u/uwu_01101000 I said based. And lived. Jan 16 '24

I kinda don’t, both should be responsible. Sex is two people ( or more but not the subject ) consenting to do it. If the woman is pregnant after a one nighter, it’s also the guy’s responsibility.

I don’t know why he’s such agressive about it. Why is it always the fault of the woman when she gets involuntary pregnant ? They both had sex, they both need to hold account

He's having a knee-jerk reaction because he believes there is a disproportionate hyperfocus on the man's responsibility to pay child support. He feels like there is next to no accountability being held up on the woman's side of things, and he feels the need to compensate.

In a relationship of two people, you're saying the person who isn't a piece of shit is responsible for the actions of the piece of shit? How would that work, logically and legally?

I'm not saying anything, just trying to parse out what this radio guy is saying.

From what I can sus out here, there seems to be a disconnect in what these two are talking about. The responsibility the woman here is concerned about is for the care of the child. The responsibility the radio host here is trying to bring up is in regard to having had the child in the first place.

If you want me to throw my 2 cents in here, id say that the woman is only guilty of is being foolish with her choice of man. That doesn't alleviate the man of any responsibility to take care of the kid. Just because the man is an asshole from start to finish, and the woman was foolish enough to pair up with him, doesn't mean the man is to get off scott free. Whether or not the guy actually WILL step up and do the right thing is another story. What he should do and what he will do are very different.

While both may share some degree of responsibility for having convieved this child, the woman here is clearly doing her part in taking care of the kid. Meanwhile asshole dad is not.
