What about my "birth as a mutual decision" idea? You wont touch it either? Seems extremely reasonable to me. More reasonable than "he had unprotected sex...so he should live 25 years in financial and emotional stress with a child" reply. You dont want to extend your unprotected sex argument because I will crush the suggestion that birth was the only or best option. Or you wont be able to reasonably attack the fact that males should not be punished for unprotected sex that leads to pregnancy when there are solutions available. Regardless...falling for temptation should not lead to 25 years of heartache when you have no say so in the outcome. Can you reasonably defend that stance?
Anyone....ANYONE?
Bueller....
Can anyone reasonably tear down my "Birth should be a mutual decision" stance?
Anyone?
The problem is that you're touching on
banned subjects on this forum ...
that's why nobody will discuss it with you. It's not because they don't have a counterargument. Its simple not important enough for me to argue with you about that because I don't want to get benched because you obviously have a personal stake in this and constantly try to switch the narrative of the discussion.
No, it's perfectly reasonable to argue that he was free to take such action, but he also must face the consequences of his actions. For more reasonable than "he has urges so shouldn't be held accountable."
However, and AGAIN FOR THE LAST TIME: My biggest issue is that Alex should be allowed to do what she's trying to do. She is entitled to no compensation but should be allowed to know who her father is for sure and able to claim it.
You seem to take issue with that and I think it's funny that you assume so many things about why I choose my stance. Nothing will change my opinion about Jerry. You can argue until you're blue in the face. He's wrong. What he did was wrong. I will never accept "men have urges" as a valid excuse. Men have urges and they have the right to take actions, but that doesn't excuse them from having to face consequences. I think we've exhausted the limits of our conversation since you keep trying to change what I am arguing....which is about Alex's rights.
