You seem to be confused on the usage of responsible. It can be used multiple ways. Mainly 1) assigning credit for something that has already happened (Hey, the Johnson’s lawn sure looks good. I wonder who’s responsible for their yard maintenance.). Or…

2) Assigning accountability for something that will happen (That bar is pricey! Who is going to be responsible for picking up the tab?).

Since I wrote the essay, I can tell you that when I say men are 100% responsible for unwanted pregnancies, I’m assigning credit like the lawn example: Men are 100% responsible for [causing] unwanted pregnancies.

That in no way removes responsibility from women.

Picture two teens in a group project, Sally and Dave. Sally is doing almost all of the work. Someone says to Dave, “Did you notice Sally is doing almost all the work? You need to step up.” Does that mean Sally no longer needs to do her work? No. It means, Dave needs to be responsible for his work.

As everyone knows, women currently do the vast majority of the work of pregnancy prevention — they are culturally expected to be responsible for their own actions regarding pregnancy prevention, and the actions of men too. (You note that men are starting to complain about this unfairness — but only because I wrote this essay. Which was part of why I wrote this essay.)

Obviously, women should continue to be responsible for their own bodies and bodily fluids. The essay points out that men need to be responsible for their own bodies and bodily fluids as well.

It’s especially important for men to be responsible for their own bodies and bodily fluids, because as the essay details:

1) Men are always fertile. They never have to guess if it’s a fertile day; they always know when they are fertile, because they are fertile every day.

2) The man is 1000% in the best position to either prevent or cause a pregnancy due to simple human physiology.

3) Condoms are the easiest, cheapest, safest, simplest and most convenient way to prevent pregnancy — plus condoms don’t have side effects.

If you’re worried that when I say men cause 100% of unwanted pregnancies, somehow women aren’t having to be responsible, you can put your mind at ease. Remember, if the man ejaculates irresponsibly, and causes an unwanted pregnancy, the woman has no choice but to deal with that pregnancy. The responsibility ends up entirely on her shoulders.

If you think women should be held more accountable for preventing pregnancy, then you’re in luck. Women already are! As I mentioned, women already do the vast majority of the work of pregnancy prevention. In fact, women account for 98% of the birth control market.

If you’re interested in reducing abortions, focusing on women is a waste of time. To reduce abortions, you need to focus on preventing unwanted pregnancies. Which means you need to focus on men and stopping irresponsible ejaculations.
