Just curious as to what the male reaction would be if women in a position to legislate control of their body and family planning were seeking to do that all across the country by enacting laws with lifelong consequences for you.

He seems to think women have been telling him what he can't do with his body parts.

I was hoping he'd elaborate.

And evidently considers that comparable to telling him what to do with his body, or he would not have responded to the question that way.

What would they do if they could? I'm drawing a blank.

The way it is, if women wanted control they could have control. But like dems, they are not united enough to take control, so who is in control is rich people who are legislating what we poor people can do.

5 male catholic men defied the constitution and decided. 90% of women use birth control in their lifetime. There is no fucking way that would have happened if males had to suffer the same consequences that females do from unwanted pregnancy.

yes, men have control over lots of stuff. That's the way it is. I say if women get united they can take control. Are you saying that is false?

The knee-jerk misandry is getting old. Please stop.

Women in charge of health care, they can't make it worse than it already is! I think they would do a better job anyhow.
