We've been pondering over how to correct and perfect the dance of social interactions and daily life between for men and women in the West for some time now; it is high time we stop shit-posting and forward some actual ideas. It is time to make a master list.
I don't care where you're from, who or what you identify as and even whatever bullshit voodoo magic you believe in.
If you were to level the playing field for men and women how would you do it? Don't banter on with stupid crap; provide reasoned arguments and sources if you can-we can go through and debate each point and potentially modify them for the best (theoretical) results. Maybe some of these ideas will be put into practice, we'll work that out as we go.
If you're serious about trying to change anything then we outta get to it, don't reply to shitposters.
I'll start:
If women are to retain control over parenthood (They won't give it up) they I suggest we do the following:
1) Make birth control free, fund research into safer birth control methods in the event of allergies or any such complications.
If they have access to free and effective BC then it removes the financial argument they have for not taking it.
2) Teach women (and men) about contraception+BC in school (potentially grades 7/8-12), how it works and how to take it safely and effectively. This will remove the argument that they were/are not informed about the effects of BC.
3) Give women the choice whether or not she has an abortion, this will also be free.
In return:
1) Men will not be held responsible for any pregnancies that occur, they can opt out of fatherhood.
3) If the father does choose to pay then child support payments will not be based on imputed income.
4) The government will not subsidize the mother's decision to have children if she chooses to have them out of wedlock or without agreement from the father. Be smart about your decisions.
5) Hopefully there will be much less spending over the epidemic of single mothers and fixing chaos that results from it; money that can be spent elsewhere. This will save far more money in the long run than the current system. If women want to start a family then they cannot simply entrap any man they wish and receive funding for her sole choice. If she wishes to do so then she is required to take responsibility by doing so on her own.
Women will have the freedom to handle their fertility however they like, they will also be completely responsible for it as well.
