UN rules in favour of Assange

Given that a woman can not rape a man given the definition or rape, that would not come up.

Oh yes, of course the money is for the child... but that misses the whole point: in this situation the man is closer to a sperm doner who did not consent and there is no contract in place so as such the mother should take responsibility for her actions given in the example the agreement was for sex not procreation.

I'm not sure how UK law works, you might be right. It is certainly possible to convict a woman of raping a man in Sweden however.

Our modern societies do not require there to be a contract in order for fatherhood to be established with all of the rights and obligations which that entails. I'm not sure of exactly how much of a legalized society you envision living in, but I'm fairly sure that even in the UK you become a father without a contract?

Yes, that is the point. If you are male you pretty much need the signed paperwork beforehand as any misunderstanding means you are fighting a rape charge. If you're female and decide to keep a pregnancy you can go after the other party.

I'd like to not live in such a society but since the alternative can be 18 years of payments it does seem codifying the area is the least bad option.

Wow, UK must be a horrible place if men can only get laid safely if they have a signed contract beforehand. That does not sound made up in the slightest.

I guess you must really hate having money if you want to enforce contract requirements on such a level of ehrm, common transactions.
