CHOOSEY MOTHERS VS CHOICELESS FATHERS
« on: June 25, 1999, 03:00:00 am »
Mr. Sincere, you forgot about the men who polk holes with a pin in a brand new condom still wrapped.First of all, when a man lay down with a woman regardless of what birth control she tells him she\'s on he should protect himself anyway, there are BC for men, you know.  When we meet a man you listen to what he\'s telling you and the woman has to pick sense out of nonsense(vice a versa) sometimes he turns out to be okay and sometimes he turns out to be a dog, but still and all we are not mind readers.  We don\'t all look for the crap we end up in, some people are good malipulators.Now if a woman decide to have a baby against his decision not to, I feel she should\'nt bother him for support and raise her child on her own and explain to the child being that the man was not ready, she decided to have him anyway.(my opinion)Stop blamming the women for kids with no dads cause it can be a womans or mans fault. we all tend put a little faith in our partners and end up REGRETTING it later, sometimes.

Ms RL.....you said \"Mr. Sincere, you forgot about the men who polk holes with a pin in a brand new condom still wrapped.Mr Sincere :No RL......I didnt forget about men who poke holes in a condom.  My post was  about choicless fathers.   Usually men who purposely poke holes in a condom is a selfish male who is probably in a relationship with a woman and plans on raising the child and staying with the woman.  But what were dealing with is a problem,  where women are choosing to get pregnant and the result of that puts the child at risk because the father interests of the man has not been established.   What your talking about doesnt have the same impact, because the interest of the man is to have the child.   However,   I will say this .....deception is wrong no matter who is doing it.RL :\"First of all, when a man lays down with a woman regardless of what birth control she tells him she\'s on he should protect himself anyway, there are BC for men, you know.\" Mr Sincere :RL yes I do know?  Did you read the last part of my first post or did you ignore what I said?  I believe I \"covered\" that.RL :\"Now if a woman decides to have a baby against his decision not to, I feel she shouldn\'t bother him for support and raise her child on her own and explain to the child being that the man was not ready, she decided to have him anyway.(my opinion)\"Mr Sincere: See RL thats part of the problem this society is afflicted with.    People deciding to have a child without the input of the other person is wrong.   The other thing that concerns me is the one track mindset that as long as a woman doesnt bother the man for support it\'s acceptable to have a child under those circumstances.   But I submit......that is a very narrow minded perspective for any adult to make on a childs behalf.    Thats why Im saying,  the child is put at risk, because the selfish mother decides the fate of the child by deception and dishonesty.   I think that creates a potential problem for the child.    Telling the child that the man wasnt ready is not the only lesson a child is subject to learn here.   Children also pick up the lesson that mommy was a selfish conniving , manipulator who wasnt woman enough to have a child without being dishonest.    If the man is not ready or even wants a child.....A woman isnt supposed to go ahead and have a child anyway , just because she wants one.   RL :\"Stop blamming the women for kids with no dads cause it can be a womans or mans fault. we all tend put a little faith in our partners and end up REGRETTING it later, sometimes.\"Mr Sincere :RL.....Why shouldnt we blame those women for deceptively getting pregnant without the mans consent?    There is no need to have regrets.....women have the power to conceive and carry a child , therefore they should be even more conscientious when it comes to protecting the welfare of a childs interests.  A man can come or go,   but ultimately she is going to have to raise that child without the man if necessary.    But why do it deceptively?   If a woman is purposely getting pregnant by deceptive means she should be blamed for initiating the risk of the child having a father but not having a daddy.      Maybe if more understanding was put into this issue..( ONE ISSUE AT A TIME ) ,  problems in our children could be better understood and probably better managed.

Anurra :My thinking, though, if men just plain took the responsibility for keeping their \"boys\" out of the action themselves, they wouldn\'t have to later worry about some conniving manipulator who lied, right?\"Mr Sincere :You are right Anurra, in part.   But the main thing that we should be concerned with is the childs overall welfare and putting the child at risk of not having a father there to help raise the child.    Because the most important issue isnt how sad it is that a man has to protect himself from a conniving manipulator who lied, the child should be the first priority of the main one who usually has to take the brunt of the responsibility.   And it is very common to hear females , who did pull that stunt in order to have a child,   complain later of how sorry some blackmen are.   Well,   my thinking tells me, women shouldnt be complaining about blackmen not taking an active part in the support of a child when you deceptively get pregnant and then expect any man to just fall in line and accept the arrangement.A conscientious man would not want to have a child that way.   And if you look at enough complaints by women,   you would think women would do no wrong except get with the wrong man.   One would think women would have a much higher regard than men for the concerns of a childs welfare.   Which is why ignorant men,  find themselves realizing the hard way that is not necessarily true for those that have no real concern for the child.   All they know is they want a child.The child starting off with both parents prepared to love and raise the child should be the focus for the woman who has the ultimate control of the womb and the cradle. Thats where the control should begin.  Because that is who the child with be nurtured by from the beginning.    The needs of the child.   To me thats more important than any worry a man should have of  being deceived.

Your right, I miss read your post.  All your looking at is the manipulation on women so I take back my post cause I was referring to if a woman got pregnant not by lying but by accident and had the child anyway without his consent.

Mr. Sincere,As I read your post originally, I mentally reviewed a number of situations that I\'ve been personally acquainted with.  First, as a woman, I am familiar with a couple of those conniving manipulator types.  Yes, I definitely, definitely agree with  your point about not having the child\'s best interest in mind.  I think about this really sorry, feeble-minded woman I know who tricked her guy into getting her pregnant.  It was quite deliberate... She is also one of the worst mothers I know of, until she moved off into the sunset with her kid and hubbie in tow... I really feel bad for that poor little boy she has; he\'s one of the saddest examples that not all women know anything about being a loving mother.  I\'m not going into detail, but believe me she\'s a pathetic mother.  The father (later, husband of said-pathetic-mom) is a loving father, but not much in terms of parenting or anything else, eh.  I definitely think women need to have a good sense of themselves and the realities of mothering, versus the father, who really don\'t need to know much beforehand... ultimately, as the primary caregiver, a woman has got to have a child for the right reasons, even if not conceived \"fairly.\"  The only \"equitable\" conniver-turned-mom I know just treated the father as little more than an involuntary sperm donor; fortunately for him, she didn\'t expect anything from him, but that also meant he was ultimately deprived of any future contact with his kid.  She didn\'t want him involved at all with parenting, just the necessary genetic material.  The father is a decent man who was basically the the fly... as in, \"Welcome to my parlor, said the spider to the fly...\"  I think he would\'ve made a decent father given the opportunity, but that choice was ultimately removed from him.Btw, the father in the first scenario (with sorry-pathetic-mom) was warned about her intentions... he didn\'t care nor think about it seriously... until afterwards.  I consider him equally irresponsible and useless since he had clear knowledge beforehand but wouldn\'t accept responsibility for taking care of it.

Simple solution. Don\'t have sex with any one you wouldn\'t possibly want to father/mother a child with.

\"Simple solution. Don\'t have sex with any one you wouldn\'t possibly want to father/mother a child with.\"I think thats easy if you\'ve been able to determine ahead of time that the person doesnt fit your criterior for a possible parent.   You can choose to leave them alone, at that point.   But applying that solution has it\'s limitations when you dont know the person your dealing with.    Being real about this.....how likely is it that people will avoid having sex , until they find out if the other person has the potential to be the parent they would want for their child?    In other words ,  how can we apply that simple solution based on the reality of the sexual habits that people exhibit today?   And the fact that you may find out how a person will act as a parent only when a childs welfare is at issue between them?There is always the risk of finding yourself involved with someone who could turn out to be irresponsible and/or manipulating, and that can happen before or after a child or sex happens.   One never knows a persons true potential for positive or negative until something manifests itself and shows us something we didnt see earlier.   If a baby or child is already on the scene and you wind up wrestling with the other parent over the child ,  then that simple solution , simply shows,  it has it\'s limitations. I also dont see how that simple solution helps one avoid the risk of having a child due to deception.

My, my, this is a very difficult one.  Far too many variables however, I do believe, if your thoughts as a man or a woman, are I DON\'T WANT CHILDREN.  Then you need to think with you head and not your genitals and hormones.  We all know the different situations to where both sides can be conniving.  So why not take precautions and handle the protection yourself.Now, I feel for the men that have fallen prey to the women.  Unfortunately, there are many of them.  However if you had enough common sense and fear that you needed to ask a woman if she was on the pill or whatever then you needed to have just put one on.  I know, the feeling right.  I wish that people could really see and understand the impact that not having one or the other parent can be.  Children don\'t express their deep inner feelings until they are far past childhood then it is too late.  So you will never really know the feelings deep inside that little mind.  Now that tired line of I don\'t want anything from the father, I can do it on my own.  That is all well and cool if you are talking about the money aspect of it.  But a child doesn\'t live on money they live and prosper off LOVE, ATTENTION, and GENIUNE CARING from BOTH parents.  Everything and anything more than that is just a bonus.  So these tired ass people who take their children and run thinking that this has no impact on the child or for that matter the father are just plain ignorant.  Did they ever think about the other players in the game of life?  Did they think that just because they are willing to provide for the child that this doesn\'t affect a man, knowing he has a child, somewhere?  Did they ever stop to think that this child might want someone other than just them in the picture?  I have seen the impact and there is truly an impact.  Now before I get chewed up for these comments.  I am in the situation of raising my child.  I don\'t ask for support because I can provide a roof, food, and clothing, not to mention toys.  But I am in no way capable of giving that love that a father provides, no matter how hard I try.  Now I will be willing to move both heaven and earth to try to keep the rode for my child\'s relationship to her father clean.  So far I haven\'t had to do anything.  He has been there on his own.  He does what he wants.  He loves her the way he wants.  He spends the time he wants.  And this is fine with me because this is who he is and that is who she will need to know.  If I simply had to answer the question posed \"Does the child have a choice of who his or her father is?\".  I would have to say NO, never have and never will.  Just the way life is.

A man will be with a woman for twelve years, be married and everything and when he breaks up with her, he breaks up with his children--by choice.  Men are to be held just as responsible as women in everything they do when involved.  Babies too.  If a woman gets pregnant and a man says have an abortion and she doesn\'t, well then he\'s just gone be a daddy.  If he doesn\'t take care of it, then he\'s not going to take care of any children that he has.  Men sometimes pick and choose the kids they will help with.  If a man really doesn\'t want any children then he can take his butt and get sterilized or become celibate.  Sorry, but men are running out of excuses for being irresponsible and carefree.

\"S\"  there is a lot to cover in your post.....you\'ve shared a lot.   But judging by your response.....I\'m not sure you got the gist of where I\'m coming from.   Anyway......I\'ll address the following :You said :  There are men out here with seven and eight kids a piece by different women. Your argument seems to support them. ( support them how??? ) I wonder if he told each one of these women, \"Uh, I\'m not ready to be a father.\"Mr Sincere :   I dont know if he did or didnt. But,  I wonder if that same male with several kids by different women informed each woman of his father status before he had sex with them?   I doubt it very much.   So these women are in the same boat as any man who is deceived by a woman.    In fact your example is something we can address.   How do you think each woman would feel , who finds out that her man was cheating on her with several women and has children with each of them,  or he failed to report how many children he had ,  would they brush this off as something they should just accept and they should stop complaining like you mentioned men would be doing?   No,  I dont think so.....because I can imagine the reaction the average woman would have being deceived by some man who had several children by different women and now she has one by him too.    Wouldnt that woman be more concerned for how he is going to relate to her and their child?   How would you feel if you were trapped in that kind of scenario?   Would you now suggest that women use time wisely instead of spending it worrying and harping on how selfish her baby\'s pappa was and how he so-called tricked her by being dishonest about how many children he had?    I think women would love to know that information ahead of time.....I guess since they didnt find out, until it was too late ,  just like the men,  they should just make the best of it, huh?I dont know you,   but I\'m willing to bet you would be highly pissed at any man deceiving you.     My point is......\"where you stand on the issue depends on where you sit\"   If your coming from a female perspective or male perspective ,  deception is not something we just shrug our shoulders to and say \"oh well,  I\'ll just accept it.....\"

\"S\"   Here\'s another example......suppose you found out you were having sex with a man who has aids?   He knew he had aids but never told you voluntarily and when you asked him if he had aids ,  he lies and tells you he got checked out recently and he is negative......how would you feel?Would your first reaction be.....oh well,  I\'m not going to harp on the negative,   but I\'ll make him start wearing a condom from here on out.   No, you just might kick him to the curb for lying to you.  And putting you at risk when you didnt decide you wanted to be exposed to aids.  He made that decision for you.   Not a welcome decision,  I\'m sure.My point is.....deception destroys your trust in another person. You dont feel the same way about them.....as we can see from your example in the previous post with the father with multiple women and children.    As far as children are concerned......yes,  men should take their responsibility for providing the sperm.   I dont dispute men taking responsibility.And just like you said......women are going to have babies.....that is true.....and at the same time,  there will always be males who are going to run from their responsibility.   What I\'m addressing is an awareness which is how we can possibly reduce that reality by seeing the detriment that deception does to destroy relationships and hurts the children in the long run. There is no reason for anybody to be stubborn or defensive about this.  We should be open to understanding the nature and root to why may males shirk their responsibilities when children are conceived, especially through deception and ignorance.    Ignorance from both parties.

MS-the only thing I disagree with you on what you said is this, this does not relate to men only. Men are just as tricky as women and have been the first to rave about wanting children with that woman and then walk out once the child he wanted so badly has been conceived.Simply, everyone must watch out for their own good,  male or female. I don\'t necessarily believe trust is the issue more so responsibility. Meaning, the only person that is responsible for your well being is you, to put that in the hands of someone else is to give them control. And we all know we can\'t control the action of other people.But for the most part, we are saying the same thing.

Don\'t want AIDS, don\'t have sex. Want to have sex, ask your partner to get tested, and find out the last time they were tested before that.See, simple. Some things you can prevent. But if this were a husband and wife situation, the previously mentioned scenario would be right on the money.

Pooh,  It did get the gist of what I was conveying.   And what we need to learn from that is how we can reduce the reality of children not having both parents in their lives.  What I\'m addressing is something from a male perspective which gives some insight to why some males behave the way they do,  when they are deceived.   I\'m also addressing something women have some power to control if they want to avoid the impact that affects the man and then the child.    It seems  some people dont really understand deeply how some males react to their feelings of being deceived and how that reaction can have a negative impact on a relationship and a childs welfare all at the same time.  I do know this....that if we were talking about issues concerning females reacting in a dysfunctional manner because they were deceived....all of the compassion, understanding and support would not be spared for those women. My point is..( not to you Pooh ,  because were on a similar page )...men have feelings and want and need understanding and compassion too.   If a man is deceived....he might manifest his hurt or pain in a manner that is not productive.  Not productive to the relationship or the childs welfare.   And thats a reality we can alter by understanding the role each of us plays in our ignorance.    A man can and should do his part,  but she has to see what her role is when she deceives.

\"MS-the only thing I disagree with you on what you said is this, this does not relate to men only.\"Simon I dont know why you disagree with me?......I never said or implied this issue relates to men only.   Are you reading into my posts again?    If not,  please tell me where did you pick that up?What I do know is my post was about Choosey Mothers VS Choiceless Fathers.....and thats the main focus I was addressing in my post.      If someone decides to offer input to show another focus,   they have that right and i will respond accordingly.   My focus doesnt mean I dont see that females can be deceived as well.   Thats just not the focus for my topic.
