Motherhood should always be a choice. OK. But shouldn’t fatherhood also be a choice.

Yeah but that would mean true equality and feminists don’t like that

Nah bro. men are just there to give sperm. they're not actual people or anything. /s

Apparently fatherhood starts at the moment of conception (which can be as early as 3 minutes after sex).

Motherhood… depending on who you talk to starts the day of birth..

I also have heard that women experience motherhood when they become pregnant but a father don’t experience fatherhood until after the child is born…

But in the legal system apparently that isn’t true…

He made his choice when sex was done /s

Stop talking sense!

Having a choice to be a parent after sex is only for people born with vaginas. This isn't a sexist double standard and if you disagree you're a misogynist. If you keep disagreeing you're a pedo. /s

This is the position of almost all western women.

Women get to choose twice while men only get to choose once. Both men and women choose once when they have sex. But once pregnant, only the woman gets to decide for a second time.

Take it from my ex... friends are forever, husbands are replaceable.

Good riddance.

How would this be structured? Like if a man initially never told the woman they didn’t want a child with her and had unprotected sex which led to a child being born, would they get to opt out of the responsibility? Or would they have to clearly state that they didn’t want a child with her before sex?

Men are just the wallets. Nobody gives a fuck about men. You are all disposable in the eyes of society.

They really hate this argument on reddit

2022-05-08T17:17:21+00:00

Absolutely.

And what about the baby? Is he/she not rightfully entitled to life? Never any talk about him/her ... always collateral damage.

I refused to pay any child support when my long time girlfriend got pregnant. They ended up garnishing my wages and I was forced to take under the table jobs just to avoid paying anything for my son. At a certain point, she just gave up on chasing me and made due with whatever money she had for the kid.

This sub is scary.

swcollings · 2022-05-08T22:13:00+00:00

I think both ideas are odd. Should? Perhaps. But is? Absolutely not.

dumoktheartist · 2022-05-08T23:37:13+00:00

Yes and no, our part in reproduction is fairly minimal

blazedagamer · 2022-05-08T19:15:37+00:00

You make the choice on wether you want to be a mother when you open your fucking legs.

equesticles69 · 2022-05-08T20:15:08+00:00

I understand this concept in the face of a rape. But I don’t know many who actually believe that everyone should be able to opt out of having a baby if they end up getting pregnant after consensual sex. This conversation isn’t very nuanced and it seems to be more men complaining about having to take care of child after having consensual sex with someone they didn’t respect in the first place. Your kids will get the message that they are a burden if you are so recklessly complaining in this way. I feel for them.

MysteriousExtreme531 · 2022-05-08T17:50:14+00:00

Do you actually want to have kids and abandon them? Why is this a "right" you are seeking to have recognized? Have you considered putting your energy toward something less pathetic and reprehensible?

GnomeChompy · 2022-05-08T19:10:07+00:00

Fatherhood hood should only be a choice if all men are castrated until age 25.

ignatztempotypo · 2022-05-08T17:36:13+00:00

It is. You stick your dick in and cum? That's a choice. You're always risking a pregnancy/child when you do that. Look around...8billion people.

I understand the subject and the completely unfair status quo and lack of parental rights for men after . conception, but that's the reality of it.

novaaa_ · 2022-05-09T09:20:30+00:00

it’s very simple the choice is u don’t cum while ur lil dick is still inside u have to take it out and cum somewhere else. that’s how u choose not to be a father 🥰

Costacoffeebean · 2022-05-09T09:19:46+00:00

maybe when the father can feel the pain and trauma pregnancy, childbirth, post partum and basically being forced to stay home, sure they can. but if all they do is jizz in a woman give her pats on the back until the baby is born then not rll huh? the amount of stories ive heard where women was forced into pregnancy because the man wanted kids so bad and they ended up with depression and many health issue, one even died through childbirth. you arent at risk, we are.

2022-05-10T23:41:59+00:00

Yes. And there are plenty of women who would support this statement.
