It is incorrect to suggest that men have no choice in the matter. Men do have a choice in the matter. KNOWING that a woman has the right to carry a pregnancy to term or not, and KNOWING that a woman may decide to carry the pregnancy to term whether the man agrees or not, the man's choice is whether to have sex with the woman in the first place, or not.
Simple as that. |
ALG - I love the way you write. Yes, we can all lament that the law is unfair... but men KNOW that the law is currently this way and can make decisions accordingly.
So... as a man, you KNOW if the woman become pregnant, you have no say in the matter and you must pay for the rest of your life. You KNOW she might be tricking you to have your baby... so um... that kind of helps you in deciding whether you will sleep with her, no?
This is probably why men don't marry as much as they used to any more. And probably also why men don't commit to women any more. sigh.
