Male ‘Feminist’ Accidentally Explains Everything Wrong With Pro-Choice Men in Wildly Self-Serving Rant – Opinion

Pro-life women and men alike usually laugh when they hear the term “feminist” being used to describe a pro-abortion man. But seeing as though it’s women who these “feminist” men are trying to impress the most, it is conservative women in particular who especially get a kick out of the absurdity of them actually thinking they’re dazzling anyone with their virtue signaling outside of the people in their like-minded liberal circles on the matter.

This virtue signaling is, naturally, wildly selfish for reasons that are not in your best interest. Should be obvious to everyone but which – shockingly enough – aren’t to some. No worries on that front, however, because a male feminist has just penned a lengthy screed where he laid out all the reasons why he believes a man should support a woman’s right to choose. Though he did it under the guise of being a proponent of “family planning,” it didn’t take much reading between the lines to see what he was It is reallyGetting at.

Kaivan Shroff, who is a senior advisor for a D.C. non-profit, a Yale graduate, and a “Democratic digital organizer, strategist, and commentator,” wrote a piece earlier this week for Boston University’s WBUR public radio station website detailing how “men like me benefit from safe abortion access.”

In it, Shroff talked about how he would soon be graduating from law school after spending some 10 years in college and grad schools, and how now would be a “terrible time to have a baby.” He says though he someday does want to start a family that right now he wants to sow his wild oats and live a little before it comes time to settle down:

Don’t get me wrong — I’ve always wanted to have kids. I love the relationship I have with my parents and can’t imagine not getting to experience fatherhood. I think I’d be good at it. That said, I’m not in a relationship. I haven’t built a nest egg. After two years of suffering from a pandemic worldwide, it’s clear that I don’t have enough money to build a nest egg. In too many ways, I’m unsettled.

A little later, after spouting platitudes about believing “safe abortion is a basic human right” and how “women’s bodily autonomy should not be up for debate,” Shroff then acknowledged how men like him “have also long been the direct beneficiaries of safe abortion access” (gee, ya think?), again couching it from the “parenthood” perspective:

Men like myself have been long beneficiaries of safe abortion access. Women often have the option to delay having children until they are ready by giving them this choice.

It was only a few more words before we reached the end. Realität reason Shroff is a staunch proponent of “safe abortion access.” Shocker of shockers, it’s because he hasn’t always done his part to prevent pregnancy during sex:

Both sexual partners have a responsibility to ensure safe sex. However, this is often a burden that falls on the shoulders of women. Admittedly, I’ve often relied on my female sexual partners to protect me from unwanted pregnancy. After meeting a doctor on Tinder, and having seen her a couple of times during my MBA, I vividly recall being in panic mode as I rode an Uber to the train station. Her latex allergy was severe. We didn’t use our best judgment. After that, I received her text. As an additional precaution, she had chosen to go with plan B. My relief was immediate.

[…]

I admit I’m scared of what eliminating access to abortion would mean for my own life.

Was it possible to get a woman pregnant with my own eggs? What if she didn’t want to continue the pregnancy, but could not get an abortion? Would we try to stay together, even if it wasn’t a fit?

At the very end, the most ironic paragraph of all in the piece was written, where Shroff said “many men conveniently side-step defending a policy they have long taken for granted. At the least, men should be honest about the ways we also benefit.”

Um, yeah – Shroff was quite unintentionally “honest” in the ways he explained men benefit from supporting so-called “abortion rights,” so much so that some pointed to a satirical video done by the pro-life organization “Live Action,” telling Shroff he was literally that video in human form:

Other conservative lawyers, such as Ed Whelan were quick to react.

“Yeah, big news that lots of guys like him favor abortion because of their interest in ‘sexual exploration’ (and, for many, exploitation) without responsibility for consequences,” Whelan tweetedAs a response.

Lauren Chen, conservative political commentator, was more blunt in her remarks assessment.

“This is some slimy male feminist BS. ‘Guys like me benefit from abortion because we don’t have to take responsibility when we knock someone up.’”

One of the things pro-life men hear often from feminists is how they should “shut up” on the issue of abortion because they don’t have lady parts and thus shouldn’t be allowed to comment. Strangely enough, those same women don’t apply the same rationale to pro-abortion men. But after reading Shroff’s piece, it might be that they’ll start telling male feminists to hush up before too many others get the bright idea to start saying the quiet part out loud about their True reasons for supporting “abortion access” even louder.
