RE: [escepticos] ANOTHER FEMINIST LIE EXPOSED



Buenisimo, espero con ansias la segunda parte sobre los dolores menstruales.
Y como decia mi madre, con menos ciencia pero con infinitamente mucha mas
sabiduria: El día que los hombres puedan tener hijos el aborto sera el
primer articulo en todas las constituciones del mundo como un derecho
inalienable. La planificacion familiar se enseñara junto con el alfabeto (si
no antes) y las pildoras anticonceptivas y el cuidado prenatal estaran
cubiertos por todas las obras sociales de manera gratuita y obligatoria.

Saludos
La rabiosa feminista (joder, que se nos infiltro una!!!!!!)
