Which "reasoning" is vapid. You compared a crime to a legal act.

One which you'd deny to women, but not men. Got it.

No, I wouldn't.
Gee, I wonder why you think nothing of letting the government in on a woman's medical decision, but not a man's.

As a matter of fact I cannot even use bodily autonomy to cause harm/kill myself, it is either considered illegal or mentally unstable.
You can and do use your bodily autonomy to distress things all the time. It's illegal to assault a person. It's also illegal to take a person and hold their body captive to your whim for nine months at a time.
You are making my point for me; you value a fetus, who legally is not a person, over a living woman. How is this not misogynist?

Read the above and get back to me.

You've already written that you would deny the government the power to forcibly conduct a medical procedure on you, yet you have no problem with the government forcing not just a medical procedure, but a lifetime of motherhood, on a woman. Somehow you don't mind that.

Then kindly keep your idiotic, backward opinions in your shithole of a country. You have no problem with a fetus using its bodily autonomy to siphon energy and nutrients from a woman's body. Probably because it's a woman who is being treated in such a manner, amirite?

... says the idiot who just got done talking about how the law doesn't permit bodily autonomy to mean assault (as if that's germane to a medical conversation anyway).
The decision, by the way, says that woman
can have abortions, not that women
must. It is not an imperative.
Also, I got a good laugh at you, a college kid who hasn't had to pay his own way in the world, telling me about how the real world works. This is how uninsightful you are, Pool.

No, you're not. You're denying the obvious.
(February 26, 2017 at 1:54 am)pool the great Wrote: Who's whining? Me myself have already repeated countless times I'm against feminism in this very own thread alone.
That wasn't the whining I was referencing. You're not terribly smart, are you?
(February 26, 2017 at 1:54 am)pool the great Wrote: Nope. I'm a nice person and I don't have to prove it to you.
That's a good thing, because after all the shitty things you've written, I don't think you could demonstrate goodness to many folks here.
(February 26, 2017 at 1:54 am)pool the great Wrote: I striked it out because I made a mistake while typing it out but please, you continue telling me what I believe. Straw manning seems the only way you can display yourself as being in the right, I don't blame you.
The strike-out doesn't occur in the original post, which happened at 12:30 pm by the forum clock. It only appears in a post timed 9:37 pm by the same clock.
It also bears note that the essence of the strike means that you could in certain instances support endangering the life of the mother in your stance against abortion. I'm unsure how this makes you less misogynist ... but no doubt you've concocted more horseshit to convince yourself of your own rectitude.
Also, I don't think you know what
straw-manning is. I'd suggest learning about it before tossing it around. You only look dumber (and that's quite the trick!) when you use words you obviously don't understand. It's not telling someone what they believe. It's constructing an argument they haven't made, and then treating the negation of that constructed argument as the negation of their actual argument.
That hasn't happened here, and I ain't telling you what you believe. I'm feeding back to you the impression that your posts leave. That impression is that you think women are lesser beings who can't even be trusted with the responsibility to decide where to sit in a cinema. If that's not the message you want to get across, perhaps you should stop propagating it?
This is not a safe-zone, and your opinions do not get a free pass from critique. Don't like it? Tough shit.
