this meme is some sort of hard hitting argument 😆 it is much easier to control terminating 1-2 eggs in a cycle than millions of sperm without causing infertility.
