Only some, the truly vile, really understand their project and their purpose. I think the vast majority of the "movement" (and by that term, I mean nothing more organized than the set of all people who take "men's rights" seriously) are simply ignorant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620757577974844563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940841.post-1142312780150461172006-03-14T00:06:00.000-05:002006-03-14T00:06:00.000-05:00I suspect it's not that they haven't thought about...I suspect it's not that they haven't thought about the effects of their actions on others so much as they don't care.Noumenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02442204504120141558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940841.post-1142260565260742642006-03-13T09:36:00.000-05:002006-03-13T09:36:00.000-05:00I don't think these men think about who this would...I don't think these men think about who this would effect. They are angry at the woman who is making them pay and they do it to punish her and in their anger they are forgetting that the baby who they would want to grow up to be a productive member of society in any other case is the one that is being punished. These are the same people that don't want there taxes going to welfare because someone else isn't paying there child support. It is a vicious circle and if these men don't want to have children then they need to do something about it themselves.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612049887288120563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6940841.post-1142259320868117592006-03-13T09:15:00.000-05:002006-03-13T09:15:00.000-05:00I was in a raging argument about this last week on...I was in a raging argument about this last week on my Doctor Who forum. It reminds me so much of the abortion debate. Pro-lifers will rant and rave about the rights of the fetus, but you can never pin them down on what they think we should do about it. Sure, overturn Roe, but then what? We've got this South Dakota abortion ban that many pro-lifers will get behind, but that makes abortion a Class Five Felony, which is nowhere near the same ballpark as killing an actual, post-birth human being. Mention that and they clam up right quick.<BR/><BR/>It's even worse on this issue. The "men's rights" idiots rant and rave about how unfair it is that the mean women get to make all the decisions, but as soon as you point out that the only possible remedies are 1) to allow men to make abortion decisions for women, or b) to deny child support to an innocent child, they just splutter. <BR/><BR/>And yes, "half-baked" is the perfect way to describe this lawsuit. It's total crap.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02620757577974844563noreply@blogger.com
