- If you're offering this as an analogy to your "enslave the men" position,
- try again. This has two men in a nonsexual encounter explicitely agreeing to
- create a child. Your situations often involve a sexual encounter where a
- child may not be at all desired, and contraceptive methods may have
- (supposably) been employed. Hardly analogous.
