"Women choose who they want to date." Men also make that choice.

"If the man ends up being a dead beat dad. . ." Sometimes, a guy is an obviously irresponsible person and she should steer clear of him. Often, it is not obvious.

"then it is the women's fault." It may be her fault for making a poor choice but that does not relieve him of legal responsibility for supporting his child.

These things are often a lot more complex than simply saying the guy is a "deadbeat dad". But we're only responsible for our own actions, not those of other adults. If the woman has good reason to believe the guy won't take a role in the child's life, she shouldn't have unprotected sex with him.

Well yeah, everyone is responsible for the kind of person they date or whatever. I don't know how that not obvious.

false it's the man that chose to leave he's 100 % at fault

There is truth in it, because women hold the power in reproduction, they today's women clearly don't take seriously the concomitant responsibility that comes with that power.

The man obviously is guilty too, but that's a given. What modern society still refuses to do is hold women responsible for their part in the epidemic of fatherless children that is literally destroying western society.

False. We both choose. And if you're not the kind of person who approaches you can only choose from the people who chose you.

Kind of true. I'm sure there were plenty of red flags she overlooked
