I think you're right. There should be some provision for a man to sign away his parental rights (and all obligations such as child support) the moment the woman knows she is pregant. I agree it's not fair women to want 100% of the decision not to adopt out or abort but they can demand child support. It isn't fair.

But that being said, sexist things still happen against women, too. Women still make less than a man doing exactly the same type of work. There is still a glass ceiling in some professions. The average women don't get the respect & power that the average men do. We don't get hired if the employer finds out we're trying for a family, but it wouldn't hold back a man from being hired or promoted. Our government & laws are written and upheld by a majority of men.
