Maybe if you were carrying the pregnancy in the first place you'd have an argument. And it's still not a privilege. You have to use your money for gas along with the money to pay for the bill of having the abortion, you have to not work for a day or if you have children already you might have to have a sitter if you're a single mother. It's really not a privilege if you have to travel. And if you're in the south good luck with that. Imagine one clinic in the whole state. And then you have to think about where is the next clinic to you? A day or two drive? Yeah, some privilege. And by the time you can get there it might be too late with restriction laws.
Yeah, some privilege. You know what my options are for my part in an accidental pregnancy? Pay child support or go to jail.
You see, this is one of the problems I have with it. People just laugh off criticism of it (granted I didn't provide much criticism in my post, but I'm sure you've probably heard it before: that it doesn't account for different types of jobs, that men take dangerous high paying jobs more than women, that women work fewer hours on average than men, etc...).
I remember I saw an interview with Rachel Maddow, who I think is completely awesome by the way, and someone brought up the wage gap criticisms, and I'm like "finally going to see the 'anti-wage gap' argument taken to task by someone that dismantles BS for a living." Nope, she gave a nervous laugh and an eye roll and changed the subject.
I mean, this isn't like the flat-earthers of gender wage gap, they make some good points. To just gloss over it or laugh it off is kind of point against you. I mean, if every time it's brought up, and people can't or won't argue against it, then maybe there's something to it.
I'm not talking about victimization in terms of violent crime but the response to it from police and the court system. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I don't think I was.
Statistically the justice system favors women. It's actually one of the big complaints from men's rights groups. I mean, you're complaining about their response to violent crimes against women, until recently there was even a law against raping a man. How's that for a poor response. And it's almost cliche that police officers arrest the male in any complaint of domestic assault, even if he's the victim, but to their credit this is changing. Now they arrest everyone.
