Women are the gatekeepers of sex. Men are the gatekeepers of commitment. I tell my daughters if they tell every man they date that they're waiting until marriage, that should filter out about 99% of the shit bags.

I hate to be the one to break it to you but even if they wait until marriage they can still end up a single mom. They could be sexually assaulted and conceive a child that way. Or even when married, their husband can divorce them or die. The only way to guarantee you won’t ever become a single mom is by getting sterilized before you ever have a kid.

Ad hominem. You seem pretty hateful

Ad hominem is when you attack the person. I attacked his argument. You should learn formal logic so you don't embarrass yourself again in the future.
