I’m sorry, I need to rant.

Over my lifetime, [insert any country] has always had laws that protects the mother and makes finacial abortion illegal subject to a 18 years of child support or prison for the man.

I’m exhausted.

I’m so sad writing this. I feel dehumanised. I feel scared. I feel like my country is belittling me as a man. I feel like I am looked on only as a wallet and not as a human being.

They say it's her choice but why is it not mine too? Why would I be allowed to die from working myself to death? Why is my life secondary to others in this country?

I have lost so much respect for people I once thought were rational. Not everyone has to agree but to be called a deadbeat and a misogynist for being pro choice is unfuckingforgivable.

I am tired of trying to explain to people the socio economic viewpoint of many of our men who are not able to find better jobs or pay child support due to financial restraints. And why should I? Why should becoming a criminal have to be my only option to get a choice?

I’m exhausted trying to defend the right of young boys not to have to pay their rapist's babies child support.

I’m exhausted trying to explain that financial abortion is not something men take lightly but may find themselves in a position where they have to do so for their livlihood, sanity or otherwise.

So many people I have found to be completely in denial about our countries sordid past in relation to men’s rights.

The Feminists tell me it's the woman's choice but fail to remember the paternity fraud or reproductive coercion that our fathers and grandfathers had to endure at the hands of archaic law.

The Feminists make videos and newspaper articles that are made look like an impartial and fair reason against it and I know the damage is done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ur7KDXO8j8&feature=youtu.be

I am saddened at the fact that my life or my son's life is not equal to that of a woman's.

I am saddened that men across this country will commit suicide in their bedrooms for fear of being "found" by the mother- unable to get adequate legal aid in case they are reprimanded by the law.

The Feminist side to save child support is on an upswing and all I can do is hope that this does not remain law.

I could not run away. I stand with my fellow men who have been silenced.
