- Of course you didn't; I was using it as an example to point out the
- ignorance of your statement. I'll say it again, more slowly. Please
- try to follow. You claimed that *no* woman can have babies without the
- kindness of a man. There have been cases where a woman was raped and
- subsequently gave birth to the rapist's child. Are you claiming that
- the rapist performed an act of kindness, or is this an instance where
- a woman *was* able to have a baby without the "kindness of a man"?
-
- *Either* your blanket statement was incorrect, *or* you're claiming that
- rape is a kindness if a baby results. Which is it?
