men have no right's

05.04.2002 12:25

Hi folks this is all very good ALWAYS talking about women's rights, but everyone ALWAYS forgets MEN. NEVER have i seen a web page to go on about men's reprodutive right's.

1.) men in the 'second' and 'first' world countires have absolutely no reprodutive right's. Men have to follow the choice, men can either pay for the womans chocie if he does not want the baby:

this affects his body, for he has to work for the baby for 18 years.. The feminsit's say that woman should have the choice due to that very same reason, men can not have a paper abortion, the feminist are totaly quite on men's rights when it effects men's bodies...

this effects men, in that a woman, if the man is not married to her, has no right over 'his' children, the woman can run off with his kid and he still which he still has to pay for and has no say in the up bringing of the baby or child... the feminist's are quite about this too.

this effects men in that a woman can not even bother to tell a man, and after weeks, months or even years, tell him that his child is here... She the woman, does not get done for kidnapp and he has to pay back pay...

this effects men, all the time and nothing is said in the media and the idny media or any other 'right on' websites..

A little know fact about MEN's rights is that they have NONE!!!!!!!!

If a woman gets pregnant as she say's that it's her boyfreinds (and it's not) after 15 months the baby is classes as his, even though it is not, so he still HAS to pay for a child which is not genetially his... SO IF THAT DON'T BEAT ALL!!!!.... Even if the man finds out through paternity test, this is STILL the case... In the first world they (the powers that be), are thing of making paternity test illegal...

just a couple of thoughts for you to mull over....

love FRED

I totally agree with "Fred", even when under-age or in fact ANY other situation, we offer men absolutely no rights whatsoever.

"Men don't have babies".

Alright then, so they don't have to pay for them.

"Oh but they do have responsibility for the baby!"

Yeah? WHO chose not to abort? WHO chose to go ahead and have a child without adequate facilities to cope or the support of the other parent? Giving only one parent protection and reproductive rights is not only a sexist injustice but by forcing men or the state to support women's "right to choose" means both society and the resultant children are all to often subjected to the WRONG choice.
