So you want to enjoy the pleasures of marriage without the sacrifices and burdens that come with more children that are the natural consequences of that act. That’s not being empowered, its being selfish.

Talk about bad timing. I actually felt pain from just seeing that and determined that I would never want to experience that for real ever ever ever.
At his age, still ruminating about “feeling like a man” is not a healthy sign. Never heard of this guy but, self-absorbed liberal weenie is my guess.
