Why are some men okay with the state raising their offspring?

If the state had custody the kid would be in a foster or group home.

Your post is nonsensical.

A lot of sweeping generalisations based on zero evidence. It just sounds like you've got experience with this and you're doing the whole "he did this therefore other men do it".

Exactly the same thing could be said about women.

Equal_Simple5899 is on record elsewhere as saying:

'The reason there are high numbers of single moms is because majority of fathers do not want to raise their own bio kids so it makes sense that they also don't want to raise or even be around another man kids. They are complete deadbeat dads. The openly verbal ones are doing childfree women a favor by exposing that they are deadbeats. Majority men with kids will just turn their girlfriend into a single stepmom like they did their kids bio single mom'.

So…since Equal_Simple5899 has LONG made their mind up on how (she) perceives men generally... including 'the majority of fathers', how about they just answer their own question from their own already held biased perspective, save (her) own time and kinda get outta here? Just a suggestion.

Not everyone wanted kids. Men dont have a way to opt out short of abandonment

A woman who doesnt want kids can take a myriad of birth control options, abort, take advantage of safe haven laws, or put the baby up for adoption.

A man who doesnt want kids can wear a condom. If that fails, he has no other option than to hate his life or be labeled a “deadbeat”

Frankly, what do you expect to happen.

More power to them (the so called “deadbeats”) imo

This seems so specific... And purposefully gendered for the sake of a response.

I know more women in this situation and zero men. But typically the answer is money.

Also, if the direction of "since many men are vocal about how they don't get rights to their kids" is taken... Then the mother is the one resorting to having the children raised in welfare... Since the men don't have rights to the kids.

Maybe those men just don't care about the woman enough to work harder. I'd imagine if they had custody they'd care more, but if the state can take what's normally an unconscionable woman out of the picture at the cost of them seeing their kids, some people think it's worth it. Depending on the woman, it probably is.

the state raising their offspring

It's funny how people bring this up and act like it's such a dystopian idea but completely forget about public schooling, state propaganda, government-funded NGOs, etc.
