I remember a letter to Ann Landers in the mid 1960’s, asking why it is always the women who have to draw the line and set the rules. “Because women get pregnant,” was the reply. Those studs only got their conquests because women said yes. Ms. Fluke apparently says it quite a bit.

That men can more easily evade the consequences of their immoral behavior does not IMO make it any more moral.

It’s quite obvious we differ strongly on this point. In my opinion the “double standard” set the stage for our present disaster by making true defense of traditional morality very nearly impossible.

The whole idea behind the Pill and “abortion rights” has been to give women the same sexual freedom men had under the double standard. Since you apparently see nothing immoral with men, who can’t get pregnant, acquiring as many “conquests” as possible, then presumably you also see nothing immoral with women (who can’t get pregnant because they’re on the Pill and can get rid of the consequences if it fails) doing the same.

The Ann Landers argument actually supports Fluke’s position.
