DCF,
You stated since women are in control of their bodies they should take responsibility for their sexual relations. I have no argument with this other than to say that they alone do not have the responsibility. The man has 50% of it. Most intelligent women have learned not to depend on their partner to be responsible in this regard. But just as there are some stupid men there are also some stupid women.(that time I wasn't so kind;-) All of womanhood should not be held responsible for a few "bad apples." The vast majority of women handle their responsibilities as to sex, motherhood, marriage partners in a very admirable way. But even they, on occasion, falter. I would argue that many more women lead responsible lives than the male of the species.
There are many good men. My husband, father & son are among them. However, in my lifetime I've observed their are far more irresponsbile, selfish, ego-centric men(especially as fathers) than women. Motherhood has made the difference. Therefore, male holier-than-thous such as yourself should give her the credit due and use your energies in more worthwhile endeavors.
In answer to your last question: My god created the universe with all its beauty & complexity. He expects earth's inhabitants to respect each other and their planet.
Everything else of religious dogma is man made. Thru the centuries its become contradictory & almost laughable.
That said, I respect every human beings right to believe whatever gives them comfort, as long it in no way infringes on anyone else's equally important rights.
