We should be celebrating the fact that young women are postponing or opting out of pregnancy at historically high rates, this is an insane way to talk about women exercising their bodily autonomy
i also hate that we have to defend BC used for sexual freedom with “ppl take it for non sexual reasons” which is very true and important but also ppl shouldn’t have a problem with being used for sexual freedom
Then the solution is to break up with the men instead of acting like birth control itself and wanting condomless sex are the problem. The root cause here is a bad boyfriend and a lack of boundaries. Young women are struggling to stand up for themselves.
the male-centred framing of women taking control of their fertility is so bizarre. reducing reproductive autonomy to its utility to men is such a peculiar way to understand women’s choices. god forbid a woman exercises agency.
Not all women enjoy condom sex. Some really, really don’t want to get pregnant and use multiple methods. Either way being able to control when you have kids and how many changed women’s lives and these anti BC takes are weird considering abortion rights are being threatened
