| | TOTALLY OFF TOPIC [and angry]
Hi Marnee, perhaps I can calm your anger. I'll try anyway.
Richard, wow you have it all figured out. Its all so simple! For men anyway It is relatively more simple for men. They can just walk away.
If the entire responsibility of conception and contraception lies on the woman then how can you even say this? Seems pretty contradictory to me.
"...this is not to say that I support irresponsiblity in males"
I can say that because irresponsibility on the males part does not equal the same liability, or obligation even, that rests with a woman. If a woman owns her body and has the right to terminate or not terminate at her will, regardless of anything the man might say or do, think or feel, then a man has no liabilities or obligations in regards to any pregnancy that might arise, outside of a contract for that. Unless there is a contract for pregnancy (and sexual intercourse does not constitute such a contract) then it's entirely out of his hands and he has no right in the matter.
A man beter know what he is doing and understand all the RISKS involved, which obviously includes conception. If he isnt willing to take responsibility for the consequences of SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, which by nature may result in a BABY then he shouldnt be having sex Yes, and an irresponsible man might know all the risks involved, but still, he goes ahead and simply walks away. That is one of the risks of conception that a woman must take into account, i.e. is this man a responsible ethical man, or not?
, and the same goes for women. The responsiblity, ehthical, financial, etc is EQUAL. The nature of sex makes it so.
Having sex with someone does not make them obligated to you, no more than sharing a coffee does.
The nature of sex doesn't make it so.Handwaving all the moral responsibility of sex onto women is irrational and more than a little viscious. This won't solve anything
I'm not handwaving all the moral responsiblity of sex onto women. I"m saying that each woman and each man, individually, are fully responsible for their own bodies. If a man wants to raise a child with someone, then he better find a responsible and moral woman, and vice versa.
Richard
