Dear fucking god, this is frightening.
Hey ladies and gentlemen, have you heard of a term called "reproductive coercion"? YOU WILL NOW.
I've heard a little about this kind of thing happening, but I didn't know it had a name. Or that it was that common in domestic violence. :(
The more I read about the horrible things that happen to women by men, the more I feel so goddamn lucky to have met James instead of those fucking douchebags. Not only would he never force me to be pregnant and bear his kids (we both agreed we didn't want any anyway), he would never fucking mess with my birth control either. In fact, when I was in my first month of taking my meds, he said he wanted to wait for them to work before getting anywhere near vaginal penetration. God I only wish other men were that considerate. The comments where survivors shared their stories are heartbreaking. D:
I reblogged it on tumblr, but I'll link it here too because... people need to know about this sort of thing. So it can be stopped and we wouldn't have abused women, unwanted children, and boys growing up into manipulative misogynistic douchebags who will never deserve to be called "fathers". :(
At least Santorum's no longer running for office. Thank god.
