Women are in the workforce now, they have all the access to live an independent life like men. Women have the eright to opt out of pregnancy through abortion, and men should have the same option to abandon. Obvious special cases, would have exception.
I guess you have never been a step father supporting somebody elseās kids.
If you donāt want kids, keep it in your pantsā¦easy solution.
I agree the current system is bias toward women and unfair to men. If a women does not need approval from the biological father of her child to have an abortion, he should also have the option to āopt outā also. Maybe if something like this was in place more people would use caution, or maybe casual sex without concern of consequences will lessen! One can only hope!
Child support is for the benefit of the children, not the parent. I do think women should be ordered to pay more though. Many times they pay nothing even when the father has primary physical custody.
Itās true that many women railroad or trap men through pregnancy, or use the children they share as weapons against them in a divorce situation. Men abandon children too, but men will be forced to pay consequences through the justice system for that, although it may have to be pursued. Men are mistreated by the family court system. Slight changes have been made over the last two decades, thanks to many advocates, but not nearly enough. Children are the true victims in all of this. The damage can be horrendous. This topic should definitely be explored, but to eliminate the obligation completely could not work. It would cause harm to some of the children. I do believe a federal mandate should be put in place that states; An automatic paternity test shall be taken and each parent must comply immediately upon birth, before the child and mother leave the medical facility, whether the parents are married or not. Perhaps they should be taken during pregnancy to give the father some rights in decisions to be made even prior to birth? Something worth discussing in my opinion
You get it. Right now, its easy to get married and difficult to dovorce, making marriage a novelty and weapon. If we reverse it, people would use more caution about who they share their body and life with, more people would use discernment snd make better decisions.
While women hace the right to abortion, equality dictates men have the right to abandon.
Men dont bear the responsibility of getting pregnant. Whats best for the child? A mother that makes good decisions about who they let get them pregnant. Good women will pick good men to have babies with, instead of the deadbeat guy, thats always been and always will be a deadbeat, and choose to be a family instead of cashing said deadbeat in for a paycheck.
I agree somewhat, there should be no one parent with full custody, it should be jointly and everything should be split down the middle. Now if one parent exhibits behavior that is not good for the child, then of course, there should be consequences to either parent.
Exhibit A for why the Equal Rights Amendment will only be used against women.
When women fought for equality, we wanted equality with strong, often pro-family men.
When menās rights activists fight for their version of equality, they seek to be equal with the weakest of women, women who only represent the bottom 25% of our entire gender.
When women got equal rights, you didnt recieve equal responsibility.
You can vote for our countries leaders and what wars we engage in, but your not conscripted to the draft, so other men have to fight for you. Not equal.
Equality gave you the ability to incur your own debt and have your own income, yet women get awarded custody 99% of the time, even though single mothers raise the vast majority of violent offenders and prostituites.
Opppsites attract, we are made inherintly different for a reason. Women want a strong masculine man, and a strong masculine man wants a soft feminine female. expecting a strong man to accept a masculine and dominant female for a wife is like asking a woman to accept a feminine, beta male.
You didnt think it through and you dont understand what āequalā means. Men amd women arent equal. Women want someone thats stronger, more competent, taller, more financially secure, more emotionally secureā¦ and you believe youre equal to that person?
Thatās a lot of mumbo jumbo.
Stop trying to compete with abortive women for the bottom of the barrel.
I donāt have any kids just supported somebody elseās.
@davethepainter Same hereā¦and Iām not a step-parent eitherā¦just your average tax payer.
Canāt quite tell whether bro thinks this will somehow make women more likely to sleep with him or whether his ex got custody for obvious reasons and heās pissed he has to support his own kidsā¦but Iāve got money on one of the two.
If one parent is raising child, providing home, clothes, food, activities, education, And working a full time job WHY would that be a benefit to the child? The cost of safe childcare is ski high!!
I disagree strongly. The are parents who are abusive, refuse to help providing for children, doesnāt get them to school, does not feed them a nutritious meal, takes the child to the park and the leaves. Also one could be on drugs. This is not a one and done issue.
