The responsibilty of bearing and caring for…Read More children makes it difficult if not impossible for a woman to support herself during that time. It is the man's responsibility to do this. So for good reason women look for reliable men to to take care of them. In the absence of reliable men big government steps in and becomes the husband. Destruction of the family and ultimately our nation is the objective of women's lib. If you don't like The USA try places like Saudi Arabia where women are treated as livestock. (The Saudis and many other Islamic nations would very much like to take over the USA). Leave it to a sick puppy like Jac Flanders to spatter his verbal vomit all over the message boards. And the indecated masses lap it up like candy

No matter how bad a man wants to become a father, it's up to some woman to decide to provide a child for him. Traditionally in our society, men are obligated to pay for dating and are expected to afford to provide for the family as women seek this economic stability in men, and will often dismiss a lesser paid man as a potential mate. Perhaps when most women are paying for everything or contributing equally while first dating, and continued into the relationship or when raising a family after marriage, then economic equalities will become more important.
