- I have previously discussed the chastity belt theory of forced
- pregnancy. There is another variant: I call this the `She did me
- wrong, so I'll punish them all' theory of forced pregnancy. This is
- in the Will Steeves tradition, but we also now have Jim McNicholas:
-
- >F.Y.I. my ex-$#@$% makes NO financial contribution at all she refuses
- >to get a job and stays in the house I bought, and married a guy who
- >got her pregnant again so now he's on the hook for this and the future
- >kids, and she just lives off the support money, good scam, support
- >moms, kinda like welfare moms, only more vindictive!!!
-
- First, he has a bad interpersonal experience, from which he draws an
- inappropriate conclusion:
-
- >Most support mothers don't have any of their own, they live off the
- >very thing they hate the most, men!!!
-
- Jim needs to get a clue. His bad experience with women do not support
- the conclusions he is drawing. I suggest he look into two hypotheses:
- (1) She's a bad apple. (2) He's a bad apple. Jim's control freak
- response of advocating forced pregnancy suggests to me that he was the
- problem.
-
- Either way the solution is that Jim should work on his interpersonal
- skills, to overcome the tendency to associate with bad apples or cease
- being one. This would be much more appropriate than advocating some
- vindictive legislative agenda to stifle women. This is what Will did:
- He got some woman pregnant who refused to be his brood mare; he has
- even reported that he felt like murdering her for not `respecting'
- him. Now he wants to pass legal restrictions on abortion.
