I think the basic difference between us is that you want to restrain him and I want to give him plenty of rope, and if he hangs, he hangs.

I don't see it that way. I'm not trying to stop him from being a massage therapist. I'm just telling him that one of the consequences of that choice is that he'll have to massage women. He is free to make the choice, but not to evade the consequences of it.

it's as though a vegan got a job as a cashier at McDonald's and then refused to take any order that involved a meat product.

In fact, there's a good hypo for you. Barbara has worked at her local McDonald's for ten years, and has worked up to a higher paying position than, with her total lack of skills, she could get anywhere else in town. She also, as a senior employee, has guaranteed job security from McDonald's. But she has recently become a convert to veganism, and now has notified her supervisor that she refuses to take any orders for products that involve meat. But she wants to keep her job, and have a sign over her station that says "salads, drinks, and other non-meat products only." Is McDonald's obligated to honor her request and provide her such a station?

I think that is where I am too- the plenty of rope position.
