…51% of the population is being removed from said competition. Will this make the poor widdle guys happy? I doubt it. They never wanted to share — they want it all, and sharing anything with anyone else is just sooooo unfair.

Dobbs was the giant earthquake under the ocean. The waves of the tsunami are being felt bit by bit. If contraception is made illegal/unavailable once more, that really will be the Great Wave that washes away all of our gains over the last century and a half.

We will be enslaved by our biology, just as the First Wave Feminists pointed out 2 centuries ago. But not men —tra-la.
