Why is abortion made to be such a men vs women issue?

I've noticed lately that abortion rights have been made into a major male vs female issue, with people acting like women universally support abortion, and men universally want it banned. In reality 64% of women, and 55% of men support legal abortion. Plenty of men fully support it, while plenty of women want it banned. Some of the biggest opponents of abortion have been women.

Also while more impactful to women, abortion is something that is beneficial to men as well. Plenty of men get out of having to become unwanted fathers thanks to abortion. Sure they don't have to go through the pregnancy, but that doesn't mean men aren't impacted. I know if I got a woman pregnant, I would hope that she get an abortion, since I don't want kids.

Not to mention that men had much more control over the government that passed Roe compared to the government that overturned it. The majority of voters in 1973 were male, vs the majority female today. There also were no women on the Supreme Court in 1973, vs 4 today, including one who voted for overturning it.

Why do so many women not drive?

So I'm an epileptic man who lost his ability to drive after I started having seizures. I also use online dating. It's gotten pretty disheartening seeing how many women have "passenger princess" in their biographies. A significant number of the profiles I encounter say they don't drive. I'm curious why that's the case, and how they can function as adults. Not being able to drive makes me feel like a kid.

It's so infantilizing having to have my parents drive me everywhere at 30.

I'm a 30 year old man who developed epilepsy in my mid 20s. As a result I am unable to drive a car. I honestly feel like less of an adult today than I did 10 years ago when I was 20.

Executive dysfunction.

Has anyone else developed executive dysfunction issues after they started having seizures? I had my first seizure at 24, and ever since my ability to work efficiently has been greatly diminished. I had a therapist try and blame it on ADHD, but the thing is it never happened prior to my seizures. I wasn't perfect, but I was much more functional in the years prior to them starting. I was more on top of things like chores. I didn't forget the tasks I had to accomplish. I didn't get distracted easily. Now I can hardly keep focused on something longer than 30 minutes without looking at something else. I also get stuck doom scrolling on my phone. Before I would wake up and spend maybe 15-30 minutes playing on my phone before getting out of bed. Now it's hours. Also cooking, because I get distracted so much more easily, it takes me twice as long as it used to.

Reddit isn't saving any cookies?

So suddenly today reddit isn't saving any data after I leave the page. I'll click on a post, and the homepage resets with completely different posts. After leaving a comment the post I'm in resets to the top of the page. Same if I try and close the app.

How do we afford a UBI?

So I frequently see people advocating for a universal basic income on reddit. It seems to be a pretty popular platform. I'm not fully opposed to one (especially as someone with an invisible disability). That being said I don't know how we can afford it? There are 340+ million American citizens in this country. Giving every American $10k would cost $3.4 trillion a year, which is about half our entire budget. And that's only for $10k, less than full-time at minimum wage.

So I'm a 30yo man. I've never had a girlfriend, and have had a pretty limited sexual history. Honestly I'm really desperate for some physical and romantic connection with someone. I've noticed in the past I've easily made friends with women older than me, or ones in relationships. Currently my best friend is the ex-girlfriend of a former friend. I also seem to get along very well with women older than me. Although single women my age treat me very coldly. They aren't very willing to talk, or even be very friendly. It really does a number on my self-esteem. There has to be something wrong with me to get to 30 having never had a girlfriend, but I don't know what?
