This is SO right on! I have also written and...Yes! This is SO right on! I have also written and talked about how you can understand the power structure of patriarchy just by suggesting that, for instance, the responsibility for birth control be shifted to boys. Just as a thought experiment (but could it make good policy? it might...), I've said that boys should get sterilized at a young age and only when they are mature enough to parent their children should the sterilization be reversed. Nobody argued about the merits of this because the idea of violating a boy's body is outrageous, whereas the idea of violating a girl's body is...well...it's a fundamental pillar of patriarchy.Madamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145668600052723229noreply@blogger.com
