A short but powerful and important read. If I would've read this a year ago, it would've put me in an anxiety spiral because it's all about the many ways in which preventing unwanted pregnancies is very little in women's control and that just freaks me the fuck out. But I have no fallopian tubes now, so we're good there! I learned a lot, and I hated what I learned. Of course it's a really "extreme" argument, but it's a well researched and well argued one. Idk man I'm convinced. Will society ever actually think and work this way? I'm very doubtful, certainly it won't happen in my lifetime, but if only. The one negative is one that the author fully explains in the beginning and that's that the argument centers cis, hetero interactions, so that's definitely something missing that would've been beneficial to see.
