If all things were the same, but it was men who fell pregnant and gave birth, abortion clinics would be so standard they’d be on every corner, like McDonald’s. In fact, it’d be a sign of status to go to one.

Male 1: “I’m just off to the abortion clinic real quick.”

Male 2: “Oh nice, King. You’ve been busy.”

Male 1 leaves.

Male 3: “He’s so cool.”

      Yeah, working on a garage and inserting a metal rod into yourself and bleeding to death is certainly equivalent.

        Since I have to explain, we are talking about a fantasy world were men get pregnant and get abortions like it was nothing, and I’m building on the “tactical” marketing that they make stuff look military to sell to men so they can feel more manly (example: https://tacticalbabygear.com/)… I’m not talking about why women would resort to it in the real world, I’m making a joke about why men would resort to it in that fantasy world, and if you didn’t like the joke just call it stupid and move on instead of playing dumb

          I’m not playing dumb. Your joke doesn’t work in this world the joke setup and you’re directly joking about a way that women die. OP is joking about abortions being accessible which doesn’t carry the same morbidity.

          I just take an issue with how you’re punching down with your joke.

            Punching down… capitalism for finding the most morbid ways to get profits (selling “tactical coat hangers” for unsafe abortions) and toxic men culture that ties manliness to caricatures (you can’t change your tires yourself? can’t change your oil? can’t fix the roof? can’t use power tools? can’t do it yourself? you are not a man then)… ok…
            The joke is intentionally morbid, though, so I suggest you just block me to avoid seeing more of this in the future.

              Nah I rather be witness to the type of careless and poorly crafted humor men enjoy these days. It’s best not to stay in the dark on that kind of thing.

                More like “yesterdays”, from before social media and search engine social engineering turned everything friendly for advertisers. The difference is between the kids who got giggles from sending surprise links to Rick Astley music and the kids who got giggles from sending surprise links to Goatse and Tubgirl. So don’t worry, as the algorithms progressively hide its existence, this nonconforming/sick humor is getting rarer by the day… but as for me, I’d rather not spend time with moralists, so I won’t be seeing any further messages you write.
