Obviously for the people without kids and those that aren't trying.

Fuck it, ignore the married people, too.

I imagine that leaves 3 people who don't meet this demographic.

I guess it would depend on how I felt about the bitch I'd impregnated (I'm single, so this is all hypothetical.) If I didn't love her, I'd probably be like

Please get an abortion. Please, please, please get an abortion. I'll pay, just please, please, please get the goddamned abortion.

If, on the other hand, I loved the woman and could see myself marrying her, I'd feel a bit more responsibility. I'd probably advocate that she have the kid and just deal with it. And in many ways it would be hugely inconvenient and really suck. But I'd accept it.

I'm not sure why it makes a difference whether I love the girl or not...but it does. I guess always I'd be willing to accept some responsibility towards my child and to make certain sacrifices on his behalf. But if his existence required me to marry/keep in contact with a woman whom I wanted to ditch, I'd think, "Sorry, little man, but you're asking too much." I'd be unwilling to outright ruin my own life for his sake. If I was going to accept the extra baggage of a child, I'd need the compensation of a happy marriage.

That being said, if I had no desire to marry the woman, and she wanted to keep the child, I'd be really, really, really pissed.

10/27/2013 1:56:30 AM

Random tangent - I know a guy that is such a love sick piece of shit (he's always falling for women that barely acknowledge his existence and he thinks they're dating. Yea, it's fucking creepy.) he offered to raise some random chicks kid.

Later, when he grudgingly realized she didn't want anything to do with him, he told everyone they had broken up as if they had ever dated. Hilarious shit. He spent tons of money on her and even paid for her to go to vegas, LOLOLOLOL.

Stating that you have no interest in acting like a father and letting that be the end of it is a far cry from suggesting, begging and potentially harassing a woman to get an abortion.

Trying to influence someone to change their position is a symptom of lack of respect for their ability (or right) to make that decision. Which I view as problematic in the context of consensual sex and prior knowledge of what it takes to make a baby.

If you don't wish to impregnate a female, use a fucking rubber, don't be drunk and none of this bullshit withdrawal method stuff with women you don't care to reproduce with. It's really that simple. 'Even if she is on the pill'. (protip- asking that question during sex doesn't count!) One could even abstain from fucking women one didn't like enough to gracefully bear the consequences of an unwanted pregnancy. Which should be announcing your lack of participation and preparing your finances for paying child support or an abortion, if she asks- without having you so kindly 'suggest' it.

10/28/2013 3:53:02 PM

If she can have the baby without your input, you can leave the country without hers

Yeah, nevermind all the women out there that tell you they're on the pill and to not worry about using a rubber, or even specifically say they don't want you using a rubber.

Poor men, having unprotected sex with women they don't take time to know well enough if they're really using the pill or not. Poor men, not deciding to wear a condom despite their partner's urging to forget it. Poor men, choosing to impregnate a woman and then not having to undergo a medical procedure to resolve it after being urged to do so by people who clearly don't give a fuck about them. Yes, the world is really quite unfair for men and their pricks.

complete load of bullshit. even if i deeply, deeply cared about someone, i would prefer an abortion to a baby at this point in my life. if the suggestion offends you, perhaps you should realize that life isn't fair, and grown-ups sometimes need to have difficult, grown-up conversations

also, it's not only about the adults. children of single parents are at a significant disadvantage

How about women take ownership of their bodies and the babies that they choose to have out of wedlock.

It's 2013. Having sex with a female should not mean you have to cook pancakes in the morning; much less support a child for 18 years. You know what to do if you don't want to get your body pregnant. If you do choose to get pregnant without a husband you know the consequences you are likely to deal with regardless of the laws that are on the books.

I really believe the legalities of making a man fiscally responsible for a child he neither chose nor wants hurts women more than it helps them. This notion that some random dude you slept with is responsible for your child's well being (and therefore your well being since the two are directly related) just doesn't pan out 100% of the time in real life. You can bitch about it all you want, but that's the reality.

hi, grown-up here. no need to infantilize this conversation by referring to ourselves as such.


The fact that YOU prefer an abortion to a baby is immaterial, and it is rude and wrong to put out there unless you're specifically asked.

A woman can decide raise a child on her own and have a happy life regardless of having no fatherly involvement, something to which many children of single moms can attest. She can also decide to terminate the pregnancy without you holding her hand and pushing her into it (or protesting, Smath74), and she can make that decision without you attempting to influence her one way or another.

A woman can comprehend the gravity and potential difficulty in raising a child alone without having her capability undermined and being pushed into medical decisions by parties who may be uniformed as to all the risks in her particular case. The only information that's required to make that decision is whether or not you're interested in being a part in the clump of cell's potential life. Anything beyond that is boorish and immature. And if you can restrain yourself from crossing that line, I think you should be rewarded by not being referred to as a 'deadbeat dad', but rather a 'sperm donor'.

why? what's your opinion on abortion? seems like it might be relevant.

Quote :

yes and there are ways for a woman to have a child without involving an unwilling party. of course it is ultimately up to her but it's pretty selfish to not consider the impact on the lives of the potential child and the child's father (and each of your respective families)

i know that if i got a girl pregnant, and she wanted it and i didn't, i would feel pretty much obligated to be a part of the kid's life.

Quote :

by this weird definition, any discussion between two people can be seen as "attempting to influence" the other person.

Let's try something here. Repeat after me. N - O. NO. No.

Just like women have to take responsibility, men also have to take responsibility. If you don't want a baby or some nasty STD, you just say NO or take responsibility for not saying no. Just like I'm immediately suspect of a guy who doesn't want to use a condom, I'd probably be pretty damned suspicious of a woman who says it's ok not to use a condom unless I'm practically married to the broad. Y'know, if I had a penis. I mean damn, it's pretty easy not to get pregnant and just as easy not to get someone pregnant.

So yeah, if some chick wants to give you the AIDS and take a load of your baby batter, peace out. Go home. Use your hand. There will be other women. You're not that desperate.

10/29/2013 9:07:40 AM

Fair enough, but when a woman deliberately lies about properly using BC in order to sucker a guy into accidentally knocking her up, she's the fucked up one. Blaming the dude for that is like blaming a girl for getting raped because she was drunk and dressed slutty. Yeah, she shouldn't have placed herself in a risky situation, but there's only one person responsible for raping her.
