  • RE:The Male Pill

    "Why aren't men?"

    Men are. I'm sure you know Warren Farrell.....little reminder:

    Farrell's "Top Ten Social Solutions with Budget Saving Results" that he claims transcend Democratic and Republican Party lines:

    1. a men's birth control pill and a paternity fraud bill;

    2. universal prenatal care;

    3. listening skills taught from first grade, with simultaneous retraining of parents;

    4. equal father and mother involvement, especially if there is divorce;

    5. more male teachers;

    6. stressing female empowerment rather than victim power;

    7. keeping taxes on businesses low;

    8. schools that are friendlier to boys;

    9. a commission on the status of men and men's health;

    10. restraining the Government-as-Substitute-Husband.

    The reason I raise the question about feminists is I constantly see/hear them complain about men not taking their fair share of responsibility on birth control. As if "wear a condom" is all that's required. How many women wear the female condom ?....kind of takes the fun out of everything.
