"About 4 percent of men may unknowingly be raising a child that really belongs to the mailman or some other guy, researchers speculate in a new study."
How fascinating. Look around you and see that approximately 1 in every 25 fathers aren't raising their child. Of course nobody cares about the plight of men in this situation, especially the feminized quasi-men out there who constantly and happily write biased law and willingly accept that other men get the shaft in court and in life. This is especially true in California where it doesn't matter if you're the dad or not - you're paying buddy! Watch the feminist lobby try to work AGAINST technological advances which can make parental identification easy.
What happens if you're a guy and have been DUPED and LIED TO by your wife concerning their adultery and the identity of the child's father? You're pressured by women's groups and the already mentioned pseudo-men to be a "real man" and "do what's best for the child." If you don't pay up what happens? You GO TO JAIL. I challenge ANY OF YOU to come up with a vaild reason that explains why we allow this to happen. Where's the fairness and equity in the law? How many of you guys out there know that in NYS if you get engaged and give her an engagement ring, she can just say "eh I don't like him" and call off the wedding, but legally she is ENTITLED to the ring that you probably spent thousands of dollars on? FUCK THAT!
I'm sure some of you are wondering what I would do if I found out the kid I've loved and raised was fathered by some other guy. What would YOU do, Jason? I would walk the fuck out, that's what I would do. And I wouldn't pay one single damn penny towards the child's upbringing. If I had to go to jail, then fine I would be sitting in a jail cell because I didn't pay up for a kid that wasn't mine. I would rather do that than feel the shame, humiliation and helplessness of being the guy who got fucked over in life by some cheating ass wife. Not your kid? You should be FREE from any obligation regarding the child. It's not your problem anymore, it's between the REAL father and the REAL mother. Anything else is biased, anti-male bullshit that needs to be eradicated.
Jason
I understand exactly why you would be pissed off by this, Jason. It pisses me off, too. I think that it totally sucks that a man, any man, would be forced to be responsible for a child that is not his.
I think the law was written when it was thought that women "belonged" to a man and it was thought there was no way a wife would be able to have sex with anyone besides her husband. Of course, we know that was never true, and certainly isn't today.
The thing that is so damn sad about it all is that the poor kid doesn't know any other father than the one she/he has had. It's not fair for the kid at all... even more unfair than it is for the man. It would be like his/her dad dying, but worse, a total rejection.
I know i couldn't handle it if my dad ever did that to me. Even now. He may be a jerk sometimes, but he's my dad. And then, a new dad coming in and not knowing him and him maybe not even wanting to know me... And having money be more important that me. I know i am grown, and i could understand it from a logical point of view, but emotionally, it would devestate me. I could only imagine what that would do for a young child.
I wish i had an answer. I wish women weren't stupid enough to cheat and get pregnant. It happens. It's not fair to the husband, but especially not the kid.
You make some verry good points. You shouldn't have to pay for a kid that isn't yours. The court usaly sides with the mother in custody also. I don't know there exact name and if they are still around. But there used to be a fathers rights group in Buffalo. It was on delaware near the mansion and in the buliding where allen dress shop was.
