Living with a soon to be self sustaining tumor that your brain chemicals are telling you to be emotionally attached to for 9mo is an f-ing rounding error compared to the following years that either/both parent will have to expend either directly or indirectly (child support payments) raising the kid.
If a woman can unilaterally abdicate her upcoming responsibility to raise a child then a man should be able to abdicate his obligation to raise the thing in a similar manner. Or you can frame it the opposite way. A man should not be able to unilaterally burden a women with the responsibility of raising a kid and a woman should not be able to do the same to a man.
It's absolutely mind boggling that you do not see the double standard you are advocating for.
- ameister14 4y agoI don't really see a double standard - does the man not have choices over what happens in his body? Lets say two people light a fire together, then one of them leaves. It's possible for the person remaining to take action and put out the fire, but they don't, and it spreads. In that scenario, because the first person (who left) could have reasonably foreseen that the fire would spread, they are responsible as well as the second person (who stayed).
