Child support is the legal right... of the child. Not the mother. So whether or not she wants child support or not, he may be forced to pay it. Especially if the mother receives any sort of government assistance. It really depends on the state you live in.

Why does Jez continue to insist on using words like "basket case" and "psycho"?

He wasn't just a sperm donor though. They were romantically involved before she had a kid and after, and he played a paternal role in the kid's life until she decided to dump him for good and claim that he was just a sperm donor. IMO you can't have it both ways - have the guy give you sperm, and be a partner when it…

Let the man be in his child life damn, why use a ex boyfriend as a sperm donor. Why did she let him get attach to the child if she didn't want him in the kid life in the first place.

So is this a "he said/she said" thing, or is there documented evidence?

If you donate to a sperm bank, sure.

Fucking white women.... if it was not for affirmative action your white ginger ass would never be in college.

Those statistics mean shit to me as a man who's been accused of rape. I am actually still a virgin, so it was incredibly hurtful this woman accused me of it.

I'm obviously speaking from the perspective of a clueless outsider here, so bear with me. Per Temkin's blog post, here's the accusation:

Yea but not everyone who is insufferable is automatically a rapist.

Kelly I think you did try to be very fair in your article. But I also got the feeling that you think his response is BS and that you really believe her. You cite mostly articles tearing down his response and say her tumblr post is "the whole story". It is most certainly NOT the whole story, it is just the beginning of…

Exactly, Jezebel often forgets that there are just as many crazy, horrible women out there as there are men. And I say this as a woman, before I am attacked. We have no reason to believe this girl over him, or vice versa since we know nothing about the situation and neither side has presented evidence.

Whatever happened in that freshman dorm eight years ago, these things can no longer be ignored until they go away.
