A cool subreddit, "Change My View" about politics

[repoman]

Just found it a couple days ago. It has a lot of traffic and interesting arguments. Also one of the few places on reddit that allows more intense opinions, while still not devolving to an ugly space.

As an example, I was reading one saying that "paternity testing should be mandatory" as the view to be challenged.

I think that in this case the inherent advantage to a cheating (by far the minority) woman is that if a man asks for a test he is likely to blow up the relationship with either a faithful partner or a cheating one who still got pregnant by him. That is a pretty big deterrent to asking for a test.

Better to sneak a test and if the results are that he is not the father ask for one above board. But again, without a reason to suspect, it is likely still a poor choice.

Cheating women are actually taking advantage of the loyalty of faithful women as an insurance for making it less likely a man will ask for a test, because maybe the mother was one of the faithful women.

This is not about women, per se. This is just about the biology and logistics of paternity. Men are by no means better than women in these matters.

It is a horror film OP. You know it is going to die a painful death.

Why not laws based on the premise that some men need protection from the women they are voluntarily sleeping with?

These days I don't think any political discussion will end well unless it is heavily moderated.

Are reddit discussions heavily moderated?

Only people that can't handle true conversations are fucking pussies. Are you saying you are a fucking pussy?

Why make the parents solely and by default financially responsible for children in the first place? Why not all of society?

The parents chose to create them. Their responsibility.

Parents don't pay everything you know. Insurance, schooling, health care, a lot of society dollars getting fed into the system there.
