two interesting articles i stumbled upon today
the man shortage
and
women on the pill/controlling ones reproductive capacity
a quote from the latter:
"Control of reproduction is everything. Women who aren’t in control of their own fertility are hampered in every aspect of their lives - either by unwanted pregnancies and children, or by fear of them. I hate to belabour the obvious, but unwanted pregnancy and its attendant health risks, emotional toll and fiscal impact are far scarier than the laughable notion the pill might make you pick the “wrong partner.” (Lord knows, there are plenty of other things that make women pick rubbish partners. Speaking from experience, it is possible to be hormone-contraceptive free and still have shocking taste in men.)"
bravo!
