Had a 45-minute conversation with my 15-year-old son tonight about abortion. He came in hot with “there should be restrictions.” So I went hard. Not to bully him — to build him. We talked about bias. About whose body we’re actually discussing. About what it means to hold an opinion on something that will never, ever affect your body. I asked him to look up the stats. Read the actual data. Then come back and finish this sentence: “I’m a man, and I should have the final say over a woman’s body because…” He couldn’t finish it. That’s the point. He’s 15. He’s allowed to be wrong. What matters is that he’s willing to think — really think — not just echo what he’s heard. Raising boys who become men who understand bodily autonomy isn’t optional. It’s the whole job and now I’m tired because he gets these opinions from kids in school. Gawd.
