A federal appeals court has upheld the dismissal of a lawsuit nicknamed "Roe v. Wade for Men" filed by a men's rights group on behalf of a man who said he shouldn't have to pay child support for his ex-girlfriend's daughter.
A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in a decision released Tuesday, agreed with a lower court judge that Matthew Dubay's suit was frivolous.
I don't know if it's frivolous or not, however, the guy does bring up an interesting point: If a woman can choose abortion, adoption, or keeping the child, what choices does the man have?
Well guys, I hate to break it to you, but you have really no choice. If you're man enough to get down with a woman, you're man enough to support any child conceived because of that sex.
In that regard, men do get proverbially screwed, but that's the price you pay for being men.
Personally, I feel that if I'm in a relationship with a woman (even if it only lasts for a few hours) and a child is conceived because I had sex with the woman, then I'm a new dad, end of story.
It doesn't sound fair if you want to play the "equal treatment" card across the board, but we have benefits of being men, and women have benefits of being women.
As a side note, what has happened to the men of this country when this is a story on CNN?
There used to be a time when this guy would have been publicly humiliated and shunned by other men for being irresponsible and selfish.
I know my Grandfather would have probably slapped him in the back of the head and said "You gonna act like a man!". We all have become a bit too self involved, both men and women, to where it effects the lives of children.
When that happens, watch as the children grow up to have severe emotional problems.
What do you think this little girl is going to think when she finds out that her dad not only doesn't want anything to do with her, but fought a 2 year legal battle so he wouldn't have to pay child support?
It'll be emotionally devastating to her.
