- in this same thread:

- I believe that Will is not anywhere near the norm. I think the majority of
- men would not respond in the same fashion as Will would. For these men,
- I would hope that the woman would go to them and discuss the options
- rationally. However, since men such as Will exist, I believe we must not
- pass legislation that would force a woman to be put at Will's mercy.
- The price for such legislation is just to damn high.
