Do men have the right to NOT be responsible?
One of the readers of this blog passed on a VERY interesting article.
For those of you who don’t know the fundamentals of reading (or just don’t have the time), let me give you a break down.
THIS article basically states that b/c women are given the right to abort a child without their partners consent, men should also be allowed to choose not to be responsible for a child if they feel that they were somehow “tricked” into being a daddy. The article goes on to say that women have been given the right to handle their bodies in whatever they see fit, yet men tend to have no recourse. Imagine if this were indeed a law all across the United States. There’d be a LOT of men crying foul on the daily.
While I definitely understand the subject’s viewpoint, I just don’t think that this is the greatest idea. What do you ladies (and especially men) think?

If I have (and have obviously forgotten about it), charge it to old age.
If I haven’t, allow me.
Before I get into my mini-rant, let me preface it all by saying that what I am about to post is NOT to say that I discriminate on WHO I do business with. At the end of the day, if there’s a service that I need and there’s a person or group of people who are not Black that are able to give it to me, trust me…I’m all for it. However, I have always been one to strongly support Black businesses. No real reason…I’m just always happy to see my people ‘win.’ However, I really need to say that there are some Black businesses out there that REALLY need to get their act together. And I’m speaking from my PERSONAL experience.
Top 5 Reasons I’ll be SANGLE fo’evah
…umm, aside from the obvious. lol
So, I go out…meet guys who take an interest in a G. We exchange numbers, text* it up a few times and then nothing happens. A lot of times, it’s b/c I’ve made a decision a few words in that they’d get on my nerves. But most of the time…it’s me.
I can be honest with myself. Really, I can. And here are the top FIVE reasons why I’ll probably be single for a really long time:
I’m Gonna Be 30…
And to some, that doesn’t seem like much. But to me, it means a lot…especially considering that at one point, I didn’t even know if I would live to see 30.
