But I don't think being a man is about having unrealistic expectations that it should just be the way you want it. That is generally a child's view and they throw tantrums and shit. Being a man is being responsible and cleaning up your messes. Sometimes, I just see posts where the theme is "I fucked up and I don't want to deal with the consequences."
If both parties are equally responsible for contraception and an accident happens, then both parties ought to have a choice about what to do in case of pregnancy.
The woman has the choice to abort if she doesn't want to go through with it, and the man has zero say.
If the man isn't prepared to go through with it and the woman in turn refuses to abort, then the man has the right to walk away as far as I'm concerned.
It takes two to tango and if you're anything less than enthusiastic about your visit from the stork, then you need to wait to have kids.
Too many children are being raised by parents who didn't want them because the dad felt guilty for not being dutiful, responsible, a standup guy, and whatever else.
So he begrudgingly went on to "clean up his mess" and resigned himself to 20 years of slavery.
That's not doing any favors to anyone, least of all the child.
