My dad commented on my entry yesterday with this article. Turns out it is an excerpt from an entire book about the same topic as my “check” posting from a week ago. The kicker here is that the author is a woman. This is a problem that is slowly slowly being aknowledged. A few of my favorite qoutes (it is a long exerpt) are:
While women have been cast as victims, martyrs, mystics or saints, men have quietly retreated into their caves, the better to muffle emotions that fluctuate between hilarity (are these bitches crazy or what?) and rage (yes, they are and they’ve got our kids).
This part references what I meant when I mentioned birth control:
Legally, women hold the cards. If a woman gets pregnant, she can abort – even without her husband’s consent. If she chooses to have the child, she gets a baby and the man gets an invoice.
