"No, don't clarify. Too many people feel entitled to have opinions about the lives of women in general and/or specific women in their frame of reference, when in fact it is the women alone, or the women in conjunction with their partners, who have a say in having a child or terminating a pregnancy."

Fine. Throw us overboard then. After all, anyone with testicles must automatically be a patronising, imperialistic, misogynistic git. Acme, I've spent my whole bloody life fighting for women's right to choose. I don't want praise for it but I wouldn't mind if you just left me out of your rather defensive "too many people" category. Know thine enemy, and I'm not it, and neither are lots of other men I know, thanks.
