You don’t know me.
If you noticed I agreed with your statement. Absent parents should support their children both financially and emotionally. If they don’t do so willingly one has the option of court action and if the absent parent cannot be located it says a lot about their choice of partner.
I see families as being more than a married couple with children. When these relationships break down leverage is used. Men do use money as Women use children in these conflicts. No one comes out looking good or smelling of roses. Quite often it comes down to balancing conflicting rights.
That is what I meant when I said you should not use family breakdown as an argument to advance female emancipation.
I didn’t mention abandoned children you did.
alot of women get into these positions yes, but not alone,, they cannot impregnate themselfs.. so the bloke runs off to fa la la land and leaves the girls alone to make some heavy decisions!!
I would like to see women take control of their lives before such a scenario arises. Having children with an irresponsible partner indicates a lack of choice. Accidents happen but not in most cases. When does the independence start? Before or after conception? I would like to see independence start with making informed life choices.
You are not going to get any argument from me opposing quality child care, addressing the disparity in gender income or most other touchstone issues that help to empower women.
Where you will get an argument is blaming this situation on men who are all “off drinking and doing drugs”.
Women do prevent men from seeing their children, poison the child’s mind against the father and play the innocent victim. Not all or even the majority but some. I don’t make assumptions based upon that.
now a days you have to worry if the next guy who will come into your life will be a child molester so you have to watch who you date.. lots of weirdos out there!!
As a responsible parent (absent or not) should.
I wouldn’t however base sweeping generalisations upon such a small possibility. Nor would I base sweeping generalisations upon the fact that the vast majority of infanticide is perpetrated by the child’s own mother.
you have no idea how hard it is for single mothers
Again you don’t know me
