I am a firm believer in responsibility. If you know the risks of sex... such as pregnancy... you should be responsible for them. If you get an std from a broken comdom you can't sue the person who gave it to you., why should you be able to kill the child you helped create? But that is just my humble opinion.
at work they want to be treated as equals, but the second the get off work they go back to being "taken care of" by the men they are either dating or married to. Its ok to say what a man is supposed to do, yet a woman has choices and any man (including her own husband) who dare says what she is supposed to do is immediately called a sexist.
Has this ever actually happened to anyone, or are you just creating a straw argument to prove your point? Why would any normal woman treat her husband that way, and why would any normal man marry a woman like that?
The argument against feminism seems to be a lot of "Feminists are like < crazy face and yelly noises>" but so much of the man-ruining behavior these women are accused of is so out of the realm of normalcy the argument just doesn't hold water.

With that logic dare I say women will never be taken seriously because at work they want to be treated as equals, but the second the get off work they go back to being "taken care of" by the men they are either dating or married to.
Question.
If the woman is working a job along side men and going home to a man, exactly how is she being "taken care of"?

In all the time I've heard complaints about an abortion a man didn't want, or a child a man didn't want to support, I have yet to hear that the couple discussed the consequences of an unintended pregnancy prior to having sex. We are all adults now who are happy to discuss our favorite sexual position with each other, but yet we don't announce our intentions/desires should a pregnancy occur.

I informed all my partners (after my first dh) prior to any sexual activity that if by any quirk of fate a pregnancy resulted, I would be at the abortion clinic so fast it would make their head swim.
Should everyone be paid equally for their work? Of course. Does that mean that the push for that equality be used to manipulate men into behaving a certain way OUTSIDE the workplace? No. It was mentioned here that women feel entitled to have a man take care of them financially because that is apparently what a man is supposed to do. Fine.

I'm sorry, I'm not following what you are saying. I work, sometimes at an office and sometimes out of the house. When I am not working, I am cooking, cleaning, looking after the children, shopping for groceries, planning meals, and doing laundry. My husband has chores too, so I am not saying he doesn't help, but I DO do these things in addition to my paying job. I believe more than 50% of the working wives do more than 50% of the housework and child-rearing, on average. How does that translate into "being taken care of" by our husbands?

As well you should if that's how you feel about it; if a man doesn't like it, he shouldn't sleep with you. And guys, wearing a condom isn't good enough, if you absolutely positively can't handle her getting an abortion. No whining later once you are told what is going to happen.
Perhabs guys would be more gentlemen if you girls didn't dump em for being "niceguys" :P
