conservative-humanist: theresagooseinthemainframe: wtffeminists: And then feminists say they have less rights than men. “Stealing” implies the child belongs to the father. It doesn’t. It’s not an object, no one owns their child.

The mother is well within her legal rights to let a couple adopt her baby. She carried it, nourished it, and gave birth to it. She risked her life for her child’s.



Note that this gives no indication that the father is even fit to care for a child. It fails to give the reason why the mother wanted her baby adopted, as there’s obviously a reason. But here she’s painted as an arbitrarily mean spirited person, and the poor father an innocent victim, and this is used to support the claim that women have more rights than men? Fuck this media bias. Unless the father had had his parental rights revoked by a court of law after being deemed unfit to raise this child, then he should have a say in whether or not a child gets adopted. You seem to have missed the point. The point is that a woman doesn’t NEED a reason to give up her child for adoption. And she certainly doesn’t have to give a reason to withhold that information from the father. If this woman had a good ass reason to keep this man out of the decision making process, then she should damn well prove it. Gosh because she’s certainly obligated to answer to you, old boy! Ho Ho! She chose not to involve him in the decision and that’s that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ she’s allowed to do that.

I know y'all can’t stand the thought of a man not being in total control of a situation and having omnipotent power and the final say etc etc but like, cry me a river? Once again all I’m hearing is what she *should* be doing/have done, despite the fact that she does not actually have to do any of those things lmao No, a woman doesn’t *need* a reason to legally let her child be adopted, technically. But there will literally always be a reason. Like?? realistically, it’s not gonna be something she does for funzies because it’s a Saturday afternoon. So whether or not she publicly gives a reason is irrelevant really, because she invariably, obviously, has one. Your approval or permission is not needed, sorry bro. The boyfriend is the one who threw a public tantrum because he can’t believe a woman was allowed to act of her own volition, gasp! Sure, maybe he feels it’s unfair, but unfortunately that doesn’t make it a crime, nor does it give him grounds to accuse the mother of “stealing” the child, thereby implying that it is entirely his child and not at all hers, since you cannot steal something from yourself.

First off, you seem to be under the impression that I’m a man. You are mistaken. I’m a woman.

Secondly, she shouldn’t be allowed to do that. That’s the point. It is wrong that she can shut out the father entirely without any proof that he is an unfit parent. She is taking a child that is as much his as as it is hers.

No one said he had to have complete control. No one thinks he should have complete control. But he should have some legal authority in the decision on whether his child is given to others and his parental rights terminated.

If the mother wants to give away the child, but the father wants to keep it and there is nothing to suggest that he is an unfit parent, then he should be granted custody of the child.

You are right on one part, though. You did hear correctly when I said what should have been done and what should be the procedure because the current system is wrong. It give women more authority than they should have. Men should have an equal say. Not more.

It doesn’t make it right because she was “acting of her own volition” she did something wrong. Legality does not equate right and that’s what upsets us.

But you’re too wedged in your own foolishness to see anything but “people I perceive to be men are upset about a thing a woman did because pafriarchy” when that couldn’t be further from the case.

Women in regards to child custody have too much power and are given too much consideration. Men are screwed in numerous ways by the system and it needs to change.
