Something that I was thinking about the other day and a topic that never comes up political, the rights of men in regards to the birth of a child and child support.

What rights?

quote:
But what about when a man gets a woman pregnant. We all know that the woman gets to hold all the cards since she is the one carrying the child. The woman has abortion, which is her way of being able to get out of the pregnancy if she wants. Men of course have no such protection, even if the woman lied about being on birth control and she isn't (which happens more than we realize) the man is still on the hook for 18 years of child support. He gets no say in the birth of the child.

In this case, what is best for society (forcing men to pay child support, etc.) is arguably not fair to men. It is best for the child though.

Women can abort their responsibility to the child without input from the partner. Men cannot abort their responsibility to the child and are on the hook for child support should the mother demand it. To be fair, either abortion needs to be curtailed or the child support laws need to be altered. That wouldn't be ideal for society or the child though.

I don't support changing the current setup now, but I do think this highlights the hypocrisy of the feminist left. Women seem to hold all of the cards when it comes to reproductive rights. That's one of the reasons I don't respect modern feminists.

The other reasons being that modern feminist don't seem to give a shite about women actually going after male-dominated professions and downplay the challenges of being a mother and wife while having the career they want. In fact they seem to look down women for trying to have everything they want. They are Democrats first, feminists second.
