I am really trying to understand you, and so I ask you (sincerely this time, and not with my usual snark) to please speak from your own experience. Please be as specific as possible, and avoid speaking in generalities about all men and women in general; I am interested in your experiences, only:

"in every other endeavour that involves a woman and a man, the man is expected to accept her input, even to the point of doing as she says, at threat of her punishment."

Have you ever felt coerced into deciding against yourself under threat of punishment? What were the circumstances?

"I guess men really ARE considered less worthy than women, both women and men seem to agree on this point."

How did you arrive at this conclusion? What sort of evidence is there, personal or otherwise?

"and I always wondered why I would have preferred to have been born female."

What sort of advantages (as well as liabilities) would that entail? In what way are you currently at a disadvantage because you are male?

Finally, given the topic at hand, what do you think the dynamic should be between you (as a man) and a woman in your life who is facing an unwanted pregnancy? (This is a very complicated topic, so please pick and define ONE scenario that is important to you when answering.)

I am trying to turn over a new leaf here. Many, including myself, have in the past been dismissive of your letters. That you continue to post similar feelings repeatedly could mean that you are either a masochist, or more likely, you just feel perpetually unheard and misunderstood. Hopefully by guiding the discussion, I can make it easier for your to explain yourself, from your own experiences, in a way that I can better understand.

Actually, ignorance is our greatest enemy, especially ignorant people who have political power.

She called these types, "Assholes with power."

"...they keep asking the question hoping that low-information individuals like yourself draw a conclusion simply via the question asked."

You mean, like (DA to defendant) "So, how long have you been beating your wife?"
