(What does 'rgas' mean? I couldn't find any relevant results....)




Probably a "fat-finger" typo of 'has' on a phone.

Okay, then adults stealing from one another don't need society to step in. Legalize stealing? It's not like the one spouse consents when the other cheats.




Adults cheating is at most a contract violation, which unlike stealing would be a civil offense rather than a criminal one.  Your partner doesn't require your consent to have sex with someone other than you.

No, children are unable to consent to sex with adults.  There is often a lower cutoff for sex with peers, but not adults.

An adult woman can't have consensual sex with an underage boy by definition.  Adults cheating on one another don't need society to step in.  Adults fucking kids do.

Of course, in practice the concept of "toxic masculinity" is usually limited to just those expressions of masculine gender roles that the analyst finds toxic rather than those the men they are addressing do.  Which conveniently allows them to lock men into "always playing the hero and hiding their human vulnerability and complaints" while claiming not to.  EDIT: The goal of those who talk about "toxic masculinity" is never to liberate men, but to coerce them into behavior more beneficial to the speaker.

That would only make sense if you view trust as a binary.  Typical usage treats it instead as a spectrum, with healthy relationships requiring less verification for the same level of risk.

Remember the context here is putting your name on a birth certificate, something done immediately after giving birth.  How exactly would a coma or head trauma lead you to incorrectly believe yourself to be the mother in such a case without a massive case of medical malpractice?

Not when it comes to legally binding documents.  "Trust, but verify" is the way healthy relationships work.  "Trust, but don't you dare verify" is the way abusive ones work.

Men and women stand equal in their lack of natural guarantees about faithfulness, but not in their guarantees about parentage: you can present him with a child and falsely claim it is his.  He can't present you with a child and falsely claim it is yours.

The men at the top were more vulnerable to the men at the bottom in the past, necessitating those at the top making concessions to other men in addition to "wooing" women.  Male coordination weakens as that vulnerability is eliminated by technological and social changes.

Yes, I am married and similar emotional blackmail nearly changed that.  No.  Women do not deserve "trust" in this case since they are guaranteed such knowledge naturally.  If you don't care enough about your husband to grant him the same privilege that biology grants you, you don't deserve him.

If my husband demanded a paternity test for our kids, I'd be very offended. If he couldn't trust me that much, does he even want to be married?




This is textbook emotional blackmail.  If you take offense to his verification of highly sensitive and legally important information, I question if you actually want to be married.

There's an obvious analogy to a situation where a man signs a birth certificate. Acts as a child's father for some years. Only for it to come to light they are not genetically related.




There's also an obvious problem with this analogy: in the case of adoption the choice was made knowingly whereas in this case it was the result of fraud on the part of the custodial parent.

In the case of pedo porn, this is exactly what we want to happen.




No, that's exactly what people say they want to happen.  More realistically, people usually just want to use pedophiles as punching bags for status signalling purposes.
