I'm not arguing that sex is "the same sort of thing as going to a concert or movie," nor am I attempting to argue that it is without consequence, but that it should have the same moral consequences. In plain words, idiotic fucktards should not be looking down on others based on their misbegotten beliefs about sex.
It does not have the same potential and often actual consequences, so why would the moral consequences be the same? Do you think there are no moral consequences if you get a woman pregnant and she has a child? Should that have different moral consequences for you than going to a movie?
If you go to a movie with a woman, you are not morally obligated to pay child support because of it. Are you saying that if you father a child, you are also not morally obligated to pay child support because of it?
If you wish to continue conflating the moral consequences of pregnancy and/or child rearing and/or illnesses, with that of the act of sex, be my guest. I'll stick to the act itself, the only argument I made. See, I consider pregnancy, child rearing and illnesses to be separate issues dealt with on their own, not conflated with the sex act. When you add in today's contraceptive and advances in medical sciences, the real physical consequences are vastly reduced. You don't see it that way and that's fine. If you wish to keep attacking the straw man, that's also fine, but I'm out.
