Birth-Control Hearing Was ‘Like Stepping Into a Time Machine’

58. it's indifference

Nothing at all to do with recognizing that women aren't weak little helpless creatures that need men to do their fighting for them.

IT. IS. INDIFFERENCE. It is indifference because birth control is not something high enough of their list of priorities to bother getting off the couch over for the simple biological fact that they themselves will never ever ever ever have to worry about getting pregnant. If it doesn't effect them personally then the male masses either simply can't be bothered or are already fighting on the wrong side.

And there is something somewhat logical about that. Which is why you aren't going to see straight people getting off the couch to protest marriage inequality and may even see some joining the fray on the wrong side. People only ever care enough about something when that something personally effects them. That's simply human nature.

Perhaps it makes you feel better to imagine that men remain silent on the issue of birth control because they were taught some time ago that women are strong enough to fight on their own without the help of men and are noblely allowing that to continue but it's wishful thinking. They simply do not care enough to be bothered or are embracing the wrong side.

The only reason we're even having to have women get into this fight is because of the indifference or outright objection to by men. If enough men were interested enough to join the fight or stop fighting on the wrong side there wouldn't BE any need for any fight.

You can never win ANYTHING without a loud majority and that is always going to mean men fighting along with us because without those men we will NEVER have a loud majority. Just as the GLBT community needs straights to loudly join them with their issue struggles, whites to loudly join racial minorities on theirs, etc.

I'm fucking PISSED that women are BACK having to fight this fight all over again because not enough women and men cared enough to fight to MAINTAIN what they already had just as I'm fucking PISSED that us worker drones are again having to fight for what we had already because too many worker drones couldn't be bothered enough to fight to MAINTAIN what they had finally won.
