A couple of hundred years ago, when birth control was unavailable and/or unreliable, and when the family business/farm/fortune passed either legally or by fiat to male heirs, that was a valid point-not to mention that many men considered women chattel, just like the ones in some backward muslim countries do today.

But since at least the past 100 years or so, a man can-and should be tarred with the same brush of shame and responsibility-I put my first husband out by pointing a pistol at him for screwing around, and divorced him. He didn’t get off cheaply, or with anyone’s approval, and that is as it should be-we do not live in a feudal society.

Unless either the woman, or McAllister can prove sexual harassment by the other-which doesn’t look likely, they both own equal responsibility for their inappropriate conduct.

You have your opinion, and you are entitled to it-just as I’m entitled to mine, and I respectfully disagree with you.

Women get pregnant, men do not.

And that explains the world.
