I'm a woman. I am too sick to have my own kids. I have to interact with "mothers", all the time who are awful to their partners and children, so I would like to see these women have less control.

I also refuse to get romantically involved before I judge someones character. I found my boyfriend online and screened him pretty carefully. I said I would only date guys with a job, house, and masters degree. I worked backwards from there, seeing if we got along as people.

Dated too many musicians, to believe in fairy tales. My credit was fucked by guys using me, so I won't date people anymore who don't wipe their own ass. This attitude works for me and makes my relationship easier, instead of harder.

I don't know if I would have gotten to this point as a guy. They have too much instinct to be irresponsible with getting girls pregnant. For a guy to be like that, he would have to be very driven, or seen some awful situations.
