Yeah. There's a potential theory that it's one of those "choices" that
isn't really one. E.g. would she have to get pregnant if there were
topological changes to her river and it spawned a creek? Which is all
well and good, except (1) we already know how that works in theory by
way of the prior inadequately-consented baby-river-making; and (2)
that's an explanation, not an excuse.
Basically, I think these books have never been great on consent, and
continue not to be.
