Quote From: emmitsmomOkay, now let's take off the rose-colored glasses. The majority of women who get pregnant "accidentally" do so to trap the men for 1 of 2 reasons: 1) a steady income for 18 years; 2) to get the man to possibly marry her or at least be under her control for 18 years.
I have 3 boys. I tell my oldest, who is 17, to always protect himself no matter what, because women will lie and try to get pregnant to trap him and to NEVER believe a woman when she says she has taken care of the birth control or that she can't get pregnant. It's terrible that I have to teach him what liars women are, but there you go.
I agree that women trap men, which is why this subject had a major effect on my thinking about this. I am a female who has had a child. I am also a female who terminated a pregnancy VERY EARLY, because I was told it was not what my partner wanted and I was the one that got pregnant.
I fully 100% agree with the gentleman on the show. He was up front and forthright with her that he absolutely wanted no children. I feel it is the responsibility of the woman totally to make sure she is protected. She is the one that is going to get pregnant not him and she is the one given the choice of what to do with the pregnancy when she concieves, not him. So don't you think the responsibility of being protected should be on the shoulders of the female if she doesn't want to be pregnant or agree with terminating, or adoption? I do very wholeheartedly. If she doesn't make him wear a condom, which let's be realistic here guys, men will do what they can to get out of it, it's her fault not his. I know I am going to get a lot of flack about it but that is where the ultimatum comes in. Girly, if you want to have sex with this man, you better be prepared to mother a child that may or may not be wanted by your partner. Otherwise keep your pants on. I'm sorry but it's a womans choice to chose what to do when she gets pregnant, I feel the gentleman on the show has a very valid point and I don't think he should have to be responsible if he doesn't want to have anything to do with the child. If he wants to see her then that is different. I think in this country, we should give the men the right to sign over all rights. Meaning they are giving up their child to the biological mother. If his parents want to see the child, then they can pay the child support to have Grandparental rights. Maybe in this country by doing that, we would prevent unwed mothers from making choices that result in unwanted pregnancy. I think a change in the legal system about this would definately open the eyes of any woman that decides she wants to have sex with the possibility, even with full protection, of getting pregnant.
I would go on but I could write a novel about this.
