That's true. But children get shafted in one way, and they are the only ones who didn't choose anything.
Somebody needs to pay for kids, There are two likely suspects. Their petty problems are virtually irrelevant in light of the child's needs.

That said, that shouldn't deprive men of the right to stand up for ourselves when we do get the short end of the stick.

Yeah, walking away from a defenseless child is how a real man stands up for himself. I guess I missed that.

When men's rights suffer, we should fight to even them out. When women's rights suffer, we should fight to even them out. Basically, when anyone's rights suffer, it's up to us to find a way to fix the problem, because we're all human, and we're all in this together.

But the solution offered in this thread is a nonstarter, because it is abandoning children. It may suck but you can't walk away. Every child wants to know his or her father. If that child knows the father - as is his or her RIGHT - he or she is entitled to some relationship with him, and to support.
The 1 out of 1000 births where the man did use a condom and the woman had the child against his will aren't sympathy cases. Man up, deal with life.
