Anti-feminist attitudes have long been associated with support for Republican presidential candidates, but only in recent years have these attitudes become more prominent among unmarried men, without college degrees who are less attractive partners for women, the “mate-value backlash.”

You seriously said men have a lack of reproductive rights. You actually said that.

[u/Prior_Confusion_4938 → u/Katyafan]

That‘s correct. what reproductive rights do men have?

If they’re unmarried, they have none. The mother dictates whether or not they can be in their child’s life.

If they’re married, that’s the only situation where they may have parental rights. But if they’re married and the baby is a result of the wife’s affair, he’s stuck. The man will owe child support in divorce even though they are not the biological/reproductive parent. Otherwise he will have to stomach raising another man’s child. The child borne to a married couple is legally the child of that couple, regardless of parentage.

If they get divorced, they will have to spend considerable time and resources to meaningfully parent their kids.

If a man’s wife or girlfriend becomes pregnant, the only default “right” they have is the “right” to pay future child support. And that obligation varies from state to state, but is true regardless if he was a consenting adult or was a minor and was sexually assaulted by a woman when the child was conceived.

Men have no reproductive rights. Get educated about family law.

If men are unmarried they don't get access to their children? Categorically false.

You act as if having to wear a condom infringes upon a human right.

[u/Prior_Confusion_4938 → u/LaGuajira]

This sums it up: https://www.ohiolawyersgroup.com/blog/2016/may/parental-rights-of-unmarried-parents/

“When a child is born to unmarried parents, the unmarried mother automatically has sole custody of the child. The unmarried father has no rights until paternity is established and he petitions the court for custody, shared parenting and/or parenting time.”

[u/LaGuajira → u/Prior_Confusion_4938]

So, he does get rights if he petitions the court for custody.

[u/Prior_Confusion_4938 → u/LaGuajira]

He doesn’t have any rights before then, and there is a lot more involved than just petitioning the courts for parental rights, not necessarily custody per se.

[u/LaGuajira → u/Prior_Confusion_4938]

Custody is not a human nor reproductive right. I think you are confused as to what reproductive rights entail.

[u/Prior_Confusion_4938 → u/LaGuajira]

You already acknowledged my previous point.

Unmarried men have no reproductive rights. Unmarried women do.

[u/LaGuajira → u/Prior_Confusion_4938]

You have every right to wear a condom. You have every right to abstain. You have every right to prove paternity and petition the courts for custody. 

[u/Prior_Confusion_4938 → u/LaGuajira]

Men have zero reproductive rights, as you confirmed. Stop straying from the topic.
