Knocking Yourself Up

I am a choice mom. I found a very nice known donor. I don't regret it for a second. If you want advice, you can contact me at sdbeth@yahoo.com.

How sad! A child without a father is still a "bastard." I wish i could be there when the mom tells her child how he was born. "Well, mommy bought this sperm down at the store........." God help him if the other kids find out. I wonder if kids born like that have souls? Maybe men would stick around more if women didn't treat their marraiges like business relationships. Once a child is born the man moves to the back of the line, wondering if the only resaon she married him was to just have a baby and somone to support her. The world is overpopulated, why do need to produce more human beings in this cold way?
P.S. if your only accomplishment in life is reproducing, your part of the problem and not the solution!

Kudos to women for having the children they want and desire despite Evangelical mumbo jumbo. If men care so much about their involvement in family, they would have stiffer laws for dead beat Dads. I too will be having my first kid this same way.

burbank: trust me, teachers DO NOT ask about fathers anymore. too many children these days have absent fathers, fathers in jail, are being raised by stepfathers, etc. for that to be a reasonable question. these days, asking about a child's parentage in class is a reason to be disciplined.

goodgirl, please go to a gossip column or a teen forum with that.
this article doesnt surprise me. Men use every "scientific" excuse to why they cant settle down or take care of their children. There will be a lot more of this single motherhood to come.

Imagine the trauma the child will have to go through when the teacher asks him in school who your father is and he has to reply, "my daddy is a number 2".

Kudos to women for taking matters into their own hands. These intrepid women surely deserve better treatment, and, as the author suggests, greater financial support from those who are obligated.

As we all know, there are far too many deadbeat "men" who steadfastly refuse to forward wads of the products of their bodily labor to the very same women who refuse to let them raise their own kids. This is unconscionable.

These. Men. Should. Pay. Or what else are they good for?

As a consequence, I now propose a new policy. All "sperm banks" are now and henceforth to be held accountable for child support, just as if they were "real men" as they should surely aspire to be.

For what is man but a sperm bank after all? Those patriarchal inseminating corporate stooges have been exploiting the wee wittle wimmins and their rapant and irresponsible urges for reproduction for far too long. A corporate lackey who inseminates a woman for a mere pittance of a fee is surely just as exploitative as the man who dumps and runs.

Take them to the cleaners, I say. Let the women sue the bastards! Prior consent? Nonsense! A woman in heat has no capacity to forge such a valid thought... much less a child! Force the evil spermdoers to pay, pay, pay!

Don't fool yourself...you will always need men, in some capacity or another..whether they be legitimate fathers or donors, unless women figure out a way to breed asexually like bacteria, you'll always need the male aspect to conceive children....but anyway...as much as I would love to see men completely stop donating to such services just to prove that point, I realise that threat is just as empty as the common feminist threat of women no longer having sex with men (I love hearing that..it tickles me...like as a single man i'm supposed to be threatened by the 'no sex' threat. Attacking me with vagina like it's some kind of sexual kryptonite for any argument...I could not only continue to get laid, but die of old age before they figured out the logistics of getting the women in my neightborhood to stop having sex with me, much less the city, state, and country. The only people that threat even comes close to effecting are the honest, responsible married men who care about their marriage...which, ironically, is the last group they should be alienating. The best thing feminism ever did for single men was the sexual revolution. God bless the 'sexually empowered'), but to be honest...I don't care. We, as men, don't "need" women either. I can live a perfectly healty, happy , successful life without a woman. Would I like to get married? Sure, I would...but I'm not "worried" about it, as you so put it. Any woman that would buy into the crap you're selling, I don't want to marry anyway. I'm perfectly fine sport screwing until I find someone who is more in line with my values and I can respect...and if that never happens...oh well. Not my loss. So, by all means, go ahead...use the turkey baster. None of my business...don't care...at all. What I do care about is when you take YOUR problems and YOUR poor choices and blame it on me (or men in general). That's when I have a problem...I'm not gonna be your scape goat. You want to be a single mother with the syringe father...go right ahead...but it's because thats what YOU want..nothing else. It's there's a problem with men...or that there aren't any good men...that's BS. You are doing it because you are choosing to be a single mother instead of accepting a good man...not because they don't exist.

So jevans, Jesus was a bastard child and the supposed virgin Mary was wrong for having him out of wedlock, or cheating on her husband, whichever way you want to look at it-according to you. Either you're a hypocrite, or you have a bastard for a god, take your pick, they're both sins in the eyes of the Lord.

While I applaud the women who would prefer to go at it alone, it is most certainly not my choice to be a single parent. As a woman, I can not teach my son how to be a man but rather, how to treat a woman. There would always be a strength my son would lack or validation my daughter would lack without a positive male role model i.e. a father in their lives. I'll stick to the old fashioned way. Thanks though.
