I often visit an ethnic american message board to read and contribute to discussions on various issues. One issue that often crops up is rises in the numbers of out of wedlock children.
Many of the men on the site feel that women are ultimately responsible for OOW children because all they have to do is "close their legs". They feel that women are more responsible because women are ultimately the ones left "holding the baby" so to speak, so its down to them to take greater preventative action.
I feel however that men and women are equally responsible, as i do not see why the fact that the woman usually shoulders the responsibility of caring for the child, has any bearing on the rights and wrongs of OOW children.
I want to ask the question here, because there is a broader spectrum of races here, so i can get a more international perspective.
