I Love the Booj

[maenads_dance]

roseredhoofbeat brings the drama to my favorite crazy mama lj community, booju_newju (I only pick on you because I love you, ladies). Said shit-stirrer asks, Should fathers be able to terminate their parental rights (read: skive off child support), since mothers can get abortions or give the kids up for adoption?"Much wank ensues, of the boring and not-necessarily-stupid-

I bet his son's mother would kill for 15 hours to herself a week.

Doesn't the childcare fairy just show up? I mean, whenever I need an hour or two, I just rub the diaper genie and she just shows up!

I knew I should have gotten one of those!

You've just bought yourself a one-way ticket to vasectomy wank. (Wankectomy?)

No getting off this crazy train...

Weird, I didn't know tertyl was in the booj. I've heard him preach about his huge sacrifices before lol.

He's always sounded pretty whiny to me. He must really love being the victim :\

Is there ever a situation where the single dad was oopsed, or really was a good dad, or where the mom really was an asshole? Or is that just impossible?

I find it so hard to believe I have the only situation where the dad is better than the mom. (Mr. Kibbles rocks in the parenting department.)

Just in general.

[hohum]

There are plenty.

Yeah. (They probably generally don't go around trumpeting How Awesome They Are to LJ communities, though.)

Long time ago, but my grandfather got the 3 boys when my grandmother walked out on them and then fought for them in court (and won) when she decided she wanted them again.

But it does seem standards are generally lower for men.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I just read that and the lj_feminist in me laughed and laughed and laughed, because how many times have we made fun of theoretical men for saying that shit?
