I’m Ready to Vote on Men’s Bodily Autonomy

You’ve convinced me, fellas!

Recently I posted a rant about how I was sick of hearing men debate abortion, because I am. What’s most irritating to me is the authority with which they do it. Many men speak about abortion as if they have some sort of special insight into the subject when in fact they do not and cannot, even if they do take the time to properly educate themselves on the subject, which the vast majority of the time, they don’t.

Of course, this has infuriated some men who have once again told me they have a right to their ridiculous opinions about abortion (true), and they have a right to vote on abortion care (1000% bullshit).

But let’s assume for a moment they are correct and it’s okay for Americans to vote to restrict other Americans’ bodily autonomy.

Cool.

Because I am absolutely ready to begin voting to restrict men’s bodily autonomy in order to lower abortion numbers. But that’s not all! Restricting men’s bodily autonomy would ALSO lower the birthrate, help the environment, save tax money on social programs AND put more criminals in prison.

Ready? Here we go:

Give boys vasectomies
