Re: What are the man's rights here?

Simple: the man has the right to his own body. Period.

Poeple are entitled to change their mind. If the woman agreed to go to
a picnic with the man, and then changed her mind, does he have
the right to  force her to go to the picnic, just because she's
already in the car, and he REALLY wants her to go?
Of course not.

So why is this so different?
Just because she has agreed to share her body with him up to a certain point,
why does it mean that she has given up her control of it? It's still HER
body isn't it ? Or has her body simply been reduced to an object for his
use and pleasure?
