alimony is a seperate thing

2019-01-12 22:02:05 UTC  

Well, it depends on the sort of society we're setting up here. I assume you'd prefer a more liberal or libertarian society, yes?

2019-01-12 22:02:33 UTC  

absolutely but liberalism is a broad church and im not a libertarian

2019-01-12 22:02:39 UTC  

We could always ban sex outside of marriage, and punish law breakers, but I think you'd be offended

2019-01-12 22:02:57 UTC  

i would be, plus its ineffective

2019-01-12 22:03:12 UTC  

people have sex outside of marriage whether you like it or not

2019-01-12 22:03:14 UTC  

So alternatively, we could say if a woman becomes pregnant the child is hers. She is not entitled to any money from her boyfriend.

2019-01-12 22:03:27 UTC  

If she wants his financial assistance, she should marry him

2019-01-12 22:03:57 UTC  

the problem is she might want to marry him and he does not

2019-01-12 22:04:05 UTC  

After all, if we are to act like women are adults with the same agency as men then they can refrain from sleeping around and getting pregnant before marriage.

2019-01-12 22:04:19 UTC  

Then she should have the agency to not fuck him without a condom

2019-01-12 22:04:22 UTC  

this is the original problem child support sought to solve

2019-01-12 22:04:36 UTC  

right but he also can *say* baby ill take care of you

2019-01-12 22:04:47 UTC  

Yes, people lie

2019-01-12 22:04:54 UTC  

Lying is not a crime

2019-01-12 22:05:20 UTC  

If you want financial support you ought to enter into a contract with the other person, that's what marriage used to be

2019-01-12 22:05:33 UTC  

Only now the contract offers the man no protection

2019-01-12 22:05:37 UTC  

right but the law sees that as a reasonable expectation that if they then knock the girl up then there was an offer and acceptance

2019-01-12 22:05:46 UTC  

thats a voluntary contract

2019-01-12 22:06:04 UTC  

That's unreasonable. If you want the man to provide you must give him something in return

2019-01-12 22:06:12 UTC  

also men can and do get alimony payments and child support

2019-01-12 22:06:20 UTC  

its more rare, but it occurs

2019-01-12 22:06:32 UTC  

Just like black women getting raped

2019-01-12 22:06:36 UTC  

By white men

2019-01-12 22:07:01 UTC  

Has it ever happened? Probably a few times, but it's extremely rare. It's usually black men raping white women

2019-01-12 22:07:06 UTC  

also the providing something to the man in return would presumably be the relationship / sex

2019-01-12 22:07:18 UTC  

its not extremely rare

2019-01-12 22:07:47 UTC  

In past societies the contract was that the man was the head of the household, he gained custody of their children, the wife and kids took his last name and so on

2019-01-12 22:08:07 UTC  

Who is y’all

2019-01-12 22:08:17 UTC  

For his financial service to provide for his wife and their kids, he was given authority

2019-01-12 22:08:24 UTC  

thats not strictly true snake and @Deleted User a bunch of autists

2019-01-12 22:08:30 UTC  

Now women demand free money and men get nothing

2019-01-12 22:08:54 UTC  

typically the wife was seen to have custody of the kids traditionally

2019-01-12 22:08:56 UTC  

Dang

2019-01-12 22:09:04 UTC  

Let’s go beat women then

2019-01-12 22:09:11 UTC  

?heykid

2019-01-12 22:09:14 UTC  

being against alimony is gay

2019-01-12 22:09:14 UTC  
2019-01-12 22:09:19 UTC  

*yes*

2019-01-12 22:09:30 UTC  

This FBI guy looks like such a good person.

2019-01-12 22:09:41 UTC  

I'd play baseball and drink OJ with him.
