Why are men responsible for babies?

[Eyeball Chambers]

Logically - Why are men responsible for babies?

Men can't be pregnant. Women are the ones who conceive and grow a baby. At this point its their thing.

I'm a good christian trump supporter I like to think. I just don't understand this at all. I'm definitely not saying men shouldn't step up but I feel like the burden should be on women?

Is it just that as society we've decided to not really be totally fair for the benefit of society as a whole?

[Eyeball Chambers]

I ask here because I get bitched out when I ask in real life. My friends have had their girlfriends "accidentally" get pregnant. How is that now a life changing problem for my male friends? They're not pregnant and the ladies knew thet THEIR bodies would produce a baby if exposed to sperm.

Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of your child’s life?

Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of your child’s life?

I personally would. I just don't know how we're legally locking peoole into something that isn't really their problem.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Does this make any sense or has exposure to syphilis driven me mad??

Men are responsible based on 1000s of years of human history. Women weren’t consider men’s equals for much of history.

Today we are equals on some levels, but centuries  of human behavior takes time to reset.

[Twaddle]

Half of a child's DNA is from the father, and half from the mother.  It's very simple.

If your friends don't want the responsibility of a child, they shouldn't be having sex with women.

When Women are exposed to sperm women grow babies.

[Eyeball Chambers]

It really has nothing to do with men. It would be like blaming a tree for your nut allergy when you know you're alergic to nuts.

birth control is a man's responsibility. 

why? its in a women's Biology/DNA to get pregnant.  going against thousand of years of evolution.... good luck

women are meant to give birth and have babies. its at the core of what a women is meant to do - have babies!!

My issue with the abortion and equal rights situation regarding men and women.

Bill and Susan have been dating awhile. Bill makes $150K a year, Susan makes $100K. During one New Years Eve party Bill and Susan have a little too much to drink and they have sex without using protection. As luck would have it, Susan ends up pregnant.

As it stands, 100% of the decision to have the child or abort is with Susan. Bill, who can certainly chime in, has no say in the decision.

Lets say Bill has always wanted a child and really wants Susan to have this child. She says she doesn't want it so she's getting an abortion. Bill says he will sign any and all documents relieving her of any financial or parenting responsibilities if she will have their child. She says no. Bill has no legal recourse.

However, if Bill doesn't want to have the child, no interest in having children and Susan still wants the child, Bill is on the hook for child support for the next 18 years. Susan has the legal system on her side.

I don't see anything remotely "equal" about that

By that logic a man allowing the use any form of birth control with a woman would be going against 1000s  of years of evolution.

Men are meant to get women pregnant.

You Sir have been brainwashed.

Perhaps because it's difficult to raise kids as a single parent? If the guy "brings home the bacon" and the mother doesn't have to work, then most of the responsibility for the child is on her. Oh, and it takes a man or his seed to make a baby - which is all pleasure and no work. Pregnancy on the otherhand is a chore, lasting around 9 months. A better question is why would any woman in her right mind want to have and raise a baby alone?

Having children is life changing for both women and men.

The man has to share the responsability because:

• Both sperm and an egg are needed to conceive a baby.
• Both men and women know sex can lead to a pregnancy. But lust can cloud people's judgment and they take risks.
• Most people are affectionate towards their children. You may have heard about "maternal instinct" before, well, men can feel that too.
• Fortunately, our society has agreed that both parents must share the responsability, and there are laws that inforce taking care of children.

How is this even a question?

That's a big part of my thinking on it. It's their baby literally lol

Do you REALLY believe this?

It's her issue though, the ball is in her court.

[Eyeball Chambers]

Yes, I 100% believe the responsibility of not getting pregnant or supporting the baby should be on her. She's the one who gets pregnant. She better make sure it is with someone who is into it.

[Eyeball Chambers]

When I was like 14 my dear southern granny told me protection should be the womens responsibility if she doesn't want a baby. What a lovely woman.

Women only want "equality" when it benefits them.

Although it is the woman who bares the discomfort and sometime pleasure of pregnancy, I think the father should have some say as to choosing abortion or birth. In your example, if Bill has always wanted a child, he should not get involved with a woman who doesn't want one. There are some things which are important for couples to agree upon. Having children is one of those things.

Exactly, and if Susan doesn't want to raise a baby alone she should not allow Bill to cum in her.

[Primemuscle]

Legally and morally it isn't her issue, it is their issue, as in "we are pregnant". Unfortuantely, with the 'me' generation everything is someone else's problem and never theirs. Too many people have little or no sense of responsibility.
