Things to think of before you get married again..
"Fred" wrote in message . net... Ken Chaddock wrote: Fred wrote: Gini wrote: "teachrmama" wrote ............................ And you, Fred, are totally *dismissing* WOMEN'S responsibilities! I am a woman, and I find it demeaning that you keep harping on what MEN should do, but not a hint about how WOMEN should handle their responibilities in the same situation. Everything a woman does after the sex act is a consequence of where that mean old man left his semen. Nonsense! Or maybe I'm just reading you wrong--why don't you clearly delineate what the woman's responsibilities are after the consequence of pregnancy becomes an issue. == A ride to the CSE office? (Because she's *owed* it, of course.) I guess that the matter is best explained by reference to the theme of the game Fable: "For every choice, a consequence." It's too bad that you seem to grasp the obvious fact that all post conception choices are the woman's and therefore, in accordance with the precepts of "Natural/Fundamental" Justice, all the consequences that follow from those choices should also be hers. I am aware of what Canada's notion of "natural justice". I know that it allows Canada to declare age discrimination to be legal even though it is unconstitutional; see McKinney v. University of Guelph. So if you expect me to buy any argument based on that concept, you are swimming upstream. I read your entire message. What it boils down to is yet another attempt to evade your responsibilities by ignoring the doctrine of informed consent. Sorry, but men can't just spread their semen hither and yon and walk away from the consequences thereof because those consequences are ... *inconvenient*. That's "inconvenient" as in financially inconvenient, because at the end of the day it's always about the money with y'all. It's about RIGHTS and equality. This is another of those unintended consequences of rabid feminism. If you want to hold rights for only women then only women will have the responsibility that goes with those rights. Logic dictates that either women share the rights or accept the whole responsibility. In a way, you are right about the money aspect; many women use any means available to dig into a man's pocket and this is just another way that sleazy women utilize children for income. Phil #3 It's disgusting, really. |

It's too bad that you seem to grasp the obvious fact that all post conception choices are the woman's and therefore, in accordance with the precepts of "Natural/Fundamental" Justice, all the consequences that follow from those choices should also be hers. So he chooses to spread his semen hither and yon, and she chooses to let him spread it in her. And let's say that the consequence is pregnancy. But that's as far as the "consequence" of his "spreading his sperm around" go. After that the woman has many options and CHOICES...even if she decides (note the word "decides") not to abort the fetus, that to, is a CHOICE, the consequence of which will most likely be the birth of a child... And if the child is born, how does that absolve the man from any responsibility for or to the child? Isn't it still 50% genetically his child, and legally his child as well? Now there are other choices to be made, in this case by her, and from those choices will spring consequences in turn. Yes, as I noted above, but ALL post conception choices are HER choices, to hold him responsible for the consequences that follow from HER choices is fundamentally unfair, unjust and, on top of all that, most likely unconstitutional... So because she has choices that pertain strictly to undergoing (or not undergoing) a medical and surgical procedure, you think this absolves the man from any responsibility, even though it's still his child? When the father legally has 50% of the rights to match his responsibilities, the we can come back to his responsibilities toward the child. Until he becomes an actual parent in the life of the child he helped create--50/50 with the mother, he also should not be the bankroll. |

Tripped over it again, did you? Phil wrote: You also raise another interesting problem: what if the mother doesn't tell him about the pregnancy, does he STILL have responsibilities and what are they? It's still his semen, right? I mean, just because he doesn't know that he did something doesn't mean that he didn't do it. So yeah, he still has a degree of moral accountability, and if the child is alive, he definitely has legal accountability. How so? Because it's his semen. "His semen, his choice, his responsibility." What about the moral responsibility she should have to at least inform him of the pregnancy? You keep trying that sleazy trick, but it's not gonna work. That she has such a moral responsibility does not serve to negate any responsibility that he has. What I'm asking you to do is to accept the responsibilities that *you* have, and you respond by resisting that with every fiber of your being. Disgusting. Your little feminist biology lesson is based on wishful thinking and not established biological information. How hard is it to understand eggs are a scarcer resource than sperm? And having a child takes a greater investment on the part of a woman. Because of those biological facts woman by nature should be more selective in mates because a bad choice has long term implications and is a reflection on her discretion in selecting the right sperm. To say men are responsible for women's bad choices in sperm is to transfer the biological misjudgments made by women to men. The femwits who can't accept their biological destiny want to have the state step in with remedies to cover up their biological mistakes. The state's solution is to use men's money to cover-up the lack of responsibility by women who don't select good mates. You might as well talk to a brick, Bob. This one can't see beyond their own hatred for men, much like a couple of other gender-feminists I could name. Have you seen the TV commercial where hundreds of sperm are shown swimming across the screen and the announcer talks about all the available choices and then the sperm morph into PC mice? It reminds me of these feminist types who could have chosen better sperm providers just as easily as they could have chosen a better PC mouse providers. :-) And, in case you are wondering, I find it offensive male reproductive biology is used in such a light-hearted way to sell a product. You would NEVER see a woman's egg used in such a whimsical way. But ya sure don't mind when they use her tits and ass to sell things, huh? Wow, Bob. I didn't know you were an ad man! How interesting. |

Naw, I've all but given up TV. I watch a movie on satellite occasionally but can't stand the constant ads proporting 'dad to be an idiot' or 'supermoms save the day' and the shows themselves must have been written by NOWcows.

You would NEVER see a woman's egg used in such a whimsical way. Well, I guess it's true that the typical TV audience is women and children gauging from the content which seems to be aimed at making mom feel good about her bad choices in life and numb children's ability to think or reason for themselves. It seems children don't read, can't spell and have such a limited knowledge of the world outside their own neighborhood, at least in the US. Then some of the books they use to teach in public schools, especially history and social studies.... GRRRRRRRRRR. Phil #3 |

What I'm asking you to do is to accept the responsibilities that *you* have, and you respond by resisting that with every fiber of your being. To say men are responsible for women's bad choices in sperm is to transfer the biological misjudgments made by women to men. I'm jumping in here for a second because I have not seen a single sentence Fred has written that suggests he is saying men are responsible for women's bad choices. All he has said is that men should take responsibility for where he puts his own penis. His ejaculation is due to him placing his penis inside of the woman and engaging in the sexual act with her. Pregnancy is a possible outcome of the act, which in most cases the act itself is mutually agreed on. So I'm not sure why anyone is reading more into someone stating that a man should take responsibility for his choice - where to put his penis. At the end of the day, it's all about the money. These males Now they're "males", not "men"; Wording used by gender feminists. are trying to evade responsibility for their choices so as to falsely justify not having to pay child support, or medical bills, or whatever else they might have to spend on someone else as a result of their choices. And "someone else" includes the child. Your opinion... and incorrect, I might add. I could understand an argument based on the child support laws in a given jurisdiction being based only on the income of the noncustodial parent. That's simply not equitable. But that is not the case in every jurisdiction, and even if it is in a given jurisdiction, it speaks to challenging or changing the law, as has been done here in Minnesota, not using an inequitable law as justification to evade supporting his child. All I'm asking is that both men and women take responsibility for their choices. What's wrong with that? No, all you've done is whine and weep about MAN'S... er... "males" responsibility. You've said jack **** about women's. You cannot perceive that you are holding men to a standard to which you refuse to hold women. In short, you are a gender feminist, IMO. It has been pointed out to you that after conception, the woman has the ability to make any one of several choices, one of which involves voluntarily becoming a parent; rights that men *do not* have, not even ONE but yet here you are, wringing your hands and whining about "equity" and accusing me of being a bigot for failing to agree with your biased point of view.

Your little feminist biology lesson is based on wishful thinking and not established biological information. It's not his semen? Whose semen is it, hers? You're gonna tell us that she impregnated herself? Or are you going for immaculate conception? Actually, all your questions are irrelevant. How hard is it to understand eggs are a scarcer resource than sperm? And how, exactly, does that negate the biological fact that it's his semen, and that without his semen there's no pregnancy? What y'all are all about is negating the male's responsibility by pointing to the female's responsibility. Well, last time I read a biology book, it took two to procreate, which makes both of them responsible for the outcome. Actually, what you think is irrevelant. To say men are responsible for women's bad choices in sperm is to transfer the biological misjudgments made by women to men. So don't say that. I haven't, and you shouldn't, either. Actually, no one cares what you say. The femwits who can't accept their biological destiny want to have the state step in with remedies to cover up their biological mistakes. The state's solution is to use men's money to cover-up the lack of responsibility by women who don't select good mates. And as always with y'all shirkers, it's all about the money. At least you are honest enough to admit it, I'll give you that. Actually, we are just toying with you so you can make a bigger ass of yourself. Problem is, the facts don't support your desired conclusions, so you're forced to resort to falsehoods, spin, and assorted trickery. But you can't get past the essential facts: "His semen, his choice, his responsibility." "Her body, her choice, her responsibility." "For every choice, a consequence." Actually, nobody buys your bull**** conclusions! And actually, by the way, nobody believes you are a "Fred." I'd like to buy a vowel Phil #3 |

If you don't want to breed, don't have sex with a fertile woman, == And how is he to know when she is fertile? Isn't a vasectomy only cheaper than a month of child support if child support is more than a vasecotmy? How much is a vasectomy? How much is a tubal ligation ? Here's something interesting: "The cost of vasectomy is typically 3 to 4 times less than the cost of tubal ligation. Although prices vary, regionally, vasectomy costs generally range from about two hundrend fifty to one thousand dollars, while the cost of tubal ligation often begin at about one thousand dollars and may go as high as twenty-five hundred dollars. The cost difference is mainly due to the fact of where each procedure is performed; an office procedure vs. a hospital procedure." http://womenshealth.about.com/cs/ste...zhisorhe_3.htm But it's not really about cost, is it? It's about taking responsibility. Apparently, it's about applying responsibility to only men as noted in your next statement. Your bigotry is showing. But on we go ... Equality is bigotry??? You aren't talking about equality. You are talking about inequality, as in assigning responsibility to one in a matter where it is properly assigned to both. Men and women share responsibility for any pregnancy that occurs when they agree to have sex. BOTH and equally, not just the man. You are bending over backward to promote the idea that men are solely responsible for any pregnancy while saying absolutely nothing about any responsibility the woman may or may not have. Why is that? She's pregnant? Ohmigod! I hadn't even THOUGHT of that. Probably because I can't imagine any man getting drunk enough to get that close to a man-hater like this but I failed to realize that perhaps she became a man-hater when she forgot to ask his name.

And if the child is born, how does that absolve the man from any responsibility for or to the child? If you, Moon Shyne (I'm making a possibly bad assumption here Moon Shyne and if you're not a woman I apologize in advance) go to a sperm bank and become impregnated with donor sperm, and assuming that you let the pregnancy continue to birth, the child you give birth to is the genetic child of the sperm donor, no ? If a child is entitled to support from his/her biological father, what legal fiction absolves this man of responsibility for this child ? Isn't it still 50% genetically his child, and legally his child as well? As above, the issue is *exactly* the same for a sperm donor, actually it's even MORE problematic than that because arguably, the sperm donor *wants* to pass his genetic material along to one or more children where as the unwilling father does not. The *only* difference between these two men is that the first, the sperm donor, is unknown while the other is known and can be targeted Yes, as I noted above, but ALL post conception choices are HER choices, to hold him responsible for the consequences that follow from HER choices is fundamentally unfair, unjust and, on top of all that, most likely unconstitutional... So because she has choices that pertain strictly to undergoing (or not undergoing) a medical and surgical procedure, you think this absolves the man from any responsibility, even though it's still his child? As demonstrated in the sperm donor example above, the fact that this is his biological child or not is fundamentally irrelevant since not *ALL* biological fathers are held responsible for their biological children. On a more fundamental legal level, access to abortion breaks the causal link between intercourse and child birth. With the decision at Roe-V-Wade, a living child can NO LONGER be considered a direct consequence of pregnancy since the mother must make the choice to gestate and give birth. On top of all of this, the "theory" that you promote, of unrestricted genetic liability is abhorrent and leads to miscarriages of justice like the following: STATE of Kansas, ex rel., Colleen HERMESMANN, Appellee, v. Shane SEYER, a minor, and Dan and Mary Seyer, his parents, Appellants. No. 67,978. Supreme Court of Kansas. March 5, 1993. Syllabus by the Court 1. 1. In an action for support of a minor child, the parents have a common- law, as well as a statutory, duty to support their minor child. This duty applies equally to parents of a child born out of wedlock. 2. In an action against a father for reimbursement to the State for support furnished under the aid to families with dependent children program, the fact that the father was under the age of 16 when the child was conceived and born and that the mother may have been guilty of violating K.S.A.1992 Supp. 21-3503, or some other criminal statute, cannot serve to relieve the father of his legal responsibilities towards his child. 3. The issue of consent to sexual activity under the criminal statutes is irrelevant in a civil action to determine paternity and for support of a minor child born of such activity. 4. The State's interest in requiring minor parents to support their children is superior to the State's competing interest in protecting juveniles from their improvident acts, even when such acts may include criminal activity on the part of the other parent. 5. In an action by the State against a minor father for reimbursement of funds paid for support of his child, the fault or wrongdoing of the mother at the time of conception, even if criminal, has no bearing on the father's duty to support such child. The district judge, upon judicial review of the hearing officer's order, determined that Shane was the father of Melanie Hermesmann and owed a duty to support his child, stating: "Okay. I'm ready to rule. It's my view in this case that the Hearing Officer's ruling, which essentially is that a minor may be held legally liable to provide reimbursement to the State of Kansas under K.S.A. 39-701 et seq., is a correct ruling of law and that the issues of consent and the criminal case and so forth are not really relevant in a paternity proceeding, which we're talking about, civil liability to support a child. "Second, I'm going to hold that the State, by proceeding under 39-701 et seq., that there is no discretion in the Court regarding liability. The courts, I believe, are ministerial at that point and are the vehicle for SRS to collect the support and it was error for the Hearing Officer not to assess all of the monies paid jointly and severally liable against both of the parents of this child. "And so I would enter a judgment for all of the SRS reimbursement against Colleen Hermesmann and Shane Seyer jointly and severally for the six thousand plus." The court found that the issue of Shane's consent was irrelevant and ordered Shane to pay child support of $50 per month. The court also granted SRS a joint and several judgment against Shane and Colleen in the amount of $7,068, for assistance provided by the ADC program on behalf of Melanie through February 1992. The judgment included medical and other birthing expenses as well as assistance paid after Melanie's birth. Shane appeals the judgment rendered and the order for continuing support but does not contest the trial court's paternity finding. SRS has not cross-appealed from any of the orders or judgment of the district court. Further, what's not mentioned in this summary of the court appeal is that Colleen Hermesmann was found guilty of statutory rape and gave birth to the the child in prison. When Shane Seyer, supported by his parents, sought custody of the child, it was denied on the grounds that he was a minor child and therefore could not be "responsible" for a child... What hypocrisy, he isn't old enough to be "responsible for" a child but his age (and consent to sexual intercourse) is irrelevant when his *financial responsibility* for the child is considered...humm, can YOU say bias ? ....Ken |
