Quote by: Isherwood As to abortion and related topics of great concern to women much more than men, I'm in the "Our Bodies, Ourselves" camp. Not a very popular opinion to have these days, but I prefer to trust women to decide their own fates without excessive input from the males.
Men really need to get over this "a baby is an equal creation of the two of us" crap. Men get to do something they enjoy anyway without protection. They give up a few million sperm in the process. And they are done. That's it...have a cigarette...take a shower...check back in 9 months to get the results. Women get to have this "thing" grow inside them for 9 months. I cannot conceive of such a thing. It's actually quite a bizarre event. . |
I disagree. The real test is when a women decides about the future of a pregnancy. In all fairness, if she wants to keep a child against the males wishes, she should accept all financial responsibility for that decision. If a woman is unwilling to accept this decision, then she should accept the decision of a male to force her to keep the child even if she doesnt want it. Then you will have true equality. Most feminist movements are all about having their cake and eating it too. I want to choose but I also want to make you responsible for my choice.
How many solo mothers do we see supported by the state that knew that the father didnt want the kid and still decided to keep it? How many men are paying for a womens choice to keep an unwanted child? It takes two to tango, how come you are prepared to accept that only one should be able to make a choice about the result? Hardly fair.
Then you have a court system that is biased towards the mother being awarded custody, irrelevant of the mothers suitability for this position.
So I disagree, the quotes I listed in my thread header gave warning of an event that was yet to come to pass. Now we see the fruits of the feminist labour. Independence without responsibility, the breakdown of the family unit which all evidence points to as the best unit for rearing and raising our children and a demand for equality as long as that equality comes on the feminist terms.
I dont see equality here, I see inequality and sexism and it is rife and is to be found in all walks of life from our schools through to our justice system.
