Why does our society shame absent parents?

[Crimson_Dynamo]

Nope. Cool story tho

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Allow me to ask you to clarify what you said because somethinf about it is not clear to.

As I understand your response, you are asserting it is irrelevant that in other societies it may be considered acceptable to abandon one's children; this fact would only be relevant if I were planning to raise my children in one of said societies.

Is that correct?

With respect to the OP, that's pretty much the gist.

Wait.... is this a parody of what liberals say when they talk about race/gender being a social construct???

I provide for myself. I don't look at people for what they can do for me.

Growth is a individual journey not something that comes about because i pay a person for sex and affection.

Also most things that people Truly need can not be bought or can have a monetary value placed on them

I have no problem contributing but my contributions shouldn't be quantified. I'm not obligated to financially provide because in 2019 women can work for themselves.

The bolded is soooo not true. You're so worried about not giving you can't even see beyond your own wallet. People have a lot more to give than money. But you're not a team player so this probably isn't something you really know about.

And again, you go to work and school and don't just show up. You add value by what you bring to the table. But somehow you expect someone who is suppose to care about you to just be around because you can hold a conversation? Lol

Then you expect her to have sex with you but if she gets pregnant you'll abandon the child because of social norms. Lol

Best case scenario you'll nickel and dime her to make sure you don't spend more than her on the baby. And I know you'll be keeping the receipts so that the baby can pay you back later because...God forbid...you had to pay for the affection of a child. Lol

Being a good mother and father are social constructs defined by western culture. There is no natural/instinctive formula on how to construct a family or who should be present in said family,

In other cultures it is considered normal for the dad to not be involved in a child's upbringing at all and in some cultures it's vice versa

So why do we shame and belittle people who don't want to be a parents in the states?

Because social stigma aside they're not doing anything that's wrong

Sounds like crapola to me.

 

[CarmelBarbie]

His question was actually entertained. Hm.

 

[jeh]

Lol I guess we know who playing Play in the next house party remake

All animals don't care for their kids. Some animals kill they kids if they don't dip a few days after birth.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that family roles aren't the same accross cultures

There are no "alls". There are exceptions to every rule. The overwhelming majority of creatures on this planet have an innate urge to protect and provide for their offspring. You aren't family, if you are abandoning them.

What is the point of having a child if you are not going to be a parent to that child? It's never been easier to prevent pregnancy, so it's possible to have sex without reproducing. So what is the argument here?

Mosuo - Wikipedia

Most matriarchal culture's are like this breh

The Mosuo aren’t as black and white though. It’s more matrilineal and men still end up in charge of stuff. The men might not raise their kids but they are expected to raise their nephews/nieces/baby cousins, etc. a child is still expected to have a male figure in their lives, it’s like child rearing musical chairs.

We got a list of some different types of societies in cultural anthropology, but I can’t think of any where child rearing is on the women or one parent alone. There may be some out there, though

Because their absenteeism becomes everybodys problem down the line..

Sounds like someone read the first page in a sociology book and ran with it

No one should entertain this nonsense.
