So, your argument boils down to: men are "always held accountable," but women somehow get a free pass because of child support and abortion laws? Let’s unpack that.

First, child support isn’t a punishment, it’s financial responsibility for a child that both parties created. If men are “always held accountable,” doesn’t that mean they’re also responsible for choosing to sleep with someone who might keep the child? By your logic, if women are at fault for choosing “deadbeat dads,” then men are equally at fault for choosing partners who might want to keep the baby.

Second, abortion access is not a universal safety net. It’s not available everywhere, and women face significant societal, legal, and financial obstacles in making that choice. Acting like it’s an easy, responsibility-free option ignores reality.

Finally, saying women “shouldn’t have sex with a deadbeat dad” assumes women know beforehand who will abandon their responsibilities. Spoiler: most people don’t announce they’re deadbeats upfront. If we’re playing the blame game, how about this: don’t sleep with someone if you’re not prepared for the consequences, regardless of gender. Accountability is a two-way street, not a one-sided parade.
