Forcing Men to be Fathers.  (Has the law gone berzerk?)?

Unfortunately, some states have mandated that if a child is born within a marriage then the husband is the father regardless of who the biological father is. Good men end up paying for kids that belong to some other deadbeat.

Morally, if we were to universally follow The Law given to Man by his Maker, then it is a resounding "YES!"\n\nHowever, our man-made laws have yet to acquiesce to being held accountable and liable to such a MORALITY clause...

It's one of many "double standards" our culture still allows to exist.  For far too long, men dominated our world, making all the decisions and shaping our beliefs.  This is a perfect example of men wanting to behave the way they want, while prohibiting women from doing the same.  Unfortunately, women bought into the belief too.  The only thing positive is that today men are not looked on nearly as favorably for that behavior.  In time, tramps may just be tramps.

cause men think they are still 2 years old and let their wives take the place of their mommies. if just men ruled this world, it would have ended along time ago!

That is not so anymore. There are alot of women who pay alimony and child support.  I was one of those women.  I had a terrible pregnacy and my other children stayed with my mom for a while and the courts ordered me to pay child support and when I got behind because of just having a baby they threatned to lock me up.  I know several other women who have had to pay too....so only men paying is a thing of the past!!!

anyone can biologically produce/father a child, that is, provide the sperm to create life. but not everyone can take on the parental responsibility to love, nurture, teach, and care for their child. it takes much more of a man to be a dad to his children, than simply procreate.

I think it all goes back to our primitive instincts. Women were installed with motherhood...therefore our duties made us more sentimental. We had to be nurturing...and comforting. Men, on the other hand, were the providers. They had to build the huts, kill the pig and bring home the bacon. For a man, that was how he said his feelings, and sort of how he still does. A man may not come right out and say it, but he shows it in ways women don't understand, or don't look for. My husband isn't real big on feelings, but I know he still loves me. A couple of weeks ago, he said he was getting a raise. He was smiling, proof that it made him proud. He told me that now I could go shopping more or save it to buy furnature for our house when we move in. (He's in the Navy, and left a few days ago for a cruise). Just don't look at men on the surface...you'll be disappointed. Check out the other bottom layers, and you'll see their feelings. Best of luck to you!

Wow, I had one of these guys too...there are so many around it is unfortunate.  In my humble opinion, real people with issues get screwed because of dead beat dad and lying mothers.  There are so many guys that ditch a girl when she gets pregnant that when the court sees a guy who wants to be involved, they don't really care why. It's financial too..they figure if the guys is sending money, the state won't have to.  And so many women lie to get back at the guy, that we have lost our credibility in the courtroom.  I really feel for your situation.  Here is what I did..I spent years and thousands upon thousands of dollars trying to do the right thing through the court, and constantly getting told that I was wrong, etc...it made me crazy.  So, I just threw the door open to the guy..said lets stop fighting, this is ridiculous, neither of us can afford this, etc.  Said, visit whenever you want...and guess what?  Since the ball was in his court, he barely comes around anymore.  I don't know if you wish your children to have a relationship with their father or not...not that I think you wish them to not have a father, but if he is abusive, etc...I don't know what your situation is there, but this worked for me.  Best of luck to you, and hang in there.

I concur it makes us woman <ahhh I don't know the word...It's not militant but... Unrespectful of males!>...it's been around since the Hippies let all that bad stuff outta 'Pandora's Box' <free sex, drugs, avoiding responsibilites, and womanizing>.  It's too late ... asking to take it away would be like taking away all magazines similar to "Playboy"... we can wish, but it's not going to happen.

a true gentleman will still be a true gentleman then. \n\nJust single moms who work the same job and do as well or better then men want the same pay, that is all!!! It is the single moms that are raising most of the kids. If the men are true gentlemen they would do what is right. I do realize some do, but many do not!!!\n\nMen have the upper hand some now. I see that changing soon.

Women (and men and children) should not be billbboards and wallpaper. But should we pass laws? Well, there used to be laws of decency... but hey, it was God who endowed 'free-will'.. I think this world and time is all a lesson, and an example of what can be done wrong and how it ultimately ends up..

I like the  take charge kind of guys. Trouble is that we have turned men into wimps. Guys will pretty much do anything we say to stay knee deep in pussy.

Only a male can be father.

The world we live in today is so different then the one we had years ago that many men feel the need to reassert their masculinity. To prove that they can still provide for their family's if they had to. We survived as a race by killing animals to eat. I don't think its the killing so much. I think its just knowing they are still men who can be in charge without a boss or a wife telling them what to do. It also give them a time to be with other men and tell dirty jokes,pass wind and just have a good old time.
