Stop blaming women for unplanned pregnancy, it takes two to tango

You can't have unprotected sex while also claiming to be unprepared to care for a child (Photo: iStock)

So, why is it that when unintended pregnancies occur, it is always the woman who suffers? Most men believe that it is our responsibility to protect ourselves from pregnancy and that we are to blame for any accidents that occur during the love match.

This is hilarious to me because the man is just as involved in the baby-making process as we are. In fact, because he is the one doing the fertilisation, he has the option of spraying outside and elsewhere to avoid such unfavourable outcomes. We're better off washing sheets than blaming each other for who didn't do what to keep the pregnancy at bay.
