Laura Bates, the founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, says that it seems to be increasingly difficult to talk about sexism, equality, and women's rights in a society that perceives to have achieved gender equality. "In this 'liberal', 'modern' age, to complain about everyday sexism or suggest that you are unhappy about the way in which women are portrayed and perceived renders you likely to be labeled 'uptight', 'prudish', a 'militant feminist', or a 'bra burner,'" she explained.

But just like Bates, there are plenty of women who prove this notion wrong. And you can find many of them on the subreddit r/TrollXChromosomes. It's an online community that invites to "come for the period comics" and "stay for the cultural awareness", and many, in fact, do — the subreddit has over 817K members. The content they share and produce tackles important gender issues in all sorts of fields, including sports, health care, and work.

The reversibility of vasectomy decreases exponentially over time

Many people will say, "Well, sometimes the vasectomy can't be reversed. Are you going to doom that young man to a life of infertility?!" But what about the young girl who was forced to give birth far too young and now can never give birth again? Or died giving birth?

It is true that sometimes vasectomies cannot be reversed and I think this is a poor argument because of that. Just allow the person whose body it is to decide whether they have an abortion. The 24th week seems a reasonable point at which to limit abortion.

Nope, didn't make me even the slightest bit uncomfortable. Free vasectomies all around, particularly if mandatory, would solve a lot of issues and hurt no one. But, as long as we're at it, we might as well extend it to women as well. Doing both would drastically reduce the number of babies murdered (both before and after birth) and the number of children abused or abandoned. I also believe the procedure should be free but the reversal should not.

Now that I have thought about this, making access to vasectomies should be pushed for more. At 18 I never really considered that as an option. And while I know it hasn't stood the judicial test in the past, I am not so sure it would truly be a "cruel or unusual" punishment for deadbeat dads. Especially for those offenders that are fathering a bunch of kids and not providing/ caring for them. This may not be a popular opinion, but I think we overlook the right of a child to have someone make sure they have opportunities to succeed in life. IMO, if you make the choice to have sex in such a manner that could result in a child, you have the obligation to provide for it (and hopefully want to be a part of its life). If a man chooses to disregard this obligation, I am not so sure how unethical it is to prevent him from repeating this crime. To me, society's obligation is more to the person that had no decision in the consequences of an action than to the one whose decisions led to harm.

While I'm 100% pro-choice, it's dishonest to say that vasectomies are reversible. Fertility isn't always restored, especially after long periods of time. Interestingly, there is a product called Vasalgel that I believe is currently in animal trials... it is a gel injected into the vas deferens that kills spermatozoa, lasts for approximately 10 years, and is 100% reversible.

Um, vasectomies are reversible , but you're still likely to not have a high enough sperm count to conceive naturally. Women's bodies should only be regulated by themselves, but we also shouldn't spout bs like it's facts, just to fit our narrative

I have been saying this for years. But I also add when a woman states in writing that she wants to bear his child, the state mandated vasectomy can be reversed. Vasectomy is both the best form of birth and abortion control! Every one who is against abortion should be 100% for this, the best solution. The remaining abortions early terminations are for wanted pregnancies that have gone wrong and are no longer a viable option for foetus and or woman.

I've shared and reshared this meme on Fb many many times. You don't have a uterus then shut TFU! These supposed law makers, esp that idiot in Texas, that really don't know squat about reproductive anything spouting a bunch of hooey about all life being precious. Well there is another meme that was released and a religious historian cobbled together a bunch of passages from the Bible that supposedly came from God on high refuting that notion. Made my day because as a gay man I thought I knew allot about the bible as I've had to too defend myself at times when folks were coming for me on line or in real life but never thought there would be any mentioning of abortion in the bible but there are many passages about if the fetus wasn't born of love get rid of it and much more.

I would go for male birth control pills or other methods but vasectomies are often not reversible. I'd like to see birth control in the drinking water so there are no unwanted pregnancies.

Slarty Bartfast

I had my snip when I was in my 20's. I knew I wouldn't make a good Dad, and I was very well aware, even back then in the early 90's that overpopulation was destroying the planet. So rather than risk an unwanted pregnancy, and risk my wife's health to contraceptive side-effects, I just got on and did what needed doing. It's not a very dignified procedure, and there was some prolonged discomfort, but not a big deal. I think most men are complete cowards. It should be on record however that not all reversals work. The longer you've been vasectomised, the higher the chance that you will be permanently sterile.

First of all: a vasectomy is not always reversible. Second: if the issue was controlling women‘s bodies and reproductive rights, then the discussion would be about birth control. The abortion discussion is about protecting the human life of the unborn child people intend to kill. And don’t tell me now that why then not protect that child after it is born also, because I AM in favor of protecting and assisting the child and parents after it is born as well.

So, your solution to this is a procedure that easily reversed if you are wealthy, but out of reach if you arent 'of means', and easily denied by withholding medical access in areas that are 'less favourable'. Oh, and you'd apply it to all people seeking asylum in USA too. It may surprise you, but you'd probably get a lot of support for this idea from both sides.

If you don't know different between sperm, egg and fertilized egg/fetus, go back to school. Seriously, no, that is SO wrong. Abortion is NOT anticonception method because it happens after conception. Therefore abortion is not the same as vasectomies (which prevents conception because there is no sperm). Female "version" od vasectomies is tubal ligation. There is no male "version" of abortion because conception and pregnancy only happens in women. You cannot compare that, that's illogical

I'm pro-choice, but a shitty argument is a shitty argument... When you propose and then argument the point all by yourself, it makes all of it seem a bit less valid. If we're now considering the male "the source," then doesn't that mean that he should have control over the decision to abort? If one's argument is that they're protecting the baby from a procedure over which it has no control, wouldn't being against the forced vasectomies go along with their belief? Wouldn't forced sterilization of a male until he is financially fit lead to forced sterilization of mothers, too? What a dumbass argument.

How about make pre-marital sex illegal. That way both responsible parties can raise the child in jail. What is that? Accountability making you uncomfortable? Than mind your own business. In short: Don't have sex all willie-nillie and then blame some one else when you get pregnant.

Mewton’s Third Paw

Because people want to have sex before marriage or some people never want to get married but still have sex. Also married people want abortions. You sound super clueless and backwards. Trying to get an abortion doesn’t mean you’re blaming anyone. What a childish way to think. You don’t blame people for other medical procedures like fillings or colonoscopy. Also your quip about minding your own business didn’t work in context. Total non sequitur. You can’t tell people to mind their business while trying to ban things just because you don’t want them (sex and abortions). Conservatives truly are the dumbest people alive.

    One of the scariest things about the Sarah Everard case is the fact that it was an off duty police officer who killed her. A policeman who had been spoken to about indecent exposure a week or so before. Girls are taught to find a police officer if we feel unsafe, who do we go to now.

    It's good to realize that though. Stop those shows with you. It's also why it's so important to reread your childhood storybooks with your current awareness before reading them to your kids. Some of them have themes you really don't want to pass down.

    It's weird the reaction a woman gets when she walks into a comic book store (alone that is). If you get a chance, check that out. If there are no ladies already in the shop it's almost like you spooked a herd of deer.

    I think it's important to note that men are actually wired this way. My mom made a decent feminist out of me. Try to do half the work in the household, paternity leave for a total of 2 years (2 kids) ... I'd say I'm firmly in the feminist camp. Yet I still notice that first impressions are always base emotions such as "I'd hit that". I notice that it's just what my lizard brain tells me ... it's my conscious decision not to be a creep about it and behave normally. What I'm trying to say is that boys are not so much "taught" to be creeps, they're "not taught" how to behave properly, "not taught" that we're not cavemen anymore.

    I dumped one my best friend, not for being a sex offender, but for simply not having respect for his fiancee and sleeping around. And for disparaging me for not wanting to behave in a similar fashion. I tried being tactful about it at first and tell him that I wasn't ok with his behaviour but eventually had to block him, in his mind "out of the blue." One of our mutual friends had no idea what he was doing and told me he was heartbroken and fell into depression for having lost my friendship. Then I told her why, and she blocked him too. I'm not saying I've always been the ideal role model, but at least I can recognize the errors of my past and work towards rectifying my shortcomings. Edit: spelling

    It was at a church festival, I was 9 or 10 years old. There was can-throwing, and every time I bent down for the ball, a repulsive older guy grabbed my bum and groaned intrusively. He did this with all the children, boys and girls. Fortunately, I didn't live far away and ran home quickly to tell my mom all this. She tried to hold the guy accountable, but he had disappeared.

    According to a quick Google search, there are roughly 50 million trans people on the planet. Don't come into these comments with your story of a handful of people with felonies who did this once. Y'all, we're talking 50 million people being denied the right to pee because of a few weirdos. If ALL men or ALL women were banned from public restrooms because some men/women did something inappropriate, y'all would be pretty upset, right? Don't punish everyone for what you fear from a few. You're not the gender police. Let people pee.

    I remember 15 years ago when I was in high school, the girl who got pulled out of class the most for dress code violations was a burn victim. Looking back, that girl clearly lived through some s**t and was trying to reclaim her own skin. There was zero reason for adults to keep interrupting her education to punish her for that.

    Or hiring people that don't have a single clue just to have diversity in their company. Promoting people just to fill quotas will hurt all workers if said people can't do their job. Purely making such things depending on the abilities to get the job done without considering everything else should be the goal
