Should lying about taking birth control to become pregnant be a criminal offence?

You do realize that there's not much difference between telling a guy you've had a hysterectomy and telling them you're on a birth control pill right? That the pill only has, in perfect use, a 99.9% success rate, and with typical use a 91% success rate (keep in mind though condoms by comparison have a 98% success rate when used perfectly and an 85% success rate when used typically). In other words, she's largely increasing the odds of having a child by not being on birth control.

To tell you the truth there's a lot of man-hating in threads like these. You seem to have a lot of apathy for men who have been taken advantage of, and I can't really respect that. So many people have apathy for men, hell in the US men are the only ones who have to sign their fate away to possibly being forced to go through the unimaginable hell that is war (i.e through signing the selective service agreement). I've met people who believe that male teachers who sleep with their students should be penalized because girls are "innocent" but that female teachers who sleep with their students should not because boys are not "innocent".

Do you know why feminism has such a prominent influence in government policies? Because in the Western world people care about women. They have roughly the same rights as men, yet even though there's a massive movement aimed at their interests ingrained in Western society, anything that targets the problems of men, such as the 4:1 suicide rates (male:female), permanent alimony (which of course mostly affects men), or selective service, men are shouted down and claimed by others to be "patriarchy-supporting rednecks". Fuck people. I've never been so confident in saying I'm completely ashamed to be a human being.

I basically tore apart your gambling metaphor and you persisted in stating that there should still be no laws put in place to discourage reproductive coercion in which men are the victim. Fucking ridiculous.

I'm going to stop replying now.
