We can do everything they do

Above is a link to quite possible the most offensive articles I’ve ever read. A friend of mine posted in on Facebook and as I read it my jaw literally dropped open. I wouldn’t consider my self a full fledged feminist because I find some of the ideas to be a little extreme, but I have always believed that any lady can do whatever a man can do, and that although we are different we should be treated equally. This article, which I’m assuming is written by a man, is horrific. It talks about “things women do that should be shameful” . One particular point made that stood out to me as seriously offending was “ Birth control, because its their choice.” The author of this article basically says that women have the option to trick a man into having a baby, and all men have is a condom to protect them. The author also says that they should stop making pills and use money to create a birth control for men. I think this is incredibly offensive because I don’t know many women who “ trick” men into having a baby, and men always have the option of using a condom. A women on the other hand should have the right to birth control for many reasons, two being to regulate her menstrual cycle, and mainly to protect her from having a baby. A man, while it would be equally his child, would not be the one to carry around a baby for nine months and his life wouldn’t be completely altered. It is a women’s choice and it is ridiculous, in my opinion, that anyone would think it should be a mans.
