Reply #34: ah, the responsibility card [View All]

birth control is
ultimately the woman's responsiblity.

Mm hmm.

And to whom does she owe this "responsibility"?

"To herself", will you say? And is it now your job to tell me what my responsibilities to myself are?

I'd have said, rather, birth control is ultimately a woman's choice.

part of it should be choosing men who will wear a freakin condom.

Have you ever considered wasting less of your time and effort making rules for other people to follow in matters that are none of your business?

in a situation like this, where one woman has presumably had sex with multiple partners and is contemplating another notch in the abortion pole, i'd say she bears a good bit of responsiblity for the situation.

And again I'd say: who the fuck cares what you'd say?

If someone like the woman in question (or at least like the description we've been given of the woman in question) actually asked me my opinion about her situation (and I can't imagine why she would), I might say that I don't regard some of her past choices as wise ones. As far as I can tell, I don't have sufficient information about anybody to have such an opinion, and nobody has asked me for it anyhow.
