So should he not tell the woman that she has a disease because doing so would indicate that the husband has been unfaithful? If not, where's the difference?

No-one is wanting to define what the father DOES with the genetic information on his partner's child. If he knowingly wants to raise a child that is not his, that's nobody else's business. But he should have exposure to the information so that he can make an informed decision.

Men have been imprisoned for checking on a child's DNA without the mother's consent. You see, if he isn't the father, he has no rights to be checking the DNA but he can't know if he is the father without checking the DNA.

Worse than knowing that your biological father did not want anything to do with you? At what age should you be told this? I vote the child should be told regardless, at age 18.

In case you aren't aware there are quite a few young men across the English speaking world who were raped by women as youngsters and then forced to pay child support to their rapists.

Nothing to do with morality. The woman who knowingly names the wrong person as father is engaging in a crime.

"Theres likely a sampling bias in that metric. Very few men are playing mom."

Stop making excuses for abusers. Child abuse is committed by individuals who make a decision to engage in those abusive acts. It has nothing to do with how much time one spends with children.

The more scholarly "feminists" posit that feminism was hijacked by female sexists since around the 60's.

Essentially, modern feminism in practice is not actual feminism but an inverted form of patriarchy according to these people..It is true though, modern feminism in practice is a simple power grab.

If women were wealthier, they end up bearing less children as their self centerdness takes hold to direct their attention towards nonchild bearing activities.

Its well demonstrated around the world that birth rates go down as income rates go up.

Paying child support is parental responsibility. All the mothering in the world is worth nothing out in an open field with no sustenance.

Did we forget that a legitimate child is 50% the father and 50% the mother?

A dad asking for code info is like looking at 50% his own code. Oh, but wait. A woman has the right to deny a man information about what 50% the child actually got from him because it becomes female property at the point of conception.
