As someone who spend a lot of time and money studying linguistics, rhetoric and logic, I must inform you that you're using that term incorrectly.

My child is none of your business. The conversation at hand was corruption in the child support system and Banksy's claim that child support was "hard for mothers to get" and not a big deal. Thus, my main arguments were targeted at destroying that myth. Anything outside of that myth (including information about my child) was beyond the scope of the discussion and again, is none of your business.

This is a forum marked "Men's Journals (NSFW)." You are on a thread discussing a piece of technology, that while unisex in design, will slant the sexual marketplace in favor of men. Here, we discuss MEN'S ISSUES. We don't need to tone police ourselves to be "unbiased," which is actually code for "tailoring our thoughts, language and ideas to favor women." I'm giving people the objective facts of how child support works in many states.
I've received a number of e-mails from people here thanking me for providing this information, because they ended up looking at their own state laws and realizing that they could fall into the same trap I did.
Again, Gentlemen: Even your "fellow man" is NOT. YOUR. ALLY. Break free. Run AM6.
EDIT: And no, I disagree. If we are going to frame the existence of a child as a "disruption," I can attest that my life has been just as "disrupted" as hers is. You're operating from the mindset that by default, men care less about their children, thus, their lives aren't affected as much. Ask yourself why you believe that. Then run AM6.
