You also state that men should be made to step up and father children , women can’t escape it, why should men be able to.

Well, let me say this.

Men have ZERO rights given by society to allow them to escape the burden of child rearing, it is not up to them but in fact up to the mother. Even if a man were raped and his sperm taken by force , he would still be held legally and financially responsible for the offspring, a mother on the other hand can choose abortion and unilateral adoption. Choices that men don’t have.

Justice demands — by definition! — that innocent third parties not be harmed.-???!

Really? Ok. So are you saying that if a thief breaks into your house and steals everything and is caught, justice demands–by definition!!! (three exclamation points!)– that he is not punished because that would cause harm to his innocent children?

By this rationale, anyone with a child can commit any crime, and that–by definition!–is retarded.

The cited article claims:

The most extensive and authoritative report…concluded that 2 percent of men with “high paternity confidence” — married men who had every reason to believe they were their children’s father — were, in fact, not biological parents.

The suppressed reference is to a meta-analysis by Anderson, appearing in Current Anthropology in 2006. The analyzed studies do not specify their samples as “married men who had every reason to believe they were their children’s father”. Moreover, the specification of the 2% statistic isn’t correct. A more comprehensive review of non-paternity statistics suggests that roughly 5% of children in high-income countries falsely identify their biological father.

Anyone remotely aware of the existence of axiomatic libertarians can already have predicted their position and argument and already know what they think of that.

…says the Bayesian superman. Well, I think that your response to being shoved head-first into a wood chipper would be equally “predictable” and boring and “axiomatic”, Hanson. But the tedious predictability of your generic uniformative complaints (screams, unimaginative and repetitive shrieking, etc.) still doesn’t give anyone the right t\o turn you into Hanson puree.

Roissy +Hanson. The nerd will to power unleashed! (Make sure you wash your hands afterwards, though.)
