Why do people focus on "unprotected sex" as if that is the issue? When in fact the issue is sex without commitment, loyalty, or any intentions of responsibility towards that person.

But I guess if you challenged people to not have sex recreationally and in fact accept the real responsibilities that come with sex, then a lot of folks would be knocked off their high horses.

Can we accept the responsibility of NEVER having sex with anyone who we would not want to procreate with? Can we accept the responsibility that sex comes with commitment and when you try to separate it, you end up with the hell you see today? Can we accept that responsibility?

No one should be telling her that she should have had "protected sex" unless that protection comes with a commitment with a man who wants to build a family.
Exactly

Usually people internalize their surroundings. If you're around bad decision making people, women who are getting pregnant at a young age, and all the other shyt that comes along with poverty most likely you're going to accept that as being okay. Most people don't have the ability to take themselves out of their environments and look at the bigger picture. This is why the cycle of poverty is so difficult to break. Its easy for an outsider to look in and say, "well she should do x, y and z." But to actually be surrounded by that every single day. It becomes you're identity and your reality. I swear some of you all sound like rich, ignorant white people.
:camby: I grew up poor. So poor, that in the 8th grade, I had one pair of pants. Those shyts were blue Levis. By the end of the year, they were white. So no, I'm not an outsider. I've been there.

Thank you! I was reading both posts, made within the same minute, like :leostare:



My youngest was conceived while I was on depo AND we were using condoms. MOST pregnancies are unplanned.


But why are people tripping over her phone and the baby's shoes? More than likely they were gifts. All four of my kids, 15 to 2, each have at least two pairs of Jordan's and the three oldest got iphones/pads/pods and I never bought them a single one. I can afford to, I just won't buy overpriced shyt. Their relatives do though.

People win the lottery too, doesn't mean it's not rare

You have less than a 1/10,000 chance of getting pregnant while on depo AND using a condom

MOST pregnancies come from a man nutting raw in a woman who isn't on birth control. That is a fact.

To call that "unplanned" is pointless because we all know how babies are made.

Truth and logic
Properly used condoms have a 98% success rate

Properly used birth control has a 99+% success rate

If people won't stop having unprotected sex with strangers than they damn sure won't be abstinent

How about you just put on a condom or take your birth control?

In other words, you enjoy sex without the responsibilities so you will not promote true sexual responsibility, you will just parrot talking points that don't really address the root of the issue.

P.S.

Hormonal birth control is toxic. Only having sex within marriage is not.

Not condoning her mistakes, but why does the hate and vitriol always get aimed at the powerless.

It's just as easy to say that multimillion dollar company shouldn't be paying its employees so shytty.

Why not take aim at them?
She had the power to control her destiny. She chose to let a dude bust in her. Saying shes was powerless, is saying she was beat up, knocked out and raped.

Dudes are really in here pretending that people are having all these babies because of faulty condoms @Emperor_ReinScarf

You can't make this stuff up breh :mjlol:



You earned that woat banner, you don't know what the fukk you're talking about

I already said her wages should be doubled. She doesn't know how to budget or prioritize so 15 an hour won't really do much for her if she doesn't change

You got your cape on for her but this chick is smarter than you. If you look at her tweets it's clear she understands the difference between a good man and a man who ain't sh*t

She made some mistakes and put herself in a bad situation. She was fully aware of what she was doing.

Stop treating her like she's mentally handicapped

And then you jump to insulting me

Stay lost brehs :smh:

A dude bussing in her isn't the issue. If corporations weren't taking advantage of normal everyday people then she and her baby would be fine.

So you followed around every chick you smashed raw and personally put her pill in her mouth every day?
