A friend asked why a man should face jail time if they refuse to pay child support while a woman gets off free.
🤔💭🤔
My first response was why is he refusing to take care of his child?
Why can't he take responsibility for his actions?
Didn't it take two people to make the child?
Didn't the woman suffer already?
Didn't she adapt, eat for two, become emotionally imbalanced for nine months?
Didn't she shit on the delivery table?
Didn't her vagina expand the width of a basketball?
Didn't she suffer the pain of an epidural for it to not work, in which, she has back issues 'till this day?
Didn't she endure X amount of time in labor and recovery?
Did she suffer from post postpartum depression?
Doesn't she have to be mother and father for the next 21 years?
Women do not get off free and clear.
Do not be assholes, people. If choosing to or accidentally entering parenthood, take care of your responsibilities.
