Under the current arrangements in many Western countries sperm donations will be used by many single women to bring children into the world that are deprived of fathers.

Perhaps at some point in the past sperm donations were primarily altruistic with the intention to assist couples incapable of conceiving naturally. That is no longer the case and will continue increasingly to not be the norm.

Men who donate sperm should be challenged on their decision to do so, and the men's rights movement should include the intent to remove access to IVF from women who are not in stable, long-term relationship, ideally married, where a father figure is present.
