RE: Alimony: His Wallet, No Choice
If you do not want the man to have a saying about the woman's body, then apply that same logic and do not allow the woman to have a saying in the man's wallet.
Yes, dont you realiuze the flaw in your argument here?
I believe the real flaw is that even once it has been proven that the man indeed was not the father, he is still forced to pay alimony after having been deceived.
Furthermore, turn your own argument around: what is some woman wrongly claims "oh yes, we fucked and got pregnant! And he is the father!"
In some countries it is not even legal to find out whether he is the father or not, but more to the point, he will be financially enslaved for 18 years all the same.
This you call equality?
I don't agree that it is right that a man should have to pay when he's not even the father. There's always situational circumstances. Where I live men can get paternity tested.
Governments do that to mitigate the expense on them and society, it has nothing to do with women and them having the right to choose.
I dont think human rights has to be men vs. women., when it comes down to gender issues.
"Equality" can never exist IMO. As with situations like these...women can have babies, men can't, there's never going to be an equal footing comparison. It's very complicated.
I appreciate the discussion.
