I would have been prepared to debate it with her -how much her kids are my problem, how much she is likely to be willing to pay for my kids in a similar or slightly different situation, how much she is prepared to put into the relationship to match my contribution and so on but then she said the magic words "Be a real man" and I was gone.

I expect Beta hear the magic words "Be a real man" quite a bit before she divorced him for not being enough. She probably got a bit of Chad action after that but she is stressed with the responsibility of spending Beta's money and working part time and decided she wanted a new and upgraded Beta. Reality is now slapping her in the face.

The magic words "Be a real man" transforms a simp into a woman's dog but it makes a real man vanish into thin air because a real man knows he is worth more than that, he is faced by the choice of simp or walk and he knows walking is the better option. He sees pussy in the context of its real value. It is not worth simping for.

There's a philosophy from the 1980's called "Choice for Men": The concept that the morality of abortion for women, that to walk away from unwanted pregnancies without regard to morality (that abortion may be murder), relieved men of the guilt of abandoning unwanted children as well.

I appreciate arguments and concerns about it, particularly, "the best interests of the children" but the above is a great example of how children harmed when they incentivize irresponsible behavior.

For the pro-lifers, they thought that mandatory child-support for bastard children would get men to keep it in our pants or pay for the children. For those who didn't want to pay welfare for unwed poor women, similar. It DOES work on men, such as us, who are conscious and in control but this meant the women would seek out the worst men to breed with.

Historically, women such as the above who got knocked up out of wedlock would wind up starving on the street or in a workhouse and that would limit her procreative proclivities. Church charities were strict.
