“ He has to either skip sex completely, or accept some risk he will be held responsible for a child. He cannot opt out of parenthood.”
What?
He has to skip sex. How is that such a complicated calculus level unsolvable problem.
The point is the complete disparity in the treatment of men and women.
Women are free to:
1) get an abortion
2) have the baby and give it up for adoption
3) have the baby and keep it.
Men (if she chooses option 3) have the choice of
1) paying child support for 18+ years or
2) going to jail
Fairness demands that men have an equal choice, in that they should not be obligated to pay child support involuntarily.
If the woman has the right to walk away, the man should have an equal and corresponding right.
That’s my point exactly. When have you ever heard of a woman told the alternative to pregnancy is to skip sex completely in their life? Doesn’t happen. Women always have an escape hatch for parenthood. Amanda San.
