In a society without marriage, and without any payment for the work women do (essentially, creating and bringing up the next generation of people), why would any woman have a child for a man? And if a woman did choose to have a child, there would be no reason to name that child after the sperm donor or to establish a relationship between the donor and her child, as the man would only be a hindrance to her independence and ability to find new mates or move for a career, etc.
Not sure why a man would think that’s some kind of utopia.[/quote]
Are you serious? Of all the married guys I know, only one actually got married with the desire to have kids. The rest did it because the woman wanted to.
Most of my married friends would gladly pay their wives to not have kids.
BTW, Brian, this is a great thread. Keep the words of wisdom coming.[/quote]
Getting married for any other reason than to create a framework for having children is insane. Why on earth could anyone be that stupid?
