Now I am 100% pro-choice, specifically women's choice.

But they did have a choice, to have sex or not. If they chose to have sex, why don't they accept the consequences?

That's easy to say as a man, especially in the US where the is big problem with men who don't "accept the consequences" by supporting those kids. And no I don't call sending money to the mother of your children supporting the kids. It's supporting the mother who is doing all the work, physically and emotionally.

Men aren't the ones that have their body destroyed. Men don't have to worry about losing or finding jobs because of pregnancy. Men don't have to drop out of college or high school because the next 9 months of their life is fucked. Men don't have to have their genitals tear and split like a hotdog in a microwave.

Also Men don't have to feel the shame of being a single parent. Teenage and college age boys aren't permanently labeled whores for having kids out of wedlock. Single mom's in this society are something to be pitied or felt sorry for. When my ex-wife and I got divorced she was faced with shame at her local church for being a single mom. However when I have the girls everyone gives me props for stepping up. We're both just trying to be good parents yet we are faced with two very different realities.

As much as things have gotten better, there is still gender inequality. Sure there are laws that are meant to enforce equality but it doesn't change public opinion.
