If you get a girl pregnant, at a minimum, you should step up to the plate, be a man, and act like a good father. And while I would not go so far as you must marry the girl (we all make mistakes and every situation is unique and I have seen a few of these sorts of marriages go badly) you should certainly seriously consider it. But if you don’t, you still better be there for your kid, be a gentleman, and act appropriately.

And that means on all levels: emotionally, financially, time commitment, etc.

Everything I have to say on this subject has already been said by Johnny Rotten.

Avatar is not some fluke. Like Kubrick’s The Shining, Avatar is a film with deep and powerful symbolism. But merely Gaia worship it is not it.

James Cameron used to be married to Linda Hamilton. Signorey smokes in the film. Guess who else used to smoke. Coincidence? I think not.

Linda Hamilton has a career and a specific job before she worked with Jim Cameron in the Terminator.

Separated at birth? Or the love child that was never acknowledged?

Oh yes, Mr. Cameron is working through a few issues. Now that is art!

It’s got to hurt when you’re pregnant and your boyfriend breaks up with you and months later marries someone else.

Practical reason #2,281 that premarital sex is a bad idea.

Larger question in all this: where is the compassion for the children, who certainly did not ask to be conceived to parents who don’t want them? This ties into the larger issue: once you start having sex, you are dealing with the distinct possibility that you might be creating another human being and that human being is also deserving of compassion, love, a stable home, and good parents who care about him.

Just saying.

Women are more responsible for the creation of babies than men. This is true in all cases of sexual relations, marital, pre-marital, and post-marital.

This was once a commonplace in Western society. Indeed, in all societies. Only women get pregnant. Women are the gatekeepers of their own uterus. Since only women get pregnant, all societies throughout history have put a lot more emphasis on chastity in women than in men. This was perfectly sensible, and it still is. the sexual double standard is rational and sensible.

Under the law, only the pregnant woman has rights over her fetus. Rights and responsibilities must be concomitant, by a commonplace of justice. In any social matter, who lacks rights, also lacks responsibilities. Women can lie, legally, about their reproductive status to entice men into procreating a fetus inside the woman. The man still has no rights whatsoever. Under modern law, it is unjust to expect or demand that men take equal responsibility for the creation of a fetus, since men have absolutely no concomitant rights.

As a practical matter, a lack of rights will always be accompanied by evasion of responsibility. The current legal regime assigns men half responsibility and none of the rights to a fetus or even a child. A fetus and a child belong to the woman. This is true even in marriage.

All children sired in a marriage are considered to be the husband’s. Millions of men are paying child support for children that they didn’t sire. Husbands are required to pay child support for children conceived by their wives in infidelity. Only a fool would marry when the law gives women such power.

Who can be surprised that men evade responsibility? Who can be surprised that women deceive or that women have abdicated their age old responsibility for their own body?

Blaming men for the ravages of the sexual revolution is wrong. Women are the problem. Always have been.
