| Anyone support starting a different thread on men's rights so we don't kill this one? |

Good point, it never occured to me. LOL, and that's not sarcasm in case my comment needs clarification :D. |

Completely subjective on your behalf, I wouldn't be so presumptuous to speak for other people, especially as a majority.

No I don't agree.
If you're talking about losing income to child support then that's about the only thing they stand to lose, aside from that if they aren't hanging around then they can quite happily bounce off to the next relationship without any qualms what so ever.
Ultimately though, contraception devices run about a 2-20% failure rate with correct usage, even higher with incorrect use and there must be some recourse or support for even just the accidents. |

| The problem is that's not all they can lose. In some cases the man does care enough and does want to take responsibility, but the woman has the sole decision whether or not she carries the baby to term and chooses not to. |

That's complete obfuscation of something I think most of us would agree on. I agree with NeoPhono on this one.
EDIT: That logic is along the line of:
"I think most people wouldn't want to be shot in the face."
"No, that's completely subjective on your behalf."
Well, yes it is subjective but I think it's safe to assume most people don't want to be shot in the face. |

@ PKC: Who has double standars now?
That's kind of like saying "it a mans money so he doesn't have to pay for child support or any type of compensation in case of a divorce" or something along those lines. There's a reason why the term "feminazi" exist and why I became disillusioned with a good deal of second wave feminist BS anti-male propaganda. |
no, its like saying that a man, who CHOSE to engage in sexual behaviour and ACCEPT all the risks associated with it, has no right to force a woman to term nor force her to abort. when we are growing babies in vats and theres no human incubator, THEN you can talk about 50-50 rights. as it stands youre out of luck.
if a guy is willing to stick his dick in, he should be willing to face any and all consequences.
i think its laughable how you men complain about the supposed "unfair" nature of biology, when its been making women second-class citizens for centuries. get a clue. |

LOL, that's not what I said dude. I wasn't talking about "men forcing an abortion or birth." I was pointing out that they have no say whatsoever. |

yeah, and its unfortunate. if anyone has a workable, legislatable alternative, im all ears! sorry to misunderstand. its a busy day in the office, i shouldnt be on here at all! :D |

| BTW, I know this is kind of personal, but I really don't care. My mother was going to abort me until my dad talked her out of it. And I do come from a broken home. And I sure as choose my "rough life" as opposed to none whatesoever. So I can certainly speak for myself, and it isn't subjective in the least Lilith ;). LOL, the irony :D. |

How many men would you know who'd willing have something the size of a golf ball which eventually swells to roughly the size of a bowling ball wedged around their lower intestine for 9months, the obligatory sickness, days off work, inconvenience of fluid retention, stretch marks, weight gain and then... you pass it! (or have it hacked out)
You'd have to be pretty great friends at the very least wouldn't you? If you're not, I doubt there's many takers on the offer from someone you met that just let you stay over for the night once ;)
and foster care can be so much fun... :( |
