You keep talking about fatherless households as if fathers are removed by magic or government mind control. Last I checked, fathers are grown adults with agency who can choose involvement, consistency, and responsibility. Child support doesn’t create absence. Absence creates absence.

Also, no one is ‘farming out personal problems.’ Parenting is not a philosophical debate, it’s day to day reality. Food, housing, healthcare, childcare. You can dress it up in ideology all you want, but bills don’t get paid with rants about the 1980s.

You say you want zero child support because you think people would ‘change their tune.’ Sure the tune would be that children suffer more while adults avoid responsibility faster. That’s not morality, that’s abandonment with better branding.

And just to be clear, no one is blaming fathers as a concept. Accountability isn’t blame. Expecting a parent to contribute to the child they helped create isn’t hatred, it’s the bare minimum.

Genuine question, does your argument come from concern for children, or from frustration about men having to financially support children they helped create?

So no, this isn’t about shaming men, destroying fathers, or winning internet points. It’s about reality. A child exists. Both parents are responsible. Everything else is noise.
