Why are men forced to pay child support?

Question

What about their right to have a financial abortion? If women have rights to decide whether or not give birth, atleast men should have financial abortion rights. Why make a man pay for something he doesn't like.

For women who doesn't understand this, how would you feel if women were forced to gestate and birth something they don't want. Don't bring up what happened in past. Women of today can terminate/abort as per their wish. But a man can't even have a financial abortion. This is unfair

Answer 1

Well, let me tell you why.

1. Men are stupid and they give in to a lot of b.s. in order to get laid.

2. Men have not stood up for themselves and demanded an end to a lot of the double standard hypocrisy that women have been allowed to get by with. You can get men to fill a stadium to watch a game that will not impact their life one way or another no matter who wins but you cannot get them to take a stand for fairness and their own well being.

3. Men allow themselves to be suckered. They give into all the man shaming and allow themselves to give into women instead of realizing that they are only encouraging more poor and irresponsible behavior on the part of women.

4. Men have not been wise enough to always demand a DNA test right after birth and if necessary to seek a court order to see that the test is performed. A lot of men are paying for kids that are not theirs.

5. Men fail to realize that they are actually more valuable than are women. Look at the accomplishments of men vs. women. Those bridges and buildings, the computers, most of the advancements and technology were all invented by men, not females. Men fail to realize that their body is every bit as valuable as is a females. I would argue they are more so than is hers based on what men have and do accomplish.

6. Just look at the answers so many of the men gave to this question. So many of them are falling all over themselves to take the females side. I guess a lot of them think it will help them get laid to be pansy men.



Look at all the women and men who are saying that if an man wants to have sex, it is just one of the risks he runs. They never seem to make the connection that the same is true of women. How come I am the only guy who asks that if women are supposedly equal and all that but cannot actually support a child on your own then is it not reasonable that she should not have sex? Oh, thats right. The same standards are never suppose to apply to women now are they? Plus these people never offer any legitimate reason as to why a man has no say in a woman aborting or keeping a child but he also has no say in if he pays or not. Like I said, funny how those double standards work is it not? But most of this is because men are dumb enough to work against their own best interests. And women count on this being the case.



The good news is that a lot of men are starting to awaken to the hypocrisy and garbage and are saying no way, they are not going to play the game or be used.

Answer 3

Population control. Chyeah. Seriously. I hear ya though. Why does the man always have to pay when the women probably make more than the men anyway? Funny how the recent statistics show men are more likely to be unemployed yet woman are crying and screaming there's a pay gap and they don't get paid as much as men. I'm not convinced. Women get paid just as much if not more than men.

Answer 4

Child Support is supposed to be a failsafe against divorce. Because most men would want to avoid such a thing. It might be possible that to avoid such a scenario and they will try to fix things. Marriage is a lifetime commitment and should not be destroyed. A woman who bore a child loses her chances of pursuing a career since it is her sole responsibility to provide the immediate needs of the child through the father's bread winning. There's no unfair to that set up IMO. :) Please dont hate.

Answer 5

Men are forced because of their refusal to take responsibility. Be grown ups and offer to pay child support of those children you sired. Skipping out and running away is not adult behavior.

Answer 6

I agree with several posters here. I agree with BBRF in that if you don't want kids, use contraception or get sterilized. Also, more and more women are being ordered to pay child support. They are out there. If you feel the child support you pay is being misused then document it and find out what your options are in your state.

Answer 7

Men are not forced to pay child support.



The way it works is that non-custodial parent pays child support to the custodial parent. Regardless of whether that's the mother or the father.



But realizing that child support is gender neutral wouldn't fit in with your "oh woe to me, men are so suppressed" agenda, would it.

Answer 8

Child support is about a child, not the mother. If a man is in better financial condition and support is needed, that is why it is ordered. If the woman is in better condition and support is needed (when custody is awarded to the man), then she has to pay support. There is nothing unreasonable or unfair about this.

Answer 9

I agree, men should have a choice, but lately there has been a lot of fuss about women getting abortions. Many people are attempting to take away a women's right to abortion. Which I think if women's right of abortion is taken away, men should be required to stay as well. She didn't conceive the child alone!

Answer 10

Before humans came on the planet males supported children, especially with birds. Chimp and human childhood is very long and demanding. In those societies where males are regarded not as the fathers but as the uncles, all children belong to the mother and her family. But that's not the way it is with us. If you claim fatherhood, you assume responsibility, and that's that. Any male who tries to escape this is a child and not a man.

Answer 11

When men get pregnant and have children,women will then be made to do the same,and be obligated to pay child support.

Answer 12

In Tn if you marry a baby momma with 10 baby daddies and divorce guess what your paying child support for 10 non blood babies then if your unemployed you rot in jail? How's that for gender hate.

Answer 13

It's simply not the same because that child actually exists and the parents need to provide the best care possible for the child that wasn't asked to be born. Why should it live awfully just because two mature idiots didn't care enough to protect themselves? It's your own irresponsibility and no one cares that you don't like it, you have to pay and provide for that kid. It makes me angry that someone would just go around having unprotected sex and then when you actually have a child from being a jerk you want to just leave it and say that it's the same as abortion? What the actual fu*k? It is not a toy or a thing to return when you don't like it, it is a human being.

Answer 14

Countries where there is no forced child support they have stronger marriages stronger families. In the land of the "free" evrrything is forced if the government can make a buck off it.

Answer 15

IMHO, as a staunch feminist, there are only two groups of men who should not be forced to pay child support:



1) fathers who have never been involved in the child's life since its birth and decides to give up all parental rights, should not be forced to pay child support.



2) men, who want to be, or are active fathers in their child's life, but who are poor themselves should not be forced to pay child support.



Both of these groups of men shouldn't be forced to pay child support. But by allowing this we create further issues that would need to be addressed. Like what happens if men from group 1 change their mind later on in life and want to be involved in their child's life. I can imagine a lot of messiness coming from that conflict; would they be required to pay back child support if they were given their parental rights back. And for men in group 2 what constitutes as poor? And what happens if the later on in life acquire higher income, should they be forced to pay back the money that was supposed to be used to pay child support?



That aside those two group of men def. shouldn't be forced to pay child support. Men deserve the same rights that women have; they deserve the right to "opt out of parenthood".



As to your actual question "WHY ARE MEN FORCED TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT?" Well b/c of institutionalized sexism that was in practice for many years and now difficult to change. For a very long time women we essentially not allowed to work and expected to stay at home to care for the child. So what happened when the father left (for w/e reason)? The mother who was jobless and essentially skill less was left to somehow raise a child on her own. So gov. created child support to help those mothers out. Things have changed dramatically so we really should not be applying the same standard but I just wanted to answer your question.

Answer 16

Not ALWAYS just men; My ex-wife paid child support for many years, as I finished raising our teen-aged daughter !

Answer 17

because they helped bring the child to the world, they can damn well help pay for that child.

it takes two to tango. if they don't want a child, don't have sex or get a versectomy. simple.

Answer 18

So, get sterilized, oh, and go to the follow-up appointment to make sure the operation was successful.



No fertility = no child support payments.

Answer 19

They should make love contracts for men who don't want kids.... the woman would sign the contract fully understanding that if she gets pregnant it's her responsibility to terminate or take care of i.....

Answer 20

because you are the Father and it is Important for men to take responsibility after Dipping their wick

Answer 21

Because it's their job to pay for the kid as well

Answer 22

because men are the disposable sex. they teach us that as soon as we're born - we're so dirty we need surgical correction, and so worthless that we don't even get anesthesia while they do it. courtesy terrorist-feminism.

Answer 23

all I know is I pay more them most make in a month.

Answer 24

It is unfair. I would go even further than financial abortion. Consent to sex is not consent to make a human together.

Answer 25

Because they marry women that only want children and no husband.

Answer 26

It was your choice to have sex, and you know what the result of this is? Babies. You shouldn't be having sex if you don't know the consequences.

Answer 27

Why doesn't the man abstain from having sex if he doesn't want children?

Answer 28

You donated the sperm that made that child now you need to support it.(SUPPRISE)

Answer 29

Yah, the right to choose . freedom of choice should include men

Answer 30
