Re: Rant Thread:
Sorry you're just using BS pro-life rhetoric here, and different measures for both people involved.
I agree with people who said that ideally you agree what you will do in case of a pregnancy before sex.
Still, people change their minds.
Yes, there is a third human involved (if carried to term), which is why the law makes sure that person is, on a very basic level, provided for.
But that's it. You can't legislate involvement, you can't legislate love.
You can't generally make someone who doesn't want to have kids want one. And, if the guy would just resent the kid for ruin his life it's better they're not in contact anyway.
But frankly, if your partner feels that way, I feel that as the female partner you should really consider abortion. I mean, yes, it's your choice, but that choice does not exist in a vacuum. I believe kids should be wanted (not tolerated) by both parents.
Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 01:47 am (UTC)(link)I quoted the part of your reply that I was referring to. You were just talking about the father, and so was I. You're using some kind of bullshit magical thinking to believe that a woman has the same option to just "walk away" as a man does.
Re: Rant Thread:
If you're talking psychologically: yes the decision is harder on her. But you're comparing apples to oranges.
Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 02:16 am (UTC)(link)For some women. Not all. I know more than one woman who has had an abortion, and for them there was no question or debate as to whether they should do it or not. They didn't want to be/weren't ready to be mothers, so taking that step was a given for them.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 02:52 am (UTC)(link)And what about the guy? He gets to skip off with his dick wagging between his legs like a dog to the next woman.
Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 03:08 am (UTC)(link)- birth control fails
- some women sadly lie about using birth control, or use it incorrectly
Between two people having sex, there should be trust. If a woman who is a permanent girlfriend/wife says she's on birth control, a man has reasonable cause to believe so. If it turns out she isn't, he has every right to refuse a parental role.
A woman has even more options of protecting herself against pregnancy than men - more so, she has a mouth, she can refuse sex without a condom (hell, I do - not that the bf would want to without, because we're both pretty dead set on the no babies thing).
What you're arguing is that biology isn't fair - well, it isn't. I don't like it either - but save for sterilizing everyone in puberty and making fertility opt-in, you're not going to change that.
Re: Rant Thread:
But really, anon, you sound like you have a deep dislike for men, in general, and a very shewed view of sexual relationships in general.
Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 04:07 am (UTC)(link)Just wondering about the "a woman has more options about preventing pregnancy" bit, though. Yes, I think that if a woman agrees to unprotected sex, she is just as responsible if a pregnancy should occur as the man is. But you're not saying that women should be held more accountable because they have more options, are you?
Re: Rant Thread:
Not more accountable, but certainly not less so. My point is OP sort of presented women as passive creature who submit to sex, while in reality they are equal in the decision to have sex (and precautions to pregnancy).
Simply from a practical point of view, there are simply more birth control options to women. A man who does not want a vasectomy, really is down to just condoms. Women have several options there (and can choose to double up birth control, for example an IUD) - if used together with a condom, you're "double" safe so to speak, which is not something a man can enforce, but a woman certainly can do if she is really worried about pregnancy. If that makes sense.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 04:10 am (UTC)(link)If he was willing to stick his dick in unprotected, then he should have to pay for the human being he created. Yes, boohoo, I thought sex was just to make my penis feel good ;-;. Nooope.
Re: Rant Thread:
And, I think in most places he WILL be paying, you just can't force him to be a dad.
Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 07:30 am (UTC)(link)That'd be nice and all, but sexuality is still seen as 'taboo' for women. If a man fucks around, he's a stud, yeahhhh babbyyyy. If a woman has sex and gets pregnant, she's a filthy whore who should have kept her legs closed. That's why I just can't agree with the men can walk angle. They already DO most of the time.
Re: Rant Thread:
(Anonymous) 2014-09-25 04:03 am (UTC)(link)And if you want to play the "oh look, and the guy gets to skip off scotfree" card, then maybe she should've picked a better partner to risk having unprotected sex with in the first place, eh?? (NOTE: sarcasm. Obviously sometimes a guy doesn't show his true colors until it's too late)
