Since forever, the offspring of a married couple are the husbands responsibility. She’s legally his daughter. He should pay.
Men used to strongly consider the character of the women they married. It’s more important than looks.
You stated: “Since forever, the offspring of a married couple are the husbands responsibility. She’s legally his daughter. He should pay.”
This ANCIENT LAW was accepted before there was a test that POSITIVELY PROVED who the father was. He was “poking” her before they got married while the whore was “poking” others. When she got pregnant he had the choice to marry her or pay child support for another dog’s puppy (unknown to him) for the next 18 years. What a Bitch!
As long as we don’t have a “MEN’S RIGHTS” movement this will go on forever.
“Men used to strongly consider the character of the women they married.”
That was a long, long, long time ago. People of my advanced age married for life and most marriages did so. Today it’s different. Check out the average length of marriages today.
BIG DIFFERENCE!
You advvocate3 for the enslavement of this man...why?
Since forever, with the financial responsibility came custody. The father got custody.
If the wife gets custody, she should also get the financial responsibility to pay for the child.
You can't make this up.
The judge refuses to enforce his parental rights. The judge is more than willing, however, to enforce his responsibilities.
Such an unjust situation cannot last, nor should it.
I suspect those such as you with a traditional view of men's responsibilities would disapprove of the society you would deny helping to create.
This is just one reason (but an excellent one) why marriage is dying. Birth control, unilateral abortion and no fault divorce have changed the rights and responsibilities of women. Their roles have evolved for greater options and less responsibility.
Yet you would leave men stuck with traditional responsibilities, locked in the same old roles. This makes marriage an irrational act for men. Some will be guilted by talk such as the nonsense about refusing to grow up, but that number will shrink.
One need only see the roles played by the men...the biological father, who wants no part of the responsibility for his child...and the responsible if naïve husband, who gets to listen to those such as yourself lecture about irresponsibility...to understand this forces us to a place of which you would disapprove.
Reward irresponsibility and punish responsibility, and see what kind of society results. You're responsible.
A very interesting and profound statement...
I know some folks will have to look this word up in the dictionary...
"Courtship" was a means of revealing over time and walking though steps to see who was qualified to be a lifetime partner with you...
The hook up culture destroyed that notion
My bride of 36 years and I shacked up for about six months and realized we were doing it wrong...
We moved apart and I "courted" her for over a year until we were sure we were the ones God wanted to be together for a lifetime...
Yes, that meant no sex...Lots of cold showers...
That year was worth the 36 plus happy and joyful years we have had and will have until death parts
