Even if you didn't ban contraception, I'm sure birth rates would rise -- because people who wanted to get off and couldn't get fellatio might still not use contraception all the time.
> We're talking about "private acts between consenting adults." Birth control is another kettle of fish entirely.
WTF?
- ahoyhere 17y agoWe're not actually talking about sex, remember. We're talking about unpaid internships. The OP was arguing that people are hypocrits, if they say "two consenting adults can do whatever they want" (behind closed doors) for sex, and then turns around and wants worker protection laws. Nobody in this comment thread is actually talking about sex. It's all about the metaphorical comparison, which IMO, breaks down pretty quickly. In the metaphor -- two sex vs unpaid internships -- there is no corollary for birth control. It is a red herring. Get it?
- apotheon 17y agoI'm aware of the metaphor. What I find ridiculous is that you're part of the attempt to argue that sex between consenting adults behind closed doors has no larger socio-economic effect, and when someone points out a larger socio-economic effect you try to pretend it's not relevant.
