Would you reference the men who refuse to mentor any longer as having a fear of something that hasn’t happened, or may not happen?

Would you reference fathers who’s wives lie about them during divorce as having unrealistic fears?

Here you seem to completely dismiss any need to cover up, or use a breast pump. Sorry, that breast bump thing works for most mothers. If you can’t use one, then perhaps going to the pool is just a lousy idea.

The onus is placed on the man to either sit there and risk some charge a woman can think up, or leave.

Nonsense.

Pools also have urine and fecal matter in the water. During summer months there is also a risk of too much exposure to the sun. Attempts to put sunscreen on a small child is also a risk.

Funny how none of that seems to have popped into your mind.

I’ll stand with what I have already stated, and you can still sit there and try to defend the defenseless.

I am perfectly willing to agree that feminism and #metoo has harmed men with lies and false accusations.

But that doesn’t change the basic philosophical and legal logic that your fear of a potential harm (one that has not yet occurred) cannot outweigh the actual and immediate harm of an infant being refused food.

It doesn’t matter that the harm is temporary or negligible because a potential as yet not occurring harm weighs exactly 0 while the actual existing harm (no matter how transitory) to the infants food need is >0.

That’s why the baby’s right to eat will always trump your small but rational fear.
