There is clearly a mental disconnect between us. The oath for women was in response to a new situation: married women leaving husbands with illegitimate children and saying they wanted to be or were Muslim and seeking admission into the tribe. It warranted an oath for them. Men were not arriving with 2-4 illegitimate children seeking admission into the tribe. Do you see the different situations now?[/quote]
Yes, there clearly is, isn't there?   It has to do with your inability to understand the concept of future tense in this verse.

First, there is no evidence whatsoever that women seeking to join Muslims in Medina were arriving with "2-4 illegitimate children seeking admission into the tribe" (you just made that up.)  The verse very clearly says, "when believing women come to you seeking allegiance".  It says nothing whatsoever about children.

Neither men nor women were asked to promise that they [b]didn't [/b]have illegitimate children.  Your insistence on commonplace fornication would have made that illogical anyway (we only have the word of the Muslims that pre-Islamic Arabs were devoted fornicators but let's roll with this for the moment).  Women seeking allegiance were asked to promise they WILL not do it in future.   Men were not. [/quote]
