They do! But to abortion proponents, women are being oppressed by being denied the agency to terminate their pregnancies. I’m not arguing that this is the logical way to view it, just sharing their viewpoints.

O.k.,

incells feel like they are being oppressed by being denied the agency to have sex with women who don't find them attractive.

How stupid does the justification have to get before someone is willing to admit that the Emperor isn't wearing any clothes?

I don’t see how anyone can ever make this claim. The woman has the decision to have sex or not have sex. The woman has the decision to use birth control or not use birth control. The woman has the decision to keep the baby or abort it. The baby has no decision rights or any rights at all.
Unless the woman was raped, she has all the power in the process and can’t be viewed as oppressed.

This. It’s a categorical difference in perspective.
