why patriarchal men are utterly petrified of birth control - and why we’ll still be fighting about it 100 years from now

texturism:

male privilege has been with us for — how long? ten thousand years? a hundred thousand? contraception, in the mere blink of an eye in historical terms, toppled the core rationale that justified that entire system. and now, every aspect of human society is frantically racing to catch up with that stunning fact. everything will have to change in response to this — families, business, religion, politics, economics…everything.

we’re in this catch-up process for the long haul. in the meantime, we shouldn’t be surprised to be confronted by large groups of well-organized men (and their female flunkies, who are legion) marshaling their vast resources to get every last one of pandora’s frolicking contraception-fueled demons back into the box. and we need to accept and prepare for the likelihood that much of the history of this century, when it’s finally written, will be the story of our children’s ongoing struggles against the organized powers that intend to seize back the means of our liberation, and turn back the clock to the way things used to be.

what we’ve learned these past few weeks is: the fight for contraception is not only not over — it hasn’t even really started yet.
