Your implications dismissed it. You talked about how most abortion being done by choice, because you wanted to make the point that a man should have a choice too, ignoring the fact that a cis man when raped, can't and will not be impregnated and will not experience the trauma of such a pregnancy. There is an imbalance in the comparison. Of course, it doesn't end with rape but also simply the consequences of being pregnant, e.g. possibly depression. By pointing at the choice and demanding the same ability to choose, you equate both. They are not the same and you dismiss all the differences.
I am very certain being pregnant by your rapist and having to carry the child to terms would be increasing the trauma of the rape and aborting the child would consequently reduce the trauma. I mean either way you would have trauma but I am fairly certain it is reducing.
I am telling you to stop comparing to vastly different situations. That your comparison is bad because of it.
"If this was about women losing something that men aren't already without, they might have the foundation of a point. But it's still a fact that women haven't really given a shit about advocating for giving men the equivalent rights, throughout the decades that they had them nationwide."... "women haven't really given a shit about advocating for giving men the equivalent rights"... jup... the focus of women's lack of "giving a shit" surely doesn't frame women in any way negatively.... yeah... get real.
