"Whoa! Women are prostitutes now, servicing men with no pleasure for themselves!"
I was making the case that in terms of "benefits" received, the man was receiving a service with a value. Otherwise, he could have simply have gone to a prostitute to be serviced. After all this did start off talking about the money angle. He could hardly be called an innocent victim here. There is no condensension here. In this instance I'm just looking at it from the point of view of an economic arrangement.
We don't know from the article how the DNA test came about do we? In any event it is entirely possible, if not probable, that neither one knew he wasn't the biological father. If that is the case, this is not at all unusual. The number of children born out of wedlock is quite substancial.
The bottom line here is that the man is a total jerk to dump this little girl. He ought to be horsewhipped for his irresponsibility and thoughtlessness.

No, the bottom line, is that you have a problem with reality. Just like a liberal, you wish to assign responsibility to some, and rights to others that dont exist, just because you dont like the outcome.
The facts are that there IS no responsibility of this man, because he IS NOT the father, and never was, no matter what the girl thinks. He is no more thoughtless to this child then you or I, because we have the exact NON-PARENT status as he does.
When you are willing to call yourself irresponsible and thoughtless for not taking care of this child yourself, then you might have a case, but in REALITY that man is as much that childs parent as you or me.
Sorry, it sucks, but its the truth. You cant go around changing the truth to suit you just because it hurts sometimes. Grow up.
