Simply extending sex education to cover legal matters as well as biological ones would do a great deal to improve the situation, and would be very easy to do.

One pertinent example is the persistent blocking by the Labor/Democrat Senate of minor reforms to the family law system that would make it easier for men to visit their children. Now that Senate block has been overthrown, and the Government will be able to make greater reforms than it would have if the Labor/Democrat majority had acted reasonably enough not to get thrown out.

I don’t think a man should be required to pay child support in cases of proven “sperm theft,” but I also think the onus of proof must rest on the man who seeks to avoid the responsibility, and the burden must be greater than the balance of probabilities.

I should have known better than to expect any sort of fairness. First we have to destroy the Left, then we can work on reform.

If a woman can kill it, it doesn’t have any rights.

Ah, so much to be said for to have and to hold, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, unto death do us part.

Astonished police called to the scene discovered that Mr Piefeatures had been surgically altered with transplanted breasts so that he could truly share the work of childrearing. He told waiting reporters that his girlfriend had slipped him a Mickey Finn and then stolen his sperm to avoid his assiduous use of his own home-made triple-layer armoured condoms.

Unfortunately the woman concerned worked as a receptionist for a horse vet, and the drug rendered him unconscious, disorganised and incontinent until well into the third trimester. New legislation passed through Federal Parliament making late term abortions illegal also shortened the period in which he could legally reject the child on the grounds of deliberate trickery.

“I know I am stuck with her”, he said, “but my heart melted when I looked into her big brown eyes. Once I became aware just how hard my beloved partner Boadicea has to work to keep our little angel alive, my mind was made up.

I signed up for the operation the next day. Equality is a wonderful thing.”

Is why the law in all its folk-wisdom has decreed that blokes have to put up too.

Our species’ continuation requires male participation, EP. There is an evolutionary imperative.

Very high-minded to attempt freeing us from our biological shackles, but far too much effort for far too little gain.

Whatever else the conversation covers, the bottom line is that a child deserves the love and care of all of us. I’m not asserting that the the present arrangements are ideal, and I accept that it is possible that a woman could hunt and gather sperm to impregnate herself with. Even if she does that, it’s not the kid’s fault. The kid is still entitled to be loved and protected.

No new bureaucracies or enforcement agencies whatsoever would be required. And of course, unlike the chances of you acquiring the Nautilus, the probability of achieving this law reform within my lifetime is fairly high.

Given the apparently infinite ability of humans to screw up, go over the top, lie and dissemble or just get really dazed and confused when it comes to sex, do you have any practical suggestions for delivering your solution (and ones that don’t involve increased government regulation either)?

All that is required is a right for men to choose whether or not to support an unwanted child — equivalent to a woman’s right to choose whether or not to support an unwanted fetus.

Let’s try to go another step, and imagine you taking action. Do you have any witnesses to evidence of your own entrapment, suitable for presentation to a court?

Courts can decide these things, much as they can in the he-said, she-said world of other rape cases.

Nabs, I’d crusade for consistent rights between the sexes, even if that means standing next to hairy-armpitted wimmenslibbers.

Oh, does that mean you’ll be crusading against restrictive abortion legislation as well? I just can see you uneasily rubbing shoulders with strident female lefty demonstrators who are casting skeptical looks at your “No More Unwanted Dads!” placard.
