That guy freely gave away his sperm. Once he gave it to her she gets to decide what happens

Wrong. Your premises are both wrong. Anytime someone says "it's so simple", be sure that it is not.

Women's control of their own bodies is paramount. But the OP is wrong.

Whoosh. The post I was replying to was simplistic and I was mocking it. . . . nt

Thev "point about the donated sperm" didn't go over my head. You made a mistake.

The mistake is in the article you endorsed by posting it unqualified. The article ignores other ways

"The article ignores other ways"... of "[my] other ways"? Other ways of what?

The post you are replying to states that men don't create ova. You say this is factually wrong.

I wrote elsewhere in the thread "Women's control of their own bodies is paramount." Wrongheaded.

What is wrongheaded about this support for women's rights that I wrote IN THIS THREAD?

Yes. Read my first post in this thread, #3. I am specifically talking about UNWANTED pregnancies. nt

Can't find a post from you earlier than this one. Note that the OP was referring to UNWANTED pregs.

So, woman 100% cause wanted pregnancies, man 100% cause unwanted? Science? Not.

Sorry, while you might be right in spirit, you are wrong in fact. Plus you have a premise wrong.

If the man really doesn't want a child, he will wear a condom regardless of whether she is on

Yes, it can happen. Probably you did not blame the man. Similarly in this thread ...

You endorsed the piece in your OP by posting link and excerpts with no negative comment.

The post you link to was obviously not mocking. Here you deflect when asked if you have a point. nt

Hmmm...perhaps the linked post, rather than being mocking, was being mocked.

Okay, reference was not clear because it was in a different large sub-thread. Still, your point?
Bernardo de La Paz

The piece linked to is not about blame and only partially about responsibility.
lapucelle

#122
No. "cause" is wrong. Assigning a cause assigns blame implicitly unless qualified. It wasn't.

By your logic, a woman is never a cause of a pregnancy. You deny them agency even for that.
Bernardo de La Paz

There's no problem with the proposition that men cause 100% of unwanted pregnancies.

Yes. Your comment(s) incl this make points against the OP. Then you post that you agree 100% with OP

For a substantial portion of men, sex is little more than masterbating into a woman's body.

Not at all. In fact, she points out that unlike men, women's orgasms don't impregnate anyone.

Saying only male orgasms cause pregnancy is not saying sex is only for procreation.

Not easily. It could occur from the pre-ejaculate fluid. Or harvested sperm.

Actually, I think women orgasming during sex has been determined to help pregnancy occur.

Hell, even a little wine "helps." But no woman gets pregnant without a man ejaculating.
SunSeeker

That does not make the man 100% responsible. And there are pregnancies without ejaculation. . . nt

Well, no woman gets pregnant without sperm from a man. There is no emaculate conception.
