-
- You said that NO (none, nada, null set, zero) woman could have children
- without the "kindness" of a man. You also said that this was the literal
- truth, meaning that you intended this exactly as written. Further, you
- did not exclude the case of rape producing children.
-
- Therefore, since women _do_ have children as the result of rape, your
- statement implies rather strongly that rape is a kindness.
-
- Since you obviously do not personally equate rape with kindness,
- the $5 you can donate to the Red Cross. Let me know when you've
- done so. And be more careful with what you say in the future.
