Ejaculate Responsibly

A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion

De: Gabrielle Stanley Blair

Narrado por: Gabrielle Stanley Blair

In Ejaculate Responsibly, Gabrielle Blair offers a provocative reframing of the abortion issue in post-Roe America. In a series of 28 brief arguments, she deftly makes the case for moving the abortion debate away from controlling and legislating women’s bodies and instead directs the focus on men’s lack of accountability in preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Highly readable, accessible, funny, and unflinching, Blair builds her argument by walking readers through the basics of fertility (men are 50 times more fertile than women), the unfair burden placed on women when it comes to preventing pregnancy (90% of the birth control market is for women), the wrongheaded stigmas around birth control for men (condoms make sex less pleasurable, vasectomies are scary and emasculating), and the counterintuitive reality that men, who are fertile 100% of the time, take little to no responsibility for preventing pregnancy.

The result is a compelling and convincing case for placing the responsibility—and burden—of preventing unwanted pregnancies away from women and onto men.

Fantastic

This is the type of book that everyone should read. It should be part of sex ed.

Amazing

A must read for everyone young and old. I am 55 and this flipped the abortion conversation into some productive. Everyone in my family is getting a hardcopy of this book for Christmas.

Very Important Food for Thought

While at times Ms. Blair runs hyperbolic and definitely didn't get all the physiology stuff just right, the main ideas here are simple and yet absolutely mind-boggling. This is absolutely worth listening to. I am a women's healthcare provider (midwife) and I will recommend this to my colleagues.

Can’t argue with the logic

The sense in this book is so common that it’s embarrassing it has to be written down. Men taking more responsibility in the area of reproduction is something that should happen and this book details why.

Love it

Well written and great to listen to. Everyone should read this book. I’ll be sharing with everyone I know.
