A lot of life’s problems in this area could be avoided by recognizing a few very simple truths: women sell sex, and men are the buyers. There isn’t anything inherently wrong with that, as long as the price is high enough: true love, marriage, a lifetime of commitment.Problems arise when it’s sold cheaply, or given away. The woman is perceived as stupid, or a slut; the man is seen as a genius.

The man would be less of a genius if he had no access or claim to children of marriageless sex or of adultery. Both men and women would be seen as stupid sluts.

Here's a flaw in your theory: a married woman may abort her husband's child, the law allows it, society does not condemn her for it and because it's *her body*, he has no say so whatever, but is left to grieve alone.

Not all men are inherently without conscience or consideration, and I see it as unfair to paint with the broad brush that you do.
