No. He's not. Just because he might be invested in his own children and community as an individual doesn't mean he has the right to speak as though his position is one society in general holds.

His experience as an individual is not the same experience most women have with former partners, or the fathers of their children.

It's easy to talk statistics when you will never be one. No man will ever have to face being a sacrifice to reproduction. And you can all just walk away pretty much any time you want. Men also don't face the terror of intimate partner violence during their most vulnerable moments the way women do too.

Well, except James Caan because Kathy Bates and Stephen King do crazy so well. Haha.

To be clear, I don’t believe men have no place in discussions about reproduction. I’m just often sickened by the flippancy, callousness, and outright ignorance they often bring to it.

I do think, regardless of your sex, if you have nothing meaningful, intelligent, or compassionate to add you should keep your yap shut until you do. Having a poorly thought out opinion doesn’t give one the right to brow beat everyone else with it.
