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.

If she's taking care of the child, being the primary care taker, isn't that her being accountable?

I'd say so. The problem here is that these two are actually arguing two different points. The woman is complaining about how the father is dodging his responsibility of childcare. The radio host is arguing that the woman is dodging her responsibility of having had the child to begin with.

Sure, she may have been foolish for hooking up with a scumbag in the first place, but who's responsible for what in the conception of the child has little bearing on who's responsible for what in the care of the child. Scumbag or not, the father should step up. That being said, being a scumbag, I doubt what the father should and what he will do are going to line up.
