If this is happening to someone you care about, the expectation is that you'd try to stop it. Like someone doing this shit to my sister? Would not fly.

The miracle of life is, quite literally, stomache churching.

Yup. Well, sometimes they turn double if I lack sleep -.-

As a fellow Asian, just wanted to put in my two cents.

Ugh, I already said it was directly aimed at "a man still won't have any guarantee of parental rights".

LOL... even if you been married and get divorced, a man still won't have any guarantee of parental rights.

Decisions are pretty loaded though, culturally. A Roman Catholic woman might know exactly how BC works, but feel too guilty to use them. Another person might have them readily available but not the knowledge of where to get them or how to correctly use them. That's why sex ed and removing the cultural taboos are so…

You are.

Depends on who's the higher earner and primary caretaker.

Also, don't never bring flowers.

Untrue.

I read every single post in the thread before my initial post.
