Ah, OK. The dick (i.e., the man) is
doing the fucking. That's one perspective, for sure. In that case, it's all about the
doing, which is what makes it look as if the pregnancy is also the man's
act. It's one view of
the male role, the sower of seed. Very biblical, works like a charm in an underpopulated desert world, and solves the mystery of why some men resist having a vasectomy even when they know they don't want any kids. These are the morons you're talking about.
No, it's the topic of the thread. The person who started it could have made it about parental responsibilities but instead, they thought it so important that men above all else need relief from parental responsibilities. So that's what we are talking about.
To be sure: This thread was started by someone just whompingly biblical, to coin a phrase, and he was using a technique known as playing devil's advocate, and is long fucking gone from relevance in the discussion, if not flat long gone.
Do you think I'm disputing that it is what we'd be talking about if we let
michael^3 run the show? The thread is addressing precisely that view of
the male role, and perhaps covertly adopting it. I would even agree, with some caveats, that these are exactly the sort of men who might, oddly enough, be tempted on occasion to seek relief from parental responsibilities. But this is not the universality of men, perhaps just the very old-fashioned ones, who see themselves in a sort of biblical role. However, this is the modern age, is it not, and at least some men and women have opportunities for more nuanced views of their roles.
If we buy into this view of how some men treat their role, does it mean that all men are subject to that view? No, of course it does not. Some more nuanced view of the way many sexual encounters develop is merited. In avoiding those nuances, you are implicitly buying into that globalized view of
the male role, however you came by it. No pun intended. Ah, fuck it. Pun intended.
