Expansion

Template:WAP assignment

I am currently working on expanding this page to include the general definition of reproductive coercion, the three types of reproductive coercion (pregnancy pressure, birth control sabotage, and pregnancy coercion), its relationship with domestic violence and teen pregnancy, and its prevalence. All work so far is in my sandbox - please let me know if you have additional resources or ideas for expansion on this page. Thank you! Rachelpop- (talk) 16:18, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Re-rating as C-class

Nice work on this expansion. I'm tentatively re-rating this as "C-class". I've only made a quick pass over the article, but it appears well-sourced and to provide good coverage of the subject's basics. One major remaining issue is that the article appears very, very US-centric. Many of the statistics here presumably apply only to Americans, but aren't identified as such. Groups like National Domestic Violence Hotline might be identified by their country of origin (I'm assuming these are all US?), but more importantly, a stat like "14% of surveyed young mothers reported undergoing birth control sabotage" needs context--is this global? Specific to a country, or region? Making the context clear will maximize the usefulness of the article to readers around the world. -- Khazar2 (talk) 02:40, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Amazing Liberalism

Saying "Let's have beautiful babies together." is not an example of "coercion." It seems radical feminists seek to criminalize anything men say, anything men do that's not a a statement of submission. Men can't even express their desire for children, because that's somehow "coercion." — Preceding unsigned comment added by TMBTC (talk • contribs) 01:43, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Saying "Let's have beautiful babies together" within an abusive relationship in which the other partner has no control over the choice of having said babies or not is part of overall reproductive coercion. It serves as verbal pressure that takes away the autonomy of the other person. Women are not the only victims of reproductive coercion. If you want to add to this Wikipedia page and discussion, please do some research and use credible sources. But first, read the whole article. Rachelpop- (talk) 17:20, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
