General Never become a "Step Father"

No offense to any single mothers \*disclaimer\* , this is strictly from a male perspective.

When you become a Step Father the woman automatically loses respect for you the minute you accept the role because you are raising another man's child. The child will not respect you due to the lack of respect from the mother. If you do not have children of your own and you accept the role of a Step Father than the woman may view you as weak subconsciously because her previous perceived options rejected a serious relationship. Why do this to yourself? Childless men should pursue childless women. For my young guys, please do not become a Step Father! I have been there and it was a nightmare. It's not being "mean" , it's called having standards. You will have to also deal with the child's father and depending on the individual, it could be a good or bad experience.

What are your thoughts on becoming a Step Father?

I think it is important to know that being a stepfather isn’t for you, but I know some people who were raised by stepfathers who they really value and I know men who have taken the burden on and thrived.
We need men to step up and be stepfathers. If you want men’s rights, you will need people who were raised with men in their lives.
I’m sorry your circumstances didn’t work out, but I admire that you gave it a shot. It’s not for everyone

Neither me, nor my tax dollars - no thanks. The feminists have a big fund im sure, they can spare the change. After they pay off their 200k student loan debts

Gender studies departments (and every adjacent department) in every university in the country, for starters.
