Someone who will tell the boys, "Be responsible when you stick it!" Not where, just when, meaning use a freakin' condom.
I just cannot believe we still let men get away with impregnating girls with little to no responsibility. If she gets an STD, she pays for it. If she gets pregnant, she pays for it. I don't care if you go after paternity, a 14 year old doesn't have money. And yes, 14 year olds are getting girls pregnant. The sister of a girl who works for me got pregnant at 14 by a 14 year old.
Not to mention that WE pay for it too because our taxes pay for the Medicaid, the WIC cards, etc. Most young women who get pregnant don't get married. They become a burden on the welfare system because there is no incentive to get married. I don't blame them at all, they're just taking advantage of the system. But if someone wants to limit benefits to those who are married, that is discriminatory or violates civil rights. What if the guy's a dick, they say? Dick didn't use a condom, he needs to pay up.
I guess I'm a social conservative on this, but mainly it's because men get away with so much - of course, look who runs the government.....
John Edwards is like the poster boy for this. I am surprised there's not a secret male cult set up to worship him. Oh. If we knew, it wouldn't be secret, would it?
