Practical, smart, and empowering. Women need to wake up to these truths if they haven’t already.

I want to add something though. Some men are thoughtful and smart about sex. We need to encourage them and not just let men have a free “men will be men”pass. Why not ask men to consider the consequences of sex beyond just the financial where he may need to help support an unwanted child? When taking a sexual risk, do they ask themselves “Is this the situation and woman I would want raising my child?”

A child is their flesh and blood too, but when I ask my male friends if they ever consider that, the response is usually, “men don’t think like that.”

Is there anyone out there who thinks maybe it’s time to start considering who they could be giving their baby to?

Couldn’t agree more with this.

The way sex is treated in society often feels detached from its deeper responsibilities and consequences.

It’s refreshing to see a conversation about sex and parenthood rooted in self-awareness and intentionality.
