How smart are they?

I don't know why you would hold the women to a higher standard.

It is not that either side is too stupid to understand consequences. It is just that they think about now and not later...they think about rolling 7 or 11, but not 2, 3 or 12...and besides, they know that if they get a bad roll, they are not as bad off as they used to be, because the stigma is less and the government assistance is full. (Effects are felt at the margins immediately. Every policy step to make it easier to have children out of wedlock increases the number of children out of wedlock, somewhere. As a nation, we have decided this is ok. But lets not pretend it isn't a reality.)

Will there ever be a day when men cannot be held financially responsible for kids they didn't want? - MAS - 1:33pm 7/16/12 (38) [View All]
- Not in this anti-male country. You don't want kids, lady, then keep your legs shut. [NT] - TontoGoldstein - 2:36pm 7/16/12
  - Anti-Male Country.....that's funny. [NT] - Hibakusha - 9:31pm 7/16/12
    - Perhaps not anti-male, but what if instead of men comprising 90% of workplace deaths... - MAS - 10:53pm 7/16/12
      - For being in total control of every level of power, men whine like little girls, you should be - Hibakusha - 11:26pm 7/16/12
        
        Instead of responding with this predictable insult, what about addressing what I posted? - MAS - 11:49pm 7/16/12

        I see where you are going with this whole thread, but I think you are over simplifying. - iairishcheeks - 2:09am 7/17/12
      - Your best post to date, MAS.... - fredyo - 10:56pm 7/16/12

      - The closest statistic I have read is that 30% of children... - MAS - 6:13pm 7/16/12
        
        I am board certified in family law and have never heard that statistic. - DirtyThirty - 10:11pm 7/16/12
        
        Perhaps, but there was the study mentioned here plus another one conducted in Maine or NH. [LINK] - MAS - 10:47pm 7/16/12
        
        That's a really different survey. - DirtyThirty - 11:11pm 7/16/12
        
        Noted. I will retract the statistic. [NT] - MAS - 11:50pm 7/16/12
        
        You may yet obtain the ability to create your own children whom you can then abandon. - NedoftheHill - 6:43pm 7/16/12
        
        Precisely. They are tricked into accepting the children as their own. - MAS - 6:55pm 7/16/12
        
        All effects of policy changes are immediately felt at the margins - NedoftheHill - 11:23pm 7/16/12
        
        That stat does not support your statement. - NedoftheHill - 6:38pm 7/16/12
    - Apropos of nothing, this rant reminds me of a 15 year old TV quote - Iggle - 5:49pm 7/16/12
  - If you want to have that philosophy, Abortion should be 100% illegal. - jakers - 4:04pm 7/16/12
    - Agreed. 100% illegal. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 5:41pm 7/16/12
    - If you have to pay child support, then there should be a presumption of male custody - TontoGoldstein - 4:41pm 7/16/12

        Because they have access to the womb, and therefore maintain the risk inherent in pregnancy. - TontoGoldstein - 9:06am 7/17/12
- Nope, not ever. And it's bullshit. - jakers - 1:56pm 7/16/12
  - I agree with your sentiment but not your logic - McSweeney - 12:05pm 7/17/12
    - Tell me how? - jakers - 2:26pm 7/17/12
      - Location, location, location. - McSweeney - 3:06pm 7/17/12
        
        You're totally misinterpreting my point. - jakers - 3:30pm 7/17/12
  - I say the men should have more of a say where the money goes - IrishmanTX1989 - 2:34pm 7/16/12
    - Exactly - NDNEIL - 4:55pm 7/16/12
