No, I'm not.

We encourage women to be on birth control if they are fertile in case they are raped, so we're still holding them accountable for what comes near their eggs whether they had choice or not.

Plenty of women are drugged and date raped.

What you're describing here is rape. This man was raped. In his case, I would ask why he didn't report and either have her arrested, or filed a civil suit, and severed his parental rights. He's still just as responsible for what happens to his sperm as the date raped woman is to what comes near her eggs.

Further, if he was in medical care and under sedation, he can name the care facility in the lawsuit for not protecting him while under anesthesia and those monies can go toward his rape recovery and also toward the care of the child. As a known/convicted rapist, the woman in question will be on the sex offender registry so hopefully other men won't be duped into an assault and she may also lose custody of that kid who's going to have to deal with the trauma of being a rape baby.

It's not perfect, but there are avenues of redress and I guarantee you he'll have an easier time getting that redress than the scores upon scores of women who have been drugged, incapacitated, and raped. Bare minimum, it's unlikely the police etc al will ask him why he didn't choose better women to date or what he was wearing.

More broadly, men should be pushing for continued research and developemnt of a male birth control pill and other forms of internal but temporary methods of birth control so they have that protection in rape scenarios.

I find it interesting that you chose an extreme and rare circumstance in order to give men a by on basic responsibility though. And yes, I do think that's flaky. You are choosing a side here. You're choosing to pander to men's feelings and inflated irrational fears rather than accountability and responsibility for their reproductive potential. Women don't get to tap out here and I find it interesting that you seem so hell bent on crearinf a false "fairness" argument about it. That's very telling.

You're infantalizing men at the expense of their maturity and women's AND men's safety. And most definitely to the detriment of any resulting child's wellbeing.

What's wrong with you that you would use, manipulate, and hate on men and children so profoundly just to try to get one over on other women?
