  • Ejaculate Responsibly
    Jul 9 2024

    Get ready to challenge everything you thought you knew about reproductive rights and personal responsibility! In the explosive Season 2 premiere of Counter Narrative, we're joined by the brilliant Gabrielle Blair, award-winning author, speaker, and thought leader. Gabrielle is on a mission to flip the script on the age-old narrative that women are solely responsible for unwanted pregnancies, single motherhood, and abortions. With unflinching logic and passion, she argues that the root cause of these issues lies squarely with men who ejaculate irresponsibly.
