and you shouldn't necessarily trust the woman to take care of it. i get very tired of the (albeit few) males in the fray who post about how women take advantage of them. of how she got pregnant on purpose and now he has to pay for it forever. of how she lied about it being his baby, etc...

if men had control of their own reproduction, these things would be a nonissue. the question is, since men have been the majority of scientists throughout history, why have they focused on only the female side of these issues. and this is the point that saletan made. it appears that men would rather shoulder the burden of responsibility and blame to women when it comes to sexual issues. how many times do you hear men blaming women on giving them diseases, for example, when it is a lot easier for women to contract something from a man?
