Please god, someone tell me this is just a social media (especially reddit) thing.

There’s a post right now over in another sub where all of the top comments are men talking about how “paper abortions” should be a thing. Because if SHE gets to choose what to do with her body medically, he should be allowed to walk away scot free.

As if dudes haven’t been abandoning their families since the dawn of humankind.

How many single mothers do you know, right now, who’ve raised their child(ren) almost exclusively alone? How many do you know who’ve never seen a dime in child support even when it’s court ordered?

How many of you work in healthcare, childcare, or education and see that it is almost exclusively mothers, whether they’re married or not, picking the kids up from school, taking them to the dentist, dropping them off at the daycare, arranging playdates and extracurriculars, taking time off of work, money out of their paychecks, to give their kids what they need?

It’s so hilarious (but not actually funny) that men want to whine and moan about how women gatekeep sex and don’t want to date them, they complain about “golddiggers” and somehow expect a traditional housewife who cleans and cooks everything but also goes 50/50 on all the bills, birth control is solely her responsibility… basically, they expect to be treated like kings for doing the absolute bare minimum, and only for themselves.

Has it always been this ugly, or am I just seeing it more because the worst ones are the loudest and most obnoxious?

Ugh.
