102. You are right, I think, that it's complicated in terms of
ADULT men. It's not a black and white issue, and even as an emphatically pro-choice woman, I definitely see the complications that arise with respect to what you call "men's rights." However, in your example, the issue is not "men always needing to be responsible if they have sex" (what flvegan said); because minors are NOT MEN, with a few possible exceptions, I would imagine, such as 16 or 17 year olds impregnating girlfriends who are a couple or few years older...I don't know, I'm sure there are a few relevant, real-life examples there.

I just have a problem with what you're saying here because the OP was not referring to people who are not legally consenting adults, and what you posited had to do with just that group of people (people who are NOT legally consenting adults). Now, if you had initiated a discussion about "men's rights" in general, I think that would have been more reasonable, although you and I PROBABLY would still have disagreeed to some degree.
