(146,288 posts)Better stock up on contraceptives now. They might be illegal again soon, like they were back in the 1960s, when I was a teenager. The words, "For Prevention of Disease Only' was on every packet of condoms in California then.

Of course ultimately the women have the keys to the vagina and they can refuse to have sex with men to prevent pregnancy. In fact, that would be the best protest ever. The men wouldn't last long and they'd all be screaming to get the female contraceptive methods back so they can get with their women again.

(61,694 posts)I was dating a "nice guy" ages ago. Photographer. Really mellow. We had been intimately involved already for several months. One evening after a date I needed to get home for an early morning at work. I was kissing him goodbye when he push me down on the floor. I kept resisting, trying to leave, but he weighed twice as much as me. Yes, he raped me. He didn't beat me up, but it was rape, and it was violent.
Some of these women will discover some ugliness about their partners when they tell them "No."
