"Pregnancy wasn't expected," my ass. Til there a pill for guys, women get to make the ultimate choice: protection, abortion, adoption, keep it - it's HER body. ...But "he should've used a condom!" Same with her - she's a sex worker! He's doing exactly what a responsible guy SHOULD do - paying $20k/month. He's a father. She can't force him to be a *dad* even if - ESPECIALLY if - he's the son of a Pres. Y'know how many illegitimate Pres. grandkids there are? Ask Don Jr; & that's just the US Pres.
In sexual species, sex isn’t binary: XX/X systems (insects), ZW/ZZ (birds), temperature-dependent sex (reptiles), females determined by losing penis combat (some flatworms), sex change when the only male dies (parrotfish, clownfish), male mimicry to access females (cuttlefish, bluegills), or thousands of sexes (slime molds, some fungi). Biology is wildly variable by design. And this is only NON-human biology... see follow-up post for humans specifically.
