A question about child support

“Justice therefore dictates that if a woman makes a unilateral decision to bring pregnancy to term, and the biological father does not, and cannot share in this decision, he should not be liable for 21 years of support. Or, put another way, autonomous women making independent decisions about their lives should not expect men to finance their choices.”

Karen DeCrow feminist lawyer.

If women’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a fetus, then men’s partial responsibility for pregnancy does not obligate them to support a resulting child.

Elizabeth Brake, political philosopher

I don’t believe there is anything good about feminism that seeks to enslave men in name of a women’s right to choose.
It doesn’t make sense to respect women who treat men like an ATM.
Feminists feel the same way about forced parenthood responsibilities as they feel about forced genital mutilation. As long as it's not happening to women, they don't care.

Women have the key of reproductive freedom. But fear no more, a men's pill is on the way (Google it).

Because toxic gender roles restrict women to caretaking roles and restrict men to financial provider roles.

Law reflects societal biases, this family law perpetuates the inequality where fatherhood is a responsibility not a right but motherhood is a right not a responsibility.

In most states in the u.s. a man can sign his rights (and therefore obligations) over. It's a shit thing to do but it's there

Because you could not have sex!!! Also, its not your responsibility physically to carry the child. You don't get to feel sick all the time, risk your life and maybe permanently damage your body.

Or insist during every sexual interaction to use a condom, whether or not she uses birth control herself. I dated a ton in my 20s and it completely boggles my mind the amount of men who claim women purposefully try to get pregnant when 90% of the men I had sex with 1) never asked about my birth control, good thing I was a nut about taking it 2) never offered to use a condom to further prevent pregnancy (due to laziness and it not feeling as good physically for them) and 3) complained when for some reason I did want them to use a condom.

I likely will have a son in the future and I will have a talk with him about this. I am not going to raise a son who blames the woman for getting pregnant if that happens. He will know its his responsibility to avoid having sex with women he suspects are baby entrappers and to not think with his genitals...and he should know to ALWAYS use a condom and take control of his own reproduction. For the nutty men that claim women poke holes in condoms, only use condoms that have not been unwrapped. Problem solved.
