@melJsaysso I think it is time for a history lesson.

@AaronHeikkila, @BigHeadMafia,
@vhjvh70477682, and @newboots1977, you all may find it interesting.

Mel Jones (@melJsaysso) has read this before. @melJsaysso @AaronHeikkila @BigHeadMafia @vhjvh70477682 @newboots1977 tl;dr — the reason child support exists isn’t for the sake of the children.

Child support exists because women—unlike men—were viewed by society (including by women) to be incompetent in handling their finances and incapable of working enough to care for their kids themselves.

@SamBroseph How can a man choose to become a father? The answer is: he can’t. Parenthood is a decision that rests solely with women. Why should the consequences of that decision be laid at the feet of anyone other than the person who made that decision? @SamBroseph Women have all the choices regarding parenthood. A woman can choose to be a parent if she finds a willing sperm donor. A man cannot choose to become a parent even if he finds a willing egg donor or a willing sex partner. She who has the womb has the choice of parenthood.

@DennyRun @Oneiorosgrip @Michael_B_1970 @DanSull36510584 @pearlythingz Logic is NOT a science.

Science uses inductive reasoning through the scientific method.

Formal Logic uses deductive reasoning and a very limited range of inductive reasoning that is permissible in proofs. Formal Logic is all about the preservation of truth value. @DennyRun @Oneiorosgrip @Michael_B_1970 @DanSull36510584 @pearlythingz Arguments are NOT evidence in and of themselves.

A fallacious argument evidences nothing.

What an argument demonstrates depends upon the quality of the evidence in the argument and depends upon how well the truth value of the evidence is preserved by the argument.

@dede811 @Oneiorosgrip @ajjjjjjj33 Actually, women have all the choices regarding parenthood. A woman can choose to be a parent if she finds a willing sperm donor. A man can’t choose to become a parent even if he finds a willing egg donor or a willing sex partner. She who has the womb has the choice of parenthood. @dede811 @Oneiorosgrip @ajjjjjjj33 Specifically, women have unilateral adoption, safe haven, plan B, etc., to terminate parental obligations whether the woman consented to have sex or not.

Men can’t terminate parental obligations regardless of whether the man had sex, consented to sex, or consented to parenthood.
