I guess I'm directing hostility, because I'm feeling hostility. Simple as that.
Why?
From what I understand, FIB is a single mom and that she doesn't want any (or much) contact between dad and child because dad is bad and he's abusive and violent, right?
Now she comes on here telling us a story about her friend divorcing her husband because of drugs. They've been friends since 14 so are likely the same age -- 25yo, max, right?
So now here we have two fairly young and evidently immature women who knowingly chose to procreate with two (possibly) loser guys who are violent druggies. FIB and her friend are exactly the type of fodder that both sides of the political spectrum trot out as evidence for why the rest of us should have such limited parental rights.
These are people who make bad choices, then ask the rest of society to make bad laws and legal decisions to minimize any negative accountability for the stupid choices they make.
-I got knocked up by a violent loser druggy so you have to make it easier for women to exclude fathers from their children's lives.
-I don't have enough money to live on my own and take care of my child, so you have to make laws and systems to take money from other people to make my life easier.
-I chose to involve myself with a violent loser druggy, so you have to make laws giving out restraining orders like candy.
Gentlemen, the social and legal fallout we're all feeling today is the result of the bad choices of female children.
Then she comes on here complaining that eliminating men from their families still isn't quite easy enough.
