What was untrue? SPLC is a reliable, left-wing source. The data simply supports that the lion's share of homophobia experienced by members of the GLBT community belongs to gay men and transsexual women. Anecdotes of high-profile stories, some of which have been proven false (remember the Nebraska woman who claimed…

We should all have the right to choose whether or not we become parents and take on the ensuing responsibilities. That means access to abortion, but it also means not creating a dichotomy where men run the risk of taking on a near quarter-century liability versus taking a vow of celibacy.

Translation from angry lesbian feminist to English: I have no rational response so I will just insult the author :)

The Nordic countries are over-the-top nanny states. Did you hear about the motion in a city council meeting where the Left Party wanted to require men to urinate sitting down in all public washrooms? Your utopian, bastion of socialism and feminism is illusionary. They are having their own issues. In the words of…

Funny how a debate about reproductive rights and parental responsibilities has suddenly turned into some Bolshevik wet-dream which will never happen. There is a reason we have 198 sovereign states with different values. I have lived in mostly Central and South America. I even petitioned the courts for divorce in an…

I think it was a British jurist who once said that litigation is a sport of the wealthy. Precedents are set, not by legit cases of a single mother who is actually in need of reasonable support, but the "gold-digger" cases with wealthy parties who use the "best interest of the child" as subterfuge to get a financial…

There is a difference between providing basic necessities to care for a child versus the status quo, which result in fathers having to cute cheques in the thousands of dollars on a monthly basis. Also the burden should rest with the party with the "last clear choice." Even if the father bails after birth, the mother…

The reproductive rights/child rights war is rife with rote sloganism and hypocrisy on all sides. The right is adamant about the "sanctity of life" and the "best interest of a child", but they are nowhere to be found when a single mother is living in poverty and needs the basic necessities of life to care for her…

Access to abortion is not perfect, just like access to other forms of medical treatment. However, in general a woman who is intent on getting an abortion can do so. The mere fact that there are some hoops to jump through does not mean abortion is inaccessible. There are all sorts of hoops to jump through for most…

Since the father has no say on how the pregnancy is handled, both in whether to abort or whether to take reasonable steps to avoid harm to a foetus intended to be brought to term, the burden should rest on the woman since she has the unilateral choice.

This thread is becoming schizophrenic on all sides now lol ... On another thread on this story, I am arguing what you are arguing in the context of child support. You are correct to an extent, and the law in Canada does cap accommodation to the point of "undue hardship." We take into a number of factors, including the…

You made my point in the first sentence. Women's groups cry "MY BODY, MY CHOICE." Jurisprudence has consistently denied any rights to a foetus. Therefore, under good old American "individualism", the woman is free to drink, smoke and do cocaine and God knows what during her pregnancy, because it is her body and her…

There is surgery for avoiding pregnancy. Since the woman has the biological reality of carrying the child, she can get the surgery or use the pill to avoid pregnancy. It makes little sense to place the burden on the party who has no say in how the foetus is brought to term. If mommy decided to drink heavily and smoke…

Ah feminist logic (an oxymoron)... I went through my previous posts and I simply don't see anything anti-black or otherwise racists. Seems I made the opposite argument on the lion's share of close in age statutory rape sentences go to black and Latino males. That isn't racist; it is an undisputable fact. Anyone who…

What about the "GOTCH'YA" pregnancy??? Also the woman has the last clear choice, and even after birth, the mother can leave the baby at the hospital and walk away with no questions asked. That is at least the practice in all of Canada and most of Europe. Therefore, when the baby is fully out of the woman, she, but not…

The ban on such terms are entirely reasonable. Both terms are ambiguous and can detract from the purpose of the site. "Feminist" is a label which has no accepted definition and is extremely political. Both Sarah Palin and Andrea Dworkin call themselves "feminists." Likewise, the term "misogynist", while seemingly has…

I am not targeting women specifically. In an earlier post, I said all groups playing identity politics will behave the same, and women are no different. However, there have been human rights complaints filed on a class-action basis by women's groups seeking to abolish the seniority system in male-dominated fields.…

Where do you get racist from? That is a bit of a stretch. I simply responded to the thread on close in age statutory rape prosecutions and the undisputable fact that such prosecutions are mostly against minority males. There are a couple high profile lesbian cases before the courts, but they are far more rare. On the…

Well she presumably chose to have sex with him unprotected as well. She could have exercised her right to have an abortion. If she can't be forced involuntarily into parenthood, I don't see why the father can't opt out of parental responsibilities as well.

Well that is why I see identity politics as a zero-sum game. If the nurse were a white male rather than a childless career woman, I am sure a great deal of feminists would have no issue with your hypothetical, specifically that he take shitty shifts to accommodate others (women) with familial responsibilities.
