Well yes

November 10, 2013 by Andrea Mrozek 1 Comment

When we look at the extraordinarily high rates of single motherhood in some places, we can see that fathers are indeed “opting out.” This has been happening for a long time.

So when I saw this article in the weekend National Post I was actually somewhat pleased to see feminists catching up with the logic of it all.

I remember once doing a radio debate with some pro-choice feminists and I raised the point that if women have the choice to abort, then men have the choice to walk away. And I was surprised that they didn’t buy it. They wanted it both ways, ie. we choose to abort, c’est la vie, and we choose to keep the baby and the man does what we want. That just doesn’t make any sense to me.

    “In consenting to sex,” [Prof Schrage] writes, “Neither a man nor a woman gives consent to become a parent.”

    In other words: today’s typical man or woman who engages in sexual activity has no intention of accepting the natural and predictable consequences of said activity. How irresponsible and selfish is that?

    I do feel for guys who have to pay through the nose for some 20+ years for one night of indiscretion. I do. But children follow intercourse as predictably as snow comes in the winter in New York. And what would we be saying as a society if we were to allow parents to opt out of their responsibilities toward their children?
