In my reading here and on other forums, the major consensus seems to be that if an unplanned pregnancy happens, it because a man "didn't keep it in his pants." That seems backwards to me.
Equality is a strange thing, with liberties come responsibilities. To lump the fault solely on the male participant makes it seem as though women are seem as merely sex objects who have no bearing on their own lives and the consequences of their actions.
I personally believe that both sexes should share equal responsibility, but this begs other questions, such as, "If a man is expected to be responsible for the conception, can he make a decision to keep the child against the wishes of the woman, does he have a right?"
If the answer is "no," does that mean that women should accept more responsibility for pregnancies because of the fact that they will actually undergo childbirth?
Discuss.
