Reply #380: Fair enough but I REALLY don't care about what lurkers think I THINK

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

Even as a lesbian, I get hit on by men that REFUSE to let up until I actually GET nasty with them since they are NOT going to score..being around lawyers ( a slimy lot they are) I get it FREQUENTLY...there are many gentlemen...somewhere...really...I think.

I would ALSO underscore the fact that the fundamentalists in our government make it HARDER and HARDER for women to TAKE that responsibility upon themselves by starving the educational system of practical information.

And AGAIN, in MY view, this is NOT about blame. It is about who carries the risks and responsibilities and on WHOSE side the law should THERFORE err. Even if the chances of death and health risks are low, NO MAN EVER DIED from paying child support (although I am certain someone will come up with some anecdotal bullshit story and claim they have a friend who has a friend who did)

In FACT, I think the issue STRIPPED is this. Does a woman control the course of her body and her life concerning reproductive rights...or does the state? Everything else and all this men wanting equality shit is JUST THAT...SHIT..it isn't their body.End of story.

All the crap about child support? That involves the CHILD's PERSON and the CHILD's well being..NOT THE MOTHER'S. Any deliberate commingling of the issues is just that...a deliberate commingling of the issues.

As far as what it would take to TRANSFORM this conversation ONCE we MAKE sure the LAW protects the rights of the woman and her body...I am ALL FOR IT...AFTER that.

:toast:

BTW, the same people that want to take away women's rights want to make sure I can't marry.
