  It’s less of a conspiracy and more that it didn’t even occur to society until pretty recently (in historical terms) that reproduction isn’t solely a woman’s responsibility

  This is sexism. Its not true, as evidenced by the facts I gave to you that you obviously looked up to find out they were true, because you didnt push back on them. Things like this are why women are all terrified of men. Because people like you keep on pushing that narrative that men treat sex as something to do TO women, not WITH women.

  Once again, just because SOME men are pricks, doesnt make it OK for you or others to tar “ALL MEN” with their actions.

  Imagine what men might say about women, if we applied the actions of the few to the whole? What would we sound like? Incels… And we know what we all think about them, dont we…

    I said society. The word ‘men’ isn’t even in the thing I said that you quoted. Much less ‘all men’. Both men and women saw reproduction as a woman’s responsibility. Can you explain why that’s a sexist thing to say? Or, if it’s not true, why nobody tried to research male hormonal birth control at the same time they were researching female hormonal birth control?

    Also, I didn’t have to look that up. It’s common knowledge. But, as I said, there’s no reason to believe your claim that barrier methods were ever solely men’s responsibility. You didn’t even really offer evidence or a justification for that claim.

    I also never said men are pricks. I said that the responsibility to use barrier methods isn’t always on men and that women who have casual sex with men could easily confirm that. There’s people who are being responsible and people who are being irresponsible of any gender. Once again, I’m just taking issue with your claim that barrier methods are and always were men’s responsibility.
