In all fairness, men do have a choice but it's similar to
the "men have a choice to not give women scissors lest
the women run around and hurt themselves" kind of thinking.

Recently, Home Depot celebrated a "victory" where they only
had to pay a 100 grand or so (which mostly covered legal
fees for the plaintiffs) where two parents ABANDONED
their child in a home depot while they went off shopping
and the child hurt himself when he pulled a door display
down on him.

Later, the parents claimed the child's injury had resulted
in some kind of learning disorder by testimony showed that
he had already been having problems at school before (Gee,
kids pulled down displays upon themselves having problems
at school?  Who would have guessed? :-)

My wife and other foreigners are continuously amazed
at how the notion of personal responsibility in
the American legal system is literally becoming a joke.
