CDC: More American men than women report having suffered “reproductive coercion.”

I’ve pointed out that most of these studies on reproductive coercion are full of selection bias and fundamentally skewed towards making it seem as if only men lie to women about birth control in all of its various forms (pills, condoms, or pull-out method). One study cited by Marcotte and all of the others who have written on this topic from a feminist perspective rely on studies of women who called domestic violence hotlines or women’s health clinic visitors. Such studies are not properly controlled. There aren’t any men’s clinics, and even if there were it is doubtful that men would even have the awareness to name what it is that feminists call reproductive coercion. And if 15% to 25% of women who visit or call domestic violence hotlines or women’s clinics claim to have been coerced into birth then we’d expect the numbers in the entire population to be quite a bit lower.

So what does an apples-to-apples comparison of the ‘reproductive coercion’ experienced by both men and women look like?  The CDC has some stats on this.
