It is not my text, but I agree with it wholehartedly. It is not so much a ‘stupid men’ thing (although 98% of all violence comes from men) it is about how ridiculous it is that men can go out and buy guns like the automatic ones which are ONLY used to kill large amounts of people (so run by me again why you would buy this gun?) without any cooldown time or any question. While women who got pregnant by bad luck or stupidity have to go through this intense and often shaming procedure. As Bernie says: if men were getting pregnant, abortion would have been a right centuries ago.
Please note: I do not think abortion is a good thing, I think education of kids, boys and girls from early age on is a good thing. It is horrible to have to undergo an abortion and it should absolutely be a last resort. However: it is the right of the women to decide. Always, up to 3 months that is.
We have sex education in The Netherlands at schools and we have one of the lowest percentages of teenage pregnancies. ‘Sex’ education starts at age 4 with lessons about ‘Do you know what cuddling is?’ ‘Do you like to cuddle? ‘What do you do if somebody wants to cuddle and you don’t?’
Those teenagers who do get pregnant do so because they were not allowed to follow the lessons / live in a shaming culture which does not speak about sex. 😦 / or want to get out of school and prefer wellfare over working. 😦
I so hope that there will be changes to the gun laws in the USA. 😦 And to the abortion laws for that matter. Well, to a whole lot of laws :-). But that is not my concern. 🙂

Yes! Well said! It does seem to be mostly men are buying these guns. They should experience what so many women go through.
