Because you’re taking a comment that was obvious hyperbole and making a moral issue out if it. Tying in with that whole MRA song and dance about how women want to get equality but never give it.

My point was that you were being all "oh the horrors! Govt intrusion in the bedroom!"

Assuming that women should be equally appalled. The reality is that govts have up in our hoo-hahs since Hammurabi. Making a more appropriate female response to that being, "look at that, it’s Tuesday."

Also assuming that a great many women wouldn’t line up around the building to have their eggs stored and just be done with all of it. Maybe even most. Hard to say.

But think about it. No periods. No worry about unwanted pregnancy. You never have to plan or arrange around it. Fuck yeah, sign me up. I know I’m not alone. Come on, truthfully, so do you.

This is like the deal with men having little to no say about whether an unwanted pregnancy is terminated. Much as we might want to make things fair and equal on that, until men can carry a child themselves or there is a technological solution, there’s just no way it can be. Someone has to have an unfair burden.

In the case of reproductive storage, sperm can be frozen and still be viable for 50 years, meaning men can store sperm and still have a child whenever they want. Eggs, on the other hand have only been successfully used after freezing for 8 years. (I think 8 years was the max).

So as much as I might have wanted to go jump into the car or even take my daughter down (as I’m nearing menopause now), stand in line, and opt out of the whole reproductive drama that consumes over half a woman’s life, things aren’t equal there. Doing so as a woman effectively ends your fecundity. Period. I wouldn’t have been able to have my daughter. It would have been too late. So, until there’s a technological advancement that truly levels the playing field, it’s a burden that lies with men.

That’s where the hyperbole comes in. Men line up to freeze their sperm so they won’t accidentally make an oopsie? 😂😂😂😂

There just aren’t enough words for how freaking funny that is.
