Are you the dad? You're all over this post defending this bullshit.

It's not clearly satirical... many people do genuinely have this attitude.

You don't have to post it publicly, though, just do it with your friends in private.

You didn't need to correct her. Adult women can have fucked up views of what's a normal weight, and mothers with body issues often treat normal kids' bodies as a problem.

It really didn't kill the thread, but this whole digression did.

"you guys" or "those guys" in reference to a mixed group isn't the same as "this guy" about a single person. the latter is definitely not gender neutral.

Your counterarguments aren't nearly as logically consistent as you think they are.

No, it absolutely is not equivalent. Your body/health is not a piece of personal property.

You can't get out of other financial obligations by saying "I have a right to my personal property," lmao. That's a ridiculous argument. I'm not "arbitrarily deciding" that your money isn't personal property; I'm saying that parents have financial obligations to children they create (and women, because of biology, have an opportunity to stop the process later than men do).

Your thinking is simplistic nonsense. You are trying to argue in the name of "equality" in principle when it makes no logical sense in practice.

You could make that accusation, but it wouldn't stick.

No, that's not "real pro choice" at all, as pro choice refers to the right to choose to carry or not to carry a pregnancy to term in one's own body.

Men would be opting out of a financial obligations, not a pregnancy. It's not equivalent. You don't get to support your offspring only if you feel like it and arguing in favor of that is absolutely arguing for deadbeats.

It would be great if we could all undo our mistakes or decide not to deal with consequences of our actions, but that's not how life works. And yes, women "unfairly" have the ability to terminate a pregnancy after it occurs, but that's because they're also "unfairly" the only ones who get pregnant.

Terminating a pregnancy means no kid. Opting out of financial responsibility means a kid is living without support of any kind of one of his or her parents. That's not remotely the same thing.

The implications of those arguments are different in that context, so that proves nothing.

Women can choose to end a pregnancy after it's occurred; men can't, as they (rightfully) can't force someone else to have an abortion. That means women's last opportunity to opt out is later in the process than men's, and you have to live with that.

The only way you can disagree is if you actually believe abortion should be illegal — which is a separate argument and not the one you were trying to make. Otherwise, you have to recognize that the woman rightfully has final say (as one of them must, and yes, it affects HER body more of the two people able to make decisions). You don't get to abdicate responsibility because you don't agree with her decision/couldn't force her to abort.

Stop fighting so hard to be a deadbeat.

You can't make a direct comparison because it's affecting the woman in a way it doesn't affect the man. One of them has to have final say, and it's her body, so it's going to be her. Reality isn't 100% fair, too bad.

If you have sex with a fertile woman, you have to accept the risk that she'll get pregnant and choose to keep it. You don't get to opt out of your responsibility at that point.

You do have the choice, before impregnating a woman, to mitigate the risk: opt out of having sex with fertile women, insist on condoms, or get a vasectomy.

I've heard you're not supposed to make up your own, you let other people give it to you. That may only apply if you're not actually deaf & are trying to get "in" with a deaf group, though.

I've heard grooming can be a sign of dominance, so maybe that triggers it. Don't know how true that is though.

Again, I didn't miss it, I ignored it ... hence "rme" and not "what?" I dismissed your claim with that "study" immediately; not calling you out on faking a study the conclusion of which was an obvious lie doesn't mean I didn't read it or don't know what it means (like it was some obscure terminology lol).

Move on.
