And if you don't want children, have your tubes tied, take a pill, have an IUD inserted, keep your legs closed, lots and lots of choices. Women have all the power. Men just follow their instincts.

Exactly. If women tell men "don't have sex if you don't want a baby" the same logic should apply to women.

He would have to give up any right to the child at all whatsoever as a result, and would be forbidden any contact, even if said child became an all-star gazillion dollar earning NBA player, or the first female President of the USA.

Just as I don't want to be forced into a life altering situation, neither would I want to force someone else into it.
All is right with the world...but real life could have him asking to be part of his child's life against your intention and terms.

This is why government[courts] get involved...life is far more complex than all sides agreeing to be civil or mature.

That's not the point. If you want to have all the sex you want without consequence and think it's "unfair" that women can (as the one poster was suggesting becasuse abortion is available) a vasectomy is a viable alternative. What the opposite sex does isn't your concern after that, you will be safe.

This is my thread, so anything I say is on topic.

And if you think vasectomies are off topic, you shouldn't have mentioned them.

They aren't off topic. You wanted "fair" and I gave you a way. Changing the goal posts makes you look foolish.

You still have no sense of humor. (Or irony, for that matter)
