You people who advocate these laws are missing the entire point of laws: laws exist mostly to protect the rest of us from the lowest common denominators of society (in this case, abusive parents). If everyone was as wonderful a parent as you, we wouldn't need those laws.

Another part of being a good parent is having a dialogue between you and your children before this sort of thing comes up. If you think your kids are running around screwing everything in sight and would have an abortion behind your back, then you've failed somewhere.

And being male has plenty to do with it: as a male, I cannot tell a woman how to interpret her experiences. I've known more than enough women who've been victimized sexually in one way or another to know that women have it a lot harder than men give them credit for, and if women say we need to get rid of PN laws, then I'll trust them to make that judgment a lot more than a male who will never ever be put in a situation like this.
