Men shouldn't be in control of other women this way.

I really don't think it's okay to frame people negatively that way. Just my two cents.

Regarding being self-centered and trying to control other peoples' bodies, it's fine to criticize that.

Unmarried and childless until almost 40.

My point was only that he has not had to even imagine dealing with the decisions involved in whether to continue a pregnancy, weighing physical and financial effects and potential hardships and even physical harm. But he wants to take that decision away from those having to make those decisions about those experiences.

I'm very sorry about the misunderstanding.

Not all of us are childless by choice. In my case, it's just how it worked out, financial reasons being right up there!

a war on men. You know women should control men's behavior. No more sex without sporting a condom, no more viagra, we decide when the men should be neutered (err I mean vasectomies), etc, etc!

Decades ago, I actually told one guy that if he continues to act like an animal, he ought to be treated like an animal. If he has no self-control, he should be neutered, just like I have done to my cat.

Women ALONE knows what's in our best interest. Not MEN!!!
