I haven't read all these posts but my take on this issue is simple:
A man, by agreeing to sexual intercourse, is agreeing to gift his sperm to a particular woman. In that exchange, the man loses his rights to whatever happens with those sperm. End of story. You give, you accept.
He always has the opportunity to wear a condom and NOT gift his sperm with the caveat that condoms are not 100% effective. He also has the right to not have intercourse at all. He has the right to only have intercourse with a partner that he is certain is properly using the most effective birth control possible.
If biology was fair, there would be male birth control that is just as easy and reliable as female birth control. If biology was fair, our primal impulses would always take 2nd place to our common sense. If biology was fair, a male/female couple would have a 50/50 shot of either one of them getting pregnant in any encounter.
Biology is not fair. But you can choose to not gift your sperm but most men would rather have sex and worry about what happens to his sperm later. Whining about it after the fact is lame. Be careful who you gift your sperm to or accept the consequences.
