Celebrate Motherhood by Encouraging the Means of Avoiding It?

Further adventures of The Fluke.
Dare I say this is even misogynistic – viewing modern womanhood not as some ethereal conception but rather the generation that successfully agitated for condoms! Is this really what they want to brag about? The Left is content on celebrating abstract “achievements”, like “diversity” and women’s “rights”, that they can imbue with value; so I suppose getting birth control is sort of like discovering relativity or landing on the Moon.
Funny how the cause of ‘reproductive choice’ is always about just the one choice. (If a feminist chooses to have a child, does her ‘reproductive rights’ entitle her to a dick of her choice? Gives the whole concept of Selective Service an extra dimension.)
One wonders why these chicks don’t just cut to the chase and have their tubes tied. Problem solved, both theirs (them reproducing) and ours (them reproducing).

“One wonders why these chicks don’t just cut to the chase and have their tubes tied.” Because tubal ligation is permanent.
It isn’t that they don’t want to have children, it’s that they don’t want to have them right now. Or perhaps with you.
Hence, the ‘choice’: The choice as to when and with whom to bear a child.
Really, didn’t they teach you anything at Yale? Besides the words to “Boola-Boola” and how to denounce leftists, that is…

One also wonders why, in order to celebrate the achievements of women, the celebration must be restricted to birth control. There are plenty of women with achievements other than “Look! I didn’t have children!”
