(though of course I can't know this either) that women who have not been in or are not in that dilemma can't know what they would do either, though they would probably have a better idea than I.
I'm not sure you read my question as I meant it. I accept that I can't know. Realizing that, should I therefore not have an opinion? Should I think about it, form an opinion, recognize its inherent invalidity, and therefore not say anything? Or, as the OP asks, does voicing that opinion cross a line?
I tend to think that since my opinion is inherently invalid, I would not voice it unless asked to. Of course, I don't think there is something wrong with voicing it either, but it really depends on the time and place. I wouldn't venture into a forum for women discussing the problem and looking for counsel and shout my opinion, but I wouldn't see a problem talking about it among a group of friends. The OP falls somewhere in between, I think. Intent and awareness of what you're doing would be the key.
Of course, none of this matters since as a male who will never experience the issue being discussed, it wasn't my opinion that the OP was asking for
