There is also no written law explicitly defining sperm theft illegal and if a women is impregnated from it there is no written law protecting the man from child support or punishment for the woman's theft.
It is hard to read social media these days without seeing large numbers of people bashing men in general. A notable example is #KAM (Kill All Men) a trend saying all men should die usually in reference to specific sexual assault cases. Men speaking out against this hashtag often are met with hate claiming they are insecure with their treatment of women, rather than the truth that nobody wants to be told to die.
