Abolishing child support (the only other way here) cause much, much more damage.

You're thinking in binaries. Abolishing child support isn't the only way. Making it a bit more fair (as in, considering the everyday expenses of the parents) would go a long way to prove that child support is truly for the child's best interests, and not reallocating society's resources from hardworking men to women.

As for the other mess you're saying, never said life wasn't fair for women, etc. I was only addressing this myth you kept pushing that child support "ain't no thang" and that it's hard to get. That's incorrect. You're misleading people when you say that and I wanted to make sure that some clueless dude doesn't stroll into this thread and believe that nonsense, only to get blindsided when the court railroads his @$$ because a woman held him down and stole his seed -- which you clearly approve of.

Take note, gents. Believe this guy at your own peril.

Well, of course I would support making it fairer. It's common sense, I thought you want to take it much further. Just consider that the view taken typically is that the child deserves the same standard of living as his or her parents. That's why the more you earn the more gets taken from you. Whether that makes sense of not is another matter for each to decide.

I did not say it ain't nothing. I merely said in most circumstances that happen it is really down to the interest of the child. The system as it is right now is failing both genders in different ways. I was talking about Sarge describing the situation and disses on the very idea of child support and I explained how the sequence of events he described almost never happens all at once.

A large number of the time when the question of child support come up, look, there is a case to pay it. Not Sarge's, of course. And I barely see child support being paid in real life except when the woman really tries to screw over the father.
