So why is advice not to procreate seen as a slap in the face to women?  Last I heard procreation takes both a man and a woman and the technology exists for either partner to  unilaterally determine whether sex leads to procreation.  This not a message to men or women, it is a message to society.    

And, by the way, not a message I agree with.  As with most challenges faced by humanity, ingenuity and technology will provide the solutions, not regressive and prescriptive rules.
