Give all 15 of the fathers custody of their own children, and they will then pay all of the costs of raising their own children.
That is a completely healthy view.
However, modern society has stripped men of their rights.
Weak men respond to this by insisting that they are then not beholden to any responsibilities either.
Strong men, on the other hand, respond to it by accepting responsibilities but demanding commensurate rights.
Many women respond by simply willfully ignoring the link between the rights of men and the responsibilities of men. And when that link is ignored, society implodes.
We definitely have a system that rewards both males and females for behavior that falls far short of what decent people expect of human beings of either sex. To me, it’s much less important to blame anyone, whether as individuals or as groups, than it is to break the system and change the incentives. That’s not going to happen as long as people are arguing about whose fault anything is.
Do people ever argue about anything else?
principals = principles?
Good point.
Don’t have to worry about it personally. But I’m sure some fathers would like to be able to say “Hell, no. Not my kid. I’ll him or her.” If the father has to pay child support, he should have a veto over abortions.
LOL!
You are right. Welfare queens, NEA grant artists, SS recipients are all the same. We were all robbed the second the government sank its fangs in our paycheck. Just because government makes an invisible box around a certain portion of the taxes you paid with an iffy promise that they will give it back to you some day does not mean the money is still yours and you are entitled to it. Regardless of what special purpose they say the money is being used for, it is GONE just like any other taxes they extorted. I do not care how much anybody paid in, NOBODY is entitled to permanent paid vacation at their neighbor’s expense.
Adam and Eve knew they would have to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives, why should the existence of government make us any different?
