Mandatory paternity testing

Postby LimaUniformNovemberAlpha » Mon Aug 05, 2019 9:39 am

It seems every time a guy asks his girlfriend for a paternity test, she takes it personally. And any time he doesn't, his rationalization is "I know my own girlfriend."

Well, that's what they all say.

Why could anyone in this day and age still object to mandatory paternity testing? If it's the law, it applies to everyone, and therefore, no one has any excuse to take it personally. Why not find out who the father really is, rather than assuming for no reason that whoever arbitrarily thinks he's the father must be the father?

Personally, I'm all for paternity testing because the truth must come out. We must not rely on the kinds of assumptions that have fallen through before.

How do we know this? Because the first step toward Communism is Socialism, and none of the aforementioned are even remotely Socialist in any way, shape, or form.

How about if neither partner wants it, then don't waste money on something that neither partner wants.

While this is a good idea, it probably wouldn't work just because of the "mandatory" part. When people hear "mandatory", they often don't like it.

I don't see why it has to be mandatory.

I think people are against it because it perhaps assumes by default that all women are thots.

There should certainly be a paternity test before a man is legally listed as the father of the child if he does not think he is the father, and paternity should always be proven before anyone is compelled to pay child support, but I see no reason why everyone should be tested if there is no paternity dispute.

"Potentially" thots, not necessarily actually thots. You know, like how all men are "potential rapists?"

First NSG makes me out to be a loner who can't get laid. Now it makes be out to be bitter about a relationship in which I supposedly did get laid. The former is marginally closer to the truth, (reality's more along the lines of "find out what I'll be dealing with before I have to deal with it") but the contradiction speaks volumes.

The only reason I would support such a thing is because I believe it is necessary for people to have a full accounting of the family medical history.

That said, it seems too authoritarian to implement.

Both of those sentiments are sexist.

OP, that's a very authoritarian attitude. I'd rather not have the assumption that all women are potentially thots that need a test in the event of pregnancy. It also attaches a stigma to pregnancy, that it's potentially evidence of impropriety across the entirety of society that needs to be tested. Sorry OP, but the idea is too bitter for my taste.

Indeed. I have a story.

After 10 years, the wife starts to think their kid looks kinda strange so she decides to do a DNA test.

She finds out that the kid is actually from completely different parents.

Wife: Honey, I have something very serious to tell you

Husband: What’s up?

Wife: According to DNA test results, this is not our kid

Husband: Well you dont’t remember, do you?? When we were leaving the hospital, we noticed that our baby had pooped. Then you said: - Please go change the baby, I’ll wait for you here. So I went inside, got a clean one and left the dirty one there

If a man is so afraid, maybe he shouldn't do any of that. Sounds much simpler than forcing the entire state to perform mandatory paternity tests for every single birth, something both expensive and unenforceable.
