"The one time they created a birth control pill for men, they took it off the market due to side effects such as depression, mood swings, and weight issues. Meanwhile, women have to do a ton of trial and error to find a pill or implant device just to prevent their lives changing completely due to pregnancy, while dealing with all of those same side effects.” ........

I can count myself among that very, very few, fortunately.
My purpose in asking you that question was to (hopefully) cause you to recognize that you had disparaged all men with your overly-broad statement.
About your comment re the Catholic and Protestant churches:
Not knowing your own religious instruction, if any, but assuming that you possess at least a basic understanding of those beliefs, can you think of a faith-based reason why these congregations didn’t immediately banish the offenders to the gallows? (As an aside, it is worth noting that the only reason we know about the offenses in the Church is because the offenders were found out, held accountable, and punished by law)
As for the Boy Scouts, they were steadfast against homosexuals in their troop leaderships until forced to allow it through lawfare.
And what do you make of this: The ones who shrieked the loudest about the Churches allowing homosexual pedophiles in leadership positions shrieked even louder because the Boy Scouts did not.
I await your thoughtful responses, ToT.
If growing up means thinking with the little head as happens way too often, I'll pass.
I don't support the death penalty any more because too many people on death row have been exonerated, but to answer your question of why they weren't turned over to the police as soon as they were caught is one of the most distressing questions I've been called on to answer. Men knew, and did nothing. In the case of Penn State, it was a woman who finally broke the story.
I'm always bashing men because I want men to be better than this, not because I hate men.
As for the Boy Scouts, they were steadfast against homosexuals in their troop leaderships until forced to allow it through lawfare.
The abuse cases in the Boy Scouts go back long before they started letting homosexuals in.

I don't see it that way. The left has been pushing for inclusion of homosexuals in both organizations while denying it has anything to do with the abuse that occurred. As pointed out above, much of the abuse in both organizations started long before the push to allow homosexuals to join anyway.
