If he has a heart attack during sex, do I owe > him CPR? or is he completely responsible for his choice? Owe him CPR? Did you really mean that? Do you only do what you owed? At any point in time, big or small circumstances? If I ever see you on the highway with a flat tire, should I just say, well I don't owe you anything, so goodbye and good luck? If I see some guy beating you to a pulp, should I just say, sorry, I don't owe you? I hope to shout that if you see someone dying of a heart attack, even if he is responsible for his own choices just as YOU are, you"ll at least call an ambulance! Or would you say, sorry, you're responsible for your heart attack. I don't owe you even a prayer, so just go ahead and die. What you said about taking no responsibility also applies to the woman, if it applies to the man. If a woman is only looking out for her own interests, the kind to not take protective measures (HER share of responsibility), and then go after everything she can get her hands on, then I guess the guy shouldn't oblige her, either.
