Not saying the man doesn't hold some responsibility, but the FINAL DECISION is the womans and hers alone. There's no debating that. And what if birth control was used and it failed? And those instances where beforehand she said she didn't want any children but after she gets pregnant changes her mind? And this song in which this thread is about is woman who CHOOSE to be a single Mom. Thats her decision 100%.
There are two final decisions. The man has options to protect his seed and if he choose to bust, he made the final decision to have the child. That was his final decision. He isn't carrying the child, so he puts himself at the mercy of someone else once he does. I don't care what he says...his actions dictated that he made the decision to have a child. A lot of men aren't responsible and put themselves at the mercy of women, then blame the woman for making her final decision when its her turn. You don't get women pregnant by accident...there's a series of irresponsible decisions you made that make you feel like it was an accident afterwards.
Once the man makes his final decision...the woman gets to make hers. Because a lot of men are irresponsible with their sexual habits, they believe the woman is choosing for the both of them. Any woman could logically ask you, "If you didn't want to be a father, why did you bust in me?" And it would be a logical question to ask every single time....especially for a group of people who swear they value logic over emotion.
If birth control is used and failed, it failed for both parties. Both sides took the risk of having a form of sex that isn't 100% guaranteed to work. If the dude busts with that knowledge, he still made his decision. Although he made what he believed was a calculated one, there were still risks involved. If there's a 5% chance I'll get hit by a truck when I go outside at this very moment, I might like those odds. But I can't complain if I get hit by a truck.
And there are plenty of instances where a guy says he'll pull out and he doesn't. There's times when a guy says he wants to get a woman pregnant then changes his mind once he's cooled down. We can point out outliers and misbehavior on both sides. Some women CHOOSE to be a single mother by forcing the father out of the picture, but there are ones who don't make that choice. The man chooses not to take up his responsibility to attend to the seed he deposited in her.
I'm not saying these women are puritans...but I am saying we're raising a weak and irresponsible crop of men if we're raising them to act and then blame women for the consequences of their actions.
