Of course, "man haters" is throwing in an assumption that may not be 
necessarily so.  I've loved men (to my detriment sometimes, lol) all my 
life, and if I were young and this were an option for me, for many reasons I 
could think of  - I may have gone for it.

Such as it is, I kinda-sorta did this in 1968, except this service didn't 
exist then, and I had to do it the old-fashioned way (shake hands, make a 
deal, get married, produce 2 children, thank him very much - and I was 
completely honest about what I eventually wanted - the children, not the 
marriage).  Suing for child support - on top of having had a favor fulfilled 
for me - would have been unconscionable.  I've simply always been grateful.

There are many women who have integrity, Mike - it seems you are protesting 
too much, and your assumption about "man haters" may actually be something 
you are projecting about how you feel about women?  Just speculating, you 
understand.
