Ironically, that is precisely the case. Women have always had this power and feminists deny it..

I have always found it astounding as to what methods females use to entrap a man. Just imagine this happening in the past where there were no DNA tests available and everyone, just like now, automatically assumed that the woman would never lie about who the Father was or is..

I have had that same experience when viewing groups of kids in a family where one member was definitely not from the same DNA as the Father, even though the kids on both sides of the child's age were carbon copies and recognisable as such and that marriage had been in progress for over twenty years or so. The most examples I have seen were in "religious" families, who would have decided that if the truth was ever stated, to just go ahead and let things lie, figuratively..

How many men were and have been duped, who knows!..

Pressil then said he confronted Burnett, an exotic dancer, who allegedly told him, “Oh you’re not stupid. I thought you knew.”
“Her reason for doing it was to stay in the home — because I had told her she had to leave my house when we broke up,” he said.
She even filed to have him declared her common-law husband, he said, which would have entitled her to half his property. The filing was denied

The woman falls back on the presumptive "you knew" argument while she has been exposed as the schemer who had planned it all from the beginning. Tie him up with a couple of spawn and you get to lay your greedy hands on the goods automatically. Apparently the method used is irrelevant and any family court in the western world does not really give a damn how the pregnancy was induced. They only look at the fact that there are now twins that need money and take it from there, the assumed Father has to pay. The fact that the "mother" has broken so many laws is also apparently insignificant. Hence the saying "Women get away with murder", which ofcourse they do as well as everything else..

Ex-girlfriend hid sperm and used for in-vitro pregnancy: suit

A Long Island man was stunned to find out that his 4-year-old twins weren’t an accidental pregnancy at all — his desperate girlfriend secretly stashed away his sperm and used it for an in-vitro procedure, he charges in a lawsuit.
Elmont resident Joseph Pressil, 36, wasn’t planning on having children with Anetria Burnett, with whom he was in a relationship for six months in 2007, he said.
So she took matters into her own hands, he told The Post, in order to remain in his Texas house and make a legal bid for half of his possessions.
“A gold digger is an understatement. She was trying to get community property and alimony. She’s ruthless,” he said.
Pressil is suing the fertility clinic that performed the procedure.
“This is more than a nightmare — it’s a horror story,” he told The Post yesterday.
Pressil, a telecommunications manager, said he hooked up with Burnett, 34, when he lived in Texas — and was a little surprised when she announced she was pregnant.
“We always used condoms,” he said. But when a DNA test proved him to be the father, Pressil said he began paying $800 a month in child support.
“At first, I doubted [the children were mine], but I figured I would wait until the twins were born,” he said. “But when the kids were born, they looked just like me.”
The real bombshell dropped last February, when Pressil got a strange receipt in the mail for sperm cryopreservation.
Confused, he called the company that had sent him the paperwork, which referred him to the Advanced Fertility Center of Texas, where a manager asked him to sign a release form.
That’s when he said he uncovered the bizarre plot.
“She was taking [the semen in condoms] after the fact and running down to the clinic with it,” said Jason Gibson, who is representing Pressil in his suit. He now has joint custody.
The fertility clinic’s manager simply assumed he and his ex were married when she got the successful in-vitro fertilization procedure that resulted in the birth of the twins, his suit says.
Pressil then said he confronted Burnett, an exotic dancer, who allegedly told him, “Oh you’re not stupid. I thought you knew.”
“Her reason for doing it was to stay in the home — because I had told her she had to leave my house when we broke up,” he said.
She even filed to have him declared her common-law husband, he said, which would have entitled her to half his property. The filing was denied.
