This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Let me offer a scenario; two drunk people who wouldn't normally go near each other spend a night together. The morning comes, regret is in the air for both parties, which of these two people is most at risk?
The correct answer is: "the one who doesn't accuse the other on social media".
Just remember, no-one gave any indication of gender there. It's not really about gender at this point - it's the fact we've constructed a world where a casual encounter has the potential to become the prisoner's dilemma if it is regretted afterwards.
That's not a world where people take risks on a date, especially if physical intimacy is on the cards. To much risk!
Are you aware that pregnancy exists?
So does birth control, what’s your point?
Pregnancy is a risk that is ignored by op. The risks associated with hormonal birth control are also ignored. The fuckwit above is assuming birth control because they live in a modern western context, they ignore the fact that birth control is a privilege. A casual encounter has aways been a massive risk for women.
Language kid.
If you get drunk, hook up with another drunk person, and end up pregnant, who exactly is to blame? Your life choices are hardly stellar (nor are theirs); you can argue they should have known better, but so should you.
That ship on that blame has long since sailed. It sailed by the night before when you were both laying your regrets.
Risk now comes from your choices and theirs, and oh my won't that be fun?
That’s why vasectomies are great ✂️
