coogar: yes....in almost every case.
i don't see how a woman would generally assume a guy wants her to have their baby because he wants sex. if he wants a baby, marriage would be his first step, no?

the woman may not want a baby at first too. Infact that's the default position. But then the baby went in. They are both at fault for not clearly stating their stands in the beginning. So now the baby is here what next?


he didn't just remember - read the OP's post again. he had stated "no babies" before the sex. he's not ready for a baby and the woman still presses ahead to have a child. whose fault is that?

if we follow strict logic,the guy can be excused. But I'm guessing whoever made the laws looks at the infant kids and decides that whatever the parents agreed to flies in the face of the emergency that is the delicate needy infant. If we are thinking of the kids here then it makes sense too. Even though it's unfair to the man who didn't agree to that.but it's not made to spite any of the parents just to take care of the child. But what I'll never root for is men paying for kids that are not theirs. It's very unfair



there are thousands of such cases on the internet.



so you can understand my grievances but you cannot understand pickaboo's grievance? grin grin at least, we are getting somewhere - you are admitting the system is unfair abroad but it's needed in africa. cheesy

yes close. I understand your grievance. I don't understand his. But then Not all of it is unfair abroad. There should be steps taken to ensure that the system abusers don't manipulate it out of spite. So that fairness is maintained and balanced




because they don't want to be miserable like most men abroad. if there's an outbreak of rabies abroad, would you not take preventive measures before it spreads to nigeria? google the male suicide statistics abroad & you will understand the suffering of men.

that could be a reason. But is it a case of 'instead of men to be miserable. Let women be'?
It can't be better that way. And they need not be afraid of such occurence. It's highly unlikely

Yea. It's African and it's our culture.
So even if it's not fair to women it shouldn't be protested because?

Well I know better. But like someone said. It's just a matter of time. No need to hyperventilate over issues that will reslove themselves the more people get exposed.

coogar: that is if they both agreed to have the baby from the outset. can a man apply for mortgage in his wife's name even when the wife isn't interested in it.....he still goes ahead with the application till it was approved...and then proceeded to use the court to force her to pay monthly payments?

here's why each case should be treated according to it's own merit. Did they explicitly have the 'I don't want a baby conversation' before sex? If yes,I'm on the side of the guy. But if they had sex and then dude remembers he doesn't want a child after the lady is already pregnant,then that's bullsh1t.



why can't you see the unfairness here?what about the unfairness to the child he only remembered he didn't want after it was concieved? Here no one cares for mother and father but the welfare of the child in question



that's why it's called estoppel - it cannot be fought!
there's more to this than met the eye. I'd like to know more about it. Hmm


but you can understand why men can't stand it, right? grin

I think I understand why men over there can't stand it. If it's continually used to cheat them,they are human and I understand. Maybe if I was there and think women are getting it fair already,I wouldn't be passionate about it.
But What I don't understand is why men here can't stand it. Is it the need to keep their women perpetually shackled?

I don't need schooling.


Feminism is a collection of movements and ideologies aimed at defining, establishing, and defending a state of equal political, economic, cultural, and social rights for women. This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women.



Is it a western ideology? Maybe because it was specifically given a name in the west. But world over women in developing countries have been fighting to be heard. Is that any different from the definition of feminism above? No.
So should we give our own another name because we don't want to identify with the west? Help me out with a suitable name.
Are there such gender inequalities in my society? YES!
So do I have a legitimate reason to support the cause? Of course


The things is that all these merry go round just seeks to distract from the real issues of oppressive inequality issues rampant here.

I'm sorry if men are oppressed in the west but it won't stop me from sticking to my guns about female emancipation here.

coogar: it should be scrapped!
if women know there's no money to be made from child support, they will make saner choices. of course, we are not talking about deadbeat dads who married & divorced and ran out of the marriage. we are talking about unmarried folks and in the extreme cases of paternity fraud.

no. If two people made a baby. Married or unmarried,they should bear the consequences together.they were both adults and knew what they were getting into



appeal which ruling? feminism brought equitable doctrine of estoppel into the equation. that doctrine states the court may hold that because i acted like a parent and permitted the child to rely upon me even though i'm a "stranger" to the child, i have adopted the biological or "real" parent's duty.

in other words, if i befriend a babymama and I was playing a fatherly role throughout our relationship, i could be held to keep providing child support for the child since the little boy has been made to rely on me. a very brilliant law except that it doesn't get enforced when a woman befriends a babyfather.

which is why it can be reviewed if you guys are serious about it



feminism is about equality? of course it is. grin

believe what you wish. As far as I'm concerned,it is needed here more than ever.




fight for what?
whenever men gather to hold these meetings about the sufferings they are experiencing from their partners, feminists go there and disrupt the meetings. grin

pickabeau1: Hahahaa..
nay... You are the one being indulged with your unwillingness to confront the issues and keep your head in the sand

So now u see that society should be better off and not one gender.

Humanism...
I confront issues as they affect me, that's why you see me not talk too much about the west and their gender equality laws. I can't argue with someone who lives there and experiences it first hand.

The thing is instead of complaining that one gender has a movement dedicated to it's betterment,you should be very glad that you don't need one such movement in this part of the world where men are kings and the women are struggling to breathe.
(well unless you're now living in the west where one is being made to believe that men are oppressed)
If that's case pls accept my sympathy.



Here's what I think. Women's right activists made it possible for the law to take care of kids abandoned with their mothers by their fathers.
Maybe there are loopholes in the law which allows individual judges to manipulate it at will.

What's the solution?
Instead of scrapping it and making innocent kids suffer alike,it should be reviewed and made to apply to only the men who the kids are theirs biologically.
If some of these judges are men,it begs the question why?
Is this about caring for the kids or more about the money?

That's very unfair.
If you haven't seen any feminist stand against it?
Well Now you have.

[quote author=BABE!]Ermm.. That case is just one in a thousand. So far anyone is a woman in those cases, she's the "victim", and the man is "Freddy Krueger". So many fathers paying child support for kids that aren't theirs; so far they make a substantial income, the court orders them to pay.

And I've never seen a feminist stand up against this; when the movement is about equal gender right; most of them actually love that innocent men are being leeched upon.

Same goes to rape cases too. Police don't even bother to investigate anymore. So far the women is the first to report the räpe, she's the victim. So many innocent men have gone to prison wrongly.

Coogar remember that Nigerian student's alleged räpe case?[/quote]

coogar: it's a widespread practise all over the developed nations, it's not an isolated case. hundreds of thousands of non biological fathers are paying child support for children they did not sire - why do you think we are saying the scheme should be completely scrapped?
There's some merit to this POV
But what about the demerits?

Me I believe in fairness and if the whole scheme is scrapped,some innocent kids will suffer.

I can't pretend to know the law in the west,but isn't there somewhere it states explicitly that the fathers should pay for their kids only? Or is there a big loophole that allows the judges to manipulate cases as they wish.

If that's so,my advice will be for the young men to be very careful and if possible fight that aspect of the law. Where are the legislators?
It's not only women that get to fight for their rights.

Like the case of that young man I just read now,if I was him I'll appeal that ruling.
If more young men paying for kids that aren't theirs stood up to fight it,it'll surely become unpopular and on it's way out.

Did this really Happen?

Unfair doesn't begin to describe it

So he was made to pay for his kindness. Wow.
Did he appeal the ruling?
CityNG: I was in class with someone from the state of Washington who had a real horror story.

He met a girl in a club and they hit it off. He took her out a few times and met her kids. Being a good guy he helped her set up a birthday party for one of the kids.

They broke up a few months later, mind you the guy never lived with the woman.

She sued for child support and got it because the Judge felt that he acted as a father figure for the children - from just one birthday party and a 3 month relationship.

And the US is littered with stories like this with Fathers paying child support on children which DNA has proven are not theirs but the system doesn't care, they want the federal matching grant.

I try to never judge a person until I walked in their shoes so when I advise my friends never to date a single mother there's a reason behind it. It's not the mothers themselves but the protected financial class that the government gives them.

I hardly ever assume, which is why my first post was a question for clarity....still, this doesn't negate the fact that the OP has a war she wages with all things male and African.
which makes it cool that this time around it's for the women to sit up

pickabeau1: cococandy
admit wetin.. which bias.. abi no this OP?
Instead of writing posts exhorting women to exalt their man, this poster is writing posts on how to emasculate
Note the word is even written in quotes,,, basically even bringing into disrepute and negating the feelings of the man - that he should 'suck it up' like a real man right?
Destroyers
Read up on the proverbs woman who uses her words to build up her man and home
And you dear my friend have a very weird way of comprehending people. If I read you correctly,you're saying she's giving women tips on how to actually emasculate men rather than discouraging them from it?
If that's what you mean,all I can say is 'WOW

So someone who calls guys out frequently can't one day chose to call women out? Is that an impossiblity?

If your conclusion was based on the fact that the word emasculate was in quote,then it may be a wrong conclusion.
Emasculate is not a correct english word. I don't know about the OP but anytime I'm writing I put words like that in quote because my device gives me auto-correct on them.

pickabeau1: I had to laugh at the bolded... lets not make this a pro life vs pro choice
\you dont need to explain the merits of each stance to me
If u have been following the debate, i stated it was contradictory a self professing feminist equated abortion to murder
You cant murder a lifeless being

It just re affirms what i have always said.. our web feminists dont have a clue of the ideology they profess

However I agree with u on the stigma especially in lower income areas

grin grin grin
You seem to be the one who doesn't know what you're professing.
Let's just for the sake of argument agree that feminism is all about a woman's right to abort.
In simple clear terms it means if she doesn't want the baby,she can get rid of it? Simply put.
That means she could want the baby or not.

It is about the freedom to chose. Wrong?
Hence if she wants the baby,she can't be made to lose it and vice versa.
Doesn't it then follow that there will be women feminists who support abortion and those who don't? And each saying their right to keep or abort the baby be preserved?
How is that contradictory?
All in all the right of the individual woman in question is recognized and each case treated according to it's merit.

So if one feminist thinks abortion is cool,another has to?

The underlying theme is that each woman is allowed to do what she feels is best for her in her own case and be ready to bear the consequences!!!

What about the men here in support of abortions? They are feminist too?
Confused much?
Family › Re: Should Men Be Forced To Pay For Kids They Didn't Want? by cococandy(f): 10:19pm On Jul 05, 2014
Ok let me break down my stand in simple sentences that are not confusing.

Pro choice recognizes the right for a woman to terminate a pregnancy in cases of emotional,physical or psychological health issues.

Pro life says life is life and under no circumstance should a life be terminated.
No true pro lifer will advocate abortion in a case of r@pe. But you as pro lifer will.
Isn't that 'watered down'?

I actually don't support abortion just because.

I support abortion in cases of r@pe,in.cest,health issues et all. Does it mean that the foetus is less 'human' in those cases?
Of course not. So one can't truly call themselves pro life if they can advocate abortion in such scenarios.

And I remain convinced that no matter the situation that led to it,there are sentiments and emotions involved. It can't be wished away.
pickabeau1: Sentiments

No sentiment there

Yes. Blood clots. Bunch of cells
Non viable outside the womb
Not taken the human shape or form
Not alive yet.

Is that the reason for the abortions? Hardly.

Is it possible to be attached to it? Definitely. The moment you think of it as your child it becomes one.
Even if you're pro choice,you will get attached to your foetus if you see it as your child.

That's why it's a big decision to be able to go ahead to have an abortion if it's the only solution.
I repeat it's not something to be toyed with.
