    I really don't know why you want to stick your neck out for degenerates that refuse to take care of their kids. Someone has to take care of the kid - demanding that it be everyone other than the biological father is absurd.

    The problem with forced adoption is that there is a shortage of parents wanting to adopt. Which means that these parent-less children spend years in foster-care, which is not ideal or healthy for the child.

    Degenerates that didn't want to become a father you mean? That "someone" that should take care of the child is the one that wanted to have said child. If she can't take care of that child it should go up for adoption. The sooner the better, this child deserves to have 2 parents that love it.
    If you want to fault anyone, fault the person that brings a child into the world that it can't take care off. Not the person that didn't want it to begin with.

    So if you are not enthusiastic about this system you are not enthusiastic about child support? Because that is one of these things we created to remedy the biological inequities.

    Not really, there aren't many people that want to adopt a six year old or older, but babies, everyone wants to adopt a baby, there are waiting lists for that.

    No, a man plays a role in having sex. Having the baby is 100% a choice. If having sex is the same as having babies then there should not be such a thing as an abortion now should there. Stop using anti abortion rhetoric.

    Having sex is the same as having babies? You really don't understand how this works, do you? You see, the word 'sex' is part of a larger phrase: "sexual reproduction". It's a process by which many animals create offspring. We humans find the act of sexual reproduction- of pushing a penis into a vagina- to be pleasurable, so we have found ways to perform the act with a minimized risk of the 'reproduction' part. If an 'oops' does happen, women have a couple of options- having the child, adopting out the child, or abortion. Since none (zero) of these options involves the man's body, they don't get a say in what happens.

    Here, let's build a perfect world for all of you folks that can't seem to square living in this one:

    For all you theoretical 1-to-1 reproductive rights folks: If you get a woman pregnant, and she opts for an abortion, you must undergo a similarly invasive course of medical treatment, and you are forced to notify an analogous portion of your friends / family / coworkers of your participation in the creation and abortion of a fetus.

    Also, keep in mind that the impregnation of a female who didn't specifically ask for your semen to be deposited inside her will now be considered assault.

    I understand that, 1000%. I do not, however, agree with your assumed point that those choices abrogate the father's responsibility.

    If you shoot me, and the bullet lodges in my body, it is up to me and my doctor what I do about that bullet. You don't get a say, and my choice doesn't affect your liability.

    The woman is infinitely responsible for the results of her choice. The man is merely financially responsible. Seems like a bargain, to me.

    Yes, you bear the responsibility. The man's responsibility is to either cover part of an abortion, to be an actual father, or to pay support. The woman's responsibility is to decide to either abort, or keep, a child, and to assume a share of the responsibility for that decision. Adoption involves both biological parents except in cases of impossible logistics or sinister intent.

    This entire thread is incoherent mumbling from people who theoretically have sex and think they should have zero accountability for their actions.

    The end result of your argument is essentially that no rational woman should EVER have sex with a man lest she be 100% devoted to abortion. I guarantee that that is the conclusion that 99% of women would have should they be so unfortunate as to chance upon this thread.

    And no man should be forced to pay for another man's child. Period. Ever. There should be no limitations to DNA results, etc, in regards to child support. The "welfare of the child" is irrelevant.

    See, that's the thing with "proof". The onus lies on the accuser. If the court can establish questionable circumstances (easily done, since testimony is evidence), then logic dictates that the case be heard. The problem is that the court's actions are limited to what the laws say. Therefore, the laws need to be addressed.

    Equality is not subjective. Two parties don't create a child. They create a zygote. A woman creates the child of her own volition. In case of pure negligence, your point is perfectly valid. When it's the result of either an agreement against pregnancy (the use of protection/contraception) and the woman changes her mind or maliciousness on the part of the woman, it's not.

    That's the problem. A "father's responsibility" should not be determined solely on the donation of sperm.

    And if she uses his sperm without permission, he can have her legally obligated to abort the fetus.

    Sure. As long as manipulation of a situation to get oneself pregnant against the wishes of the male is classified as assault. And "basting", among other methods of "stealing sperm" are considered rape.

    It really isn't about 1-to-1 "reproductive rights". If it is known and agreed prior to the encounter that neither wants a child, as indicated by the use of contraception/protection, and either the measures fail and the woman changes her mind (breach of verbal contract) or the woman acts in a malicious manner with the intention of ensuring she does get pregnant against the wishes of the man, the man should have the ability to opt out. It's pretty simple.

    Use of contraception can mean several things. Further, one (male or female) can simultaneously desire to not have a pregnancy, yet to have a child should contraception fail.

    Quote Originally Posted by Mistame View Post

    You have to establish both the desire to not become pregnant, and the desire to not carry to term. And you'd better do so in something a bit stronger than a verbal agreement. Ask women about how easy it is to breach a verbal agreement and get away with it in a rape case.

    Quote Originally Posted by Mistame View Post

    That is pretty simple, alas, it is almost impossible to prove. Condoms, when used properly, are like 86% effective, so look forward to an assault charge 14 times out of every 100.


    We can either usher in a new wave of inter-sex behavior, in which we have literal love contracts and men do preventative sperm-theft prevention kits to preserve evidence, which both essentially boil down to basically not having sex, or we can simply appreciate the value in being decent and empathetic to one another and participate in society as responsible adults.

    Infinitely responsible???? What does that even mean??? The woman is responsible for her own choice, the man should not be responsible for her's. "merely financial" seem rather odd, as you know, everything you can do in this life costs money, it is the fruits of his labour that he misses out on. The chance to start a family of his own with someone who he loves. Those are all at stake, just because some woman wants to have a baby that she can not take care off.

    The only ones with incoherent rambling are the ones trying to defend the current status quo.

    The en result of my argument is essentially that the woman would lose nothing but the financial support of people who didn't want to become father.
    Funny how its bad when something like this is "done to woman" but you have no problem what so ever to shove parenthood on males. Because according to you a male should not have sex unless he is 100% willing to become a parent. My way leaves much, much more choice for the woman then your view has for males.

    And if both want to keep it should the contraception fail, then they're both responsible. If only the woman does, the responsibility is hers alone since the decision to keep it is hers alone.

    No, you don't. Contraception is used to prevent pregnancy, you know, that thing that you need before "carrying to term" is even a factor.

    You are correct if the man can guarantee 100% that he does not ejaculate inside the woman. There are many very harmful outcomes that arise out of having sperm deposited inside oneself.

    It means that the woman bears the entire weight of a decision that can affect her and two other lives for the rest of all of their lives.

    Once again, you demonstrate a stunning lack of knowledge:

    Generally, adoption requires the consent of both parents, provided they meet certain requirements. To gain parental rights, including the right to object to adoption, biological fathers unmarried to the mother must not only establish paternity, but also demonstrate a commitment to parenting the child.

    1) If both sides are attempting to prevent pregnancy, that means the woman absolutely has not consented to you leaking semen inside her. If you don't do that, no problem.

    2) Paying child support doesn't make you a parent.

    There are a dozen methods one can use to decrease the risk of pregnancy. So far as I know, there are only a few to prevent disease.

    Once again, at best, contraception indicates a desire to not get pregnant, not a desire to not carry a pregnancy to term.

    I know this would require you to be conversant in social customs, but there is a much, much larger stigma associated with casual sex than with abortion.

    You should be empathetic because the bulk of burden of maintaining the human species falls to women, and they lose out on a tremendous amount of equality because of that.

    The system is only 'flawed' because you have the societal understanding of a bowl of turnip greens. You repeatedly talk about contracts and contraception... If you're wearing a condom, that pretty damn well indicates the woman doesn't want your semen inside her. If you leave it there, you might have some problems down the road.

    I don't have a problem with the concept of no-fault severing of parental responsibilities... I have a problem with people who expect that to be the norm, and not something that you need to spell out up front.

    You know damn well that the reason you want 'the contraceptive to be the agreement' is because if you did spell it out, few to no women would ever have sex with you. Why would anyone EVER agree to an act when they were the only one to at risk of negative repercussions?

    - - - Updated - - -

    And this is something else that needs to be said:

    There seems to be this idea that abortion is both widely available and is merely a 'choice'. Depending on where you live, it can be damn near inaccessible, and in no case is it a thing where you snap your heels together three times and *poof* you're no longer pregnant!

    Above, MehMeh talks about "What if a man wants to start a family of his own later?"

    Yea. What if? What if, when the woman wants to start her family, she learns she's been rendered infertile, as a result of the abortion?

    "Too bad, so sad!" right?

    At the end of the day, I take solace in the fact that this post could hit 100,000 pages, and we'll never see legal or court action on this absurd topic. And just think- if you keep posting inane BS here, you'll never have to worry about accidentally getting someone pregnant =)

    well maybe i wouldn't still hate her after 8 years?
    Maybe, after talking about it i would have come around - Or not, we will never know.

    You guys supposedly are like, "Just so you know, if you agree to have sex with me, it signifies a legally binding (verbal) agreement to not support any possible resulting pregnancy in any way."

    And you guys are acting like there's a single woman alive who is still pulling her pants down...

    The reasoning and real-life experience on display in this thread is testament to how few of you will ever need to worry about child support.
    THis post made me laugh so hard at work a co-worker asked if I was okay. Great wording and formatting.

    Haha, very true. But it's still the most reliable sure-fire solution if you don't want to have a child.

    I mean what's the woman going to do otherwise? Sneak into your house, find some pants you jizzed in, extract the semen and then impregnate herself with said extracted ejaculation? While to be fair, I have heard of like.. 1-2 cases have existed where women "have" done something akin to that, C'mon.

    It's pretty straightforward. Don't bang every willing hell-hound who answers your cat-calls and you won't have a child.

    A little self-restraint goes a long, long way.

    That's what you want to believe. In two of the three cases you've referred to, the fathers failed to get necessary legal advice. In the third case, we can't recreate a twenty year old trail of evidence, but the judge seems to have followed the laws. The flaw in the system is that laymen walk into court without really understanding what they're doing and all too often make a hash of it.

    Case in point:

    You don't understand courts and law nearly as well as you think you do. This is how laymen walk in thinking that they will invoke logic and get their ass handed to them because they should have been paying attention to the rules of civil procedure.

    With that, I'll bid you a good evening. Feel free to rail at your perceived injustices and to date in circles where you seem to seriously talk about basting as something that doesn't involve turkey. I will happily continue to have sex with no such worries because ... I knew that I didn't want kids and I got a vasectomy years ago. Simple. Game over.
    With COVID-19 making its impact on our lives, I have decided that I shall hang in there for my remaining days, skip some meals, try to get children to experiment with making henna patterns on their skin, and plant some trees. You know -- live, fast, dye young, and leave a pretty copse. I feel like I may not have that quite right.

    Your infantile attempt at satire aside, you understand that "contraception" is a different word than "condom", right?

    Sigh.

    Contraception
    noun
    1.
    the deliberate prevention of conception or impregnation by any of various drugs, techniques, or devices; birth control.
    I get it, you mean "condom". Even still, the primary reason most heterosexual men wear a condom is to prevent pregnancy.

    You're using semantics to make an argument that's not even relevant. Intent is what's relevant in the context of this conversation. Neither wanting a pregnancy, as evidenced by the use of contraception, is an agreement to not incur a pregnancy, and subsequently, a child. You can disagree, but it does not make it any less true.

    So you posted this just to make a personal jab? It has no actual relevance to the conversation.

    If she chooses to keep an accidentally or maliciously obtained pregnancy, after knowing full well that the man didn't want a child, she's not entitled to "empathy" just because she's a poor, innocent woman who has "the bulk of the burden of maintaining the human species". I mean seriously, that's pretty "beta" garbage right there. Women are not "special". No one is.

    I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume you're referring to bareback sex and not leaving the condom in the trash, etc, as the latter would be blatant victim blaming.

    Pretty sure no one's asking for guys to have free reign to just dump loads into stank holes without consequences. In fact, I've been very specific on multiple occasions in regards to scenarios where exceptions need to be made and stated multiple times that the "free roam" guys should be held accountable. After all, they're ruining perfectly good cush.

    This is hyperbolic at best.

    Nor is that big of a deal or that difficult to obtain. Hell, it's even free in some places.

    Certainly not as long as people are still acting like this is 50's and women are "special" because "vaginas" and "reasons", and "beta" cunts write the laws.

    I don't have to worry about it as is, as I've already stated. :P
