7. Yes I know, it will be brutal.

I wish more males would join the battle. In Iran some males are doing so.

Here in the US, I don't know if that will happen.

Even on American liberal forum sites, with educated enlightened males, the reaction is odd.

When I talk about what it was like before Roe, I am told to "get a grip."

And when women talk about the battle we face, we are told we need to tone down the "sex wars."

Perhaps older males do not see this as their issue any longer.

But certainly younger men will wake up? In nine months, young men are going to
start paying child support in much higher numbers than in the past.
Back in the old days there was no DNA testing. There is now.

It reminds me of the 60's. Liberal young men and women protested against the Viet Nam war,
for civil rights, ecology, etc. But women were relegated to taking notes and making coffee.
This pissed off the women so much they started Women's Rights Movement, and the rest is history.

So we go it alone if need be. And it will be a battle.
