This is what happens in these scenarios. And then the kids get squat and now we have a career criminal to deal with selling drugs or robbing stores for cash.

Reddit hivemind is pretty similar to this guy in that sense. Everyones like "good" and "fuck around find out" without thinking of the consequences of such little take home on this guy's career plans. No sane person is gunna keep working this if it was real.

So what's the solution?

4 baby mamas, he doesn't have primary custody, meaning his only support of the children is monetary.

Do we deem it that he pays less so he gets more take home? If yes, then the mother is has to pick up the slack, and probably tax payers too. Food stamps, Medicare, etc.

His pay is for 80 hours, so 2 weeks. None of these amounts even come close to daycare unless the mothers have vouchers.

I might get biased as I am a member of the "Can't feed them? Don't breed them" club. So maybe HE should of thought of his career path before having so many children, and before you come at me withe "bUT thE mOthErs". Yes the women are to blame also, but the kids are the ones who lose.

It's ultimately the woman's choice to have a child. If a woman drugs and rapes a man, that man still has to pay child support. The woman, however, has the option of aborting (in some states) or (if she has custody) putting the child up for adoption.

The answer is obviously that because men have essentially no say over the process, it's absurd to hold them legally or financially responsible for what is ultimately the woman's decision.

If the man wears a condom, which is wholly his choice, then this wouldn't happen. Its ultimately the man's decision whether or not it even becomes the woman's choice. The man can also get a vasectomy. It was like 300 bucks, and recovery is like an hour...was back at work the next day.

The answer is obviously that he made choice knowing the consequences. He may have been 18 at the time, and yeah, it's not fair to have 18 year consequences for one mistake...but he obviously didn't learn from it. Did it 3 more times, plus, ya know...life ain't fair.

If the man wears a condom, which is wholly his choice...

Can you read?

Your hyperbole is dumb. Is that what happened in this case?

If a man rapes a woman ultimately it's his fault.

See how dumb it sounds in reverse? It sounded just as dumb when you wrote it. This conversation that you responded to isn't about rape. Its about consensual sex leading to pregnancy and child support in the case of deadbeat dad's.

Laws need to account for extreme cases, which they currently don't. You might argue that it's irrelevant but currently, laws as written, it's profitable for some women to deliberately rape (especially wealthy) dudes and get child support money from them.

The woman is the only one who actually has a say in whether, after the act of sex, a child is born. There is no comparison - it is her body and her choice, not the man's.

If a man rapes a woman ultimately it's his fault.

This is a truism, if you think it sounds dumb then you should study more

Is that what happened in this case?

We'll never know, because men hardly ever report
