As such, men who want to be fathers can help with the cost of birth,
depending on what they negotiate with the women who want to be mothers.

He didn't demand that, an only an idiot would make up an argument
because she can't win the real one.

A man can certainly help with the cost of "bring children into the
world," which is more succinctly known as "birth."  He can, but you've
no right to make him, so fuck off.

Yeah right.  I'm sure the women of the United Kingdom would prefer that
the country be militarily defenseless.

Been watching the news lately?  Did you notice the women's vote in the
last US election?  It seems women aren't all that opposed to military
machines after all, as long as someone else uses them in combat.

"Society" in the antebellum South thought slavery was OK, but it
wasn't, and it still isn't, so don't force me to carry your dead preggo
ass.  IOW, fuck off.  Make your choices, and leave me out of them.

Because no stone-carved natural law orders single men to help working
women, pregnant women, lesbians, or any other women.  You've no right
to make us, so in keeping with my current theme, I'll tell you to fuck
off.

Are you an idiot who is so lacking in creativity that her epithets are
over 30 years old?  Get some new material, old timer.

There's no need to fear.  Queen Obvious is here.  All questions will
soon be answered.

How did this get narrowed to fathers?  Do only fathers pay tax?  Let me
fill you in on this.  Single men pay tax too, and few have any interest
in carrying your dead ass, so it bears repeating that you can fuck off.

I can't work on a buzz.  How about the others here?  Anyone?

They're not just getting themselves through the business day.  They're
getting themselves _and_ your dead asses through the business day,
because your courts, legislators, and police force them. (Roughly in
that order.)  Of course, you'll just tell me that we should be carrying
you, because your precious wombs are just so important, but I don't
agree, and I owe you nothing.  IOW, as always, fuck off.

Did I mention you can fuck off?
