If Mom wants to carry the baby to term and then give it up for adoption, the state does indeed look for Dad in order to give him the option to _take the child himself_. However, Dad _cannot_ simply refuse his consent to adoption and insist that _Mom_ keep the child. Dad has two choices: (1) take the baby, or (2) agree to adoption. In practical terms, when Dad takes the baby, there is rarely, rarely, rarely a CS order granted against Mom. However, if Mom wants to carry the baby to term and does NOT want to give it up for adoption, Dad has no choice and will likely be subject to a CS order. Do you see the inequity here?

I'll SAY IT AGAIN;
FEMINISM IS THE RADICAL NOTION THAT WOMEN ARE HUMAN BEINGS.
If you are all so threatened by intelligent, strong women, perhaps you should start your own 'man-cave' nation.
It's NOT like it hasn't happened before.
Just ONE example is 'The Church'.

actually, you might do better to think of this as a rich/poor rather than female/male....
poorer women always worked and earned money for the household.....it was only the more well to do women that were able to stay home and concentrate on taking care of home and hearth.
and well, it's those more well do do people who get to be in public office and make the decisions that make the society's policies. and well, they always seem to thnk that what is working for them, should be working for everyone.....
thus, it's been portrayed that men went to work everyday, and the women stayed home and took care of kids, did the housework, and had dinner on the table as the man walked through the door....
it was only like that for those families where dad could make enough money to pay the bills and still buy the food to be put on that table!!!
as far as the rest of your rant...
hey, got news for ya, I don't even know who is leading the feminist movement at the time, nor do I care.
I am not militant in the least. I just reject the push to get back into a role that I know for a fact has not worked for me, for my parents, for my grandparents, nor for my great-grandparents....all of whom had the mother figure working to bring cash into the home, because of proverty, or early death of a spouse, or divorce!!!
for those of you who can actually afford to have mom at home...lucky you!!!
just don't expect the rest of us starve to death because you think we all should live the same way you do!!!
and if we are working, we do deserve the same pay as those males who are doing the same exact job!
which, contrary to what you seem to think, I also know for a fact doesn't happen!

whatever........
ya, the work was harder back then....I agree, and the risk was greater, which...
BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WERE MORE LIKELY TO DIE IN WORK RELATED ACCIDENTS,,,and many died...both men and women!!!
and...um.....
I don't need the feminist movement, research results or anything else to tell me that there is still a wage disadvantage to women in the work force!!
Experience tells me this!
but, back to my post......
women have routinely been portrayed in the past as the stay at home type, so much so, that well, if you read these polls you get the idea that many here believe that yesterday was the golden age where mom was always home, with the kids, taking care of home and hearth....
I am only saying....
it was the more wealthy that had the advantage of having mom staying at home. many, many women worked, at first within their homes, making candles, or sewing quilts or whatever, which they sold.....but then as manufacturing took off, well, they were forced to move into the factories. where they still made their candles, sewed quilts, wove taxtiles, ect....
and....I can point you to some pretty good accidents where many women died....

From what I have read in regards to your posts, you have serious issues with the female gender (claiming that they "Know nothing" or something of that sort, and that they "lie, cheat, play games"
among other things) as a whole. You have also implied that women are intellectually inferior to men (as evidenced by your "You know nothing" comment to a female poster) as well as inferior in basically every other area of life. I hope you don't become president of the United States, let alone run, because you would more than likely make a law that had the following effects on women:
* It would be illegal for a woman aged 18 - 25 to be single (in essence, she would be required by law to marry, rich or poor).
* Women would not be allowed to vote.
* Women would be, by law, absolutely forbidden from having any job outside the home, nor would they be allowed to leave the house at all unless their husband was following them around.
* Domestic abuse of all forms (including marital rape), when committed by the husband, would not be recognized in any way under the law, but if the wife so much as threatened to slap her husband, she would be charged with a felony, no questions asked.
* It would be against the law for a woman to not wear a skirt or dress at all times.
* When under arrest or charged with a crime, a woman would not have any of the legal protections guaranteed to her male counterparts under the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Amendments to the US Constitution except for maybe, just maybe, the right to a trial by jury. Any confession to said crime by the woman that may have been obtained by use of force or under duress would be admissible into court, and the woman would not at any point be allowed to take the stand in her own defense. After all, women are by nature incompetent according to you, right?
* While it would be an option, women would not be required to be taught how to read or write.
* It would be illegal for a girl or woman to attend any form of school, be it public, private, or Parochial. She would have to be educated at home, if the parents wanted to educate her at all.
* If she is subjected to any medical procedure against her will, a woman cannot take legal action against the hospital or physicians involved. She also would not have the right to informed consent, as she is incompetent and is considered an object rather than a person.
As was the case during the reign of Ivan the Terrible in Russia, it would not be against the law for a man to kill his wife. However, if a wife killed or maimed her husband (including for self-defense reasons), she would be given the death penalty, also no questions asked.
* It would be illegal for a woman to read, purchase, or check out books of any type.
* It would be illegal for a wife to divorce her husband, but a husband can divorce his wife for any reason.
* If a woman is raped and she is not married at the time, she is required by law to marry the man who raped her.
* A marriage would not be legally valid until the couple had at least one child.
* Abortion would be completely illegal, even to protect the life of the mother, as the mother is property and not a person.
And probably other things, but that's all I can think of now. Do you really want to live in that kind of society? I know I sure as hell don't.

Women should have their rights revoked! ever since they got them, they have done nothing but abuse power and steal from men. They can't even do the jobs they have responsibly. They are like angry, jealous children. I know that all women agree with me too. Deep down you know that men are superior to you in every way. If not for the government breast feeding you all...men would still rule and keep you socially suicidal women under full control doing what you were meant to do...serve men and making babies....that WE OWN not some court decided BS, political sham that Planned Parenthood is behind...all kids grow up in destitution because of them. Women are so stupid they can't even see this is happening. Don't say anything about my post either....you truly have not earned the right to even speak. Everything has been handed to you on a silver platter by your government at the expense of all men!
Go ahead, call me a male chauvinist pig...A "MALE" I am proud to be, a "CHAUVINIST " Definition - "a person who is aggressively and blindly patriotic, especially one devoted to military glory. or a person who believes they are superior to another".....I believe this with every fiber of my being, right to the inner core of my bone marrow.
"Pig"....pig's are delicious and are inexpensive, so they could be a solution to world hunger. Everything about being a male chauvinist pig is good...I h

I wonder, if your mother read this post, would she regret not aborting your ass when she had the chance?
