Don’t Be Hatin’ His Procreation: Meet The Feminist’s Poster Man-Child

April 17, 2009 / 11:08 am • By Dr. Melissa Clouthier

Us Michiganders or is it Michiganians are good at lots o’ things. Procreation has got to be at the top of the list. I mean, look at this guy:

Authorities in Michigan say a man fathered 14 children with 13 women and owes more than $530,000 in unpaid child support.

A Michigan newspaper reports 42-year-old Thomas Frazier was jailed Thursday.

Court records say he hasn’t made a support payment in six years.

The newspaper says the unemployed man could be held for 90 days if he doesn’t pay $27,900.

Frazier says he thinks he fathered only three of the children and it’s unrealistic for authorities to expect him to pay child support that was $3,000 a month at one point.

What a fine, upstanding fella.

I’m going to swim upstream a bit on this one, though. What if women couldn’t get child support if she was unmarried? What if a woman knew that she was on her own if she got pregnant–no government support, no spousal support, no government subsidized abortions?

What if she either had to raise the child, her choice, on her own or give the child up for adoption? Do you think she would be more selective about her bed companions?

While this guy is despicable, irresponsible and a slut, he’s been enabled by at least 13 women, probably significantly more, who couldn’t be bothered to use birth control (not that that’s always 100%) or demand that he use it.

There is no way for him to make right by all these kids. He’s like the Octo-Mom. As the parent to one kid he wouldn’t be great, he’ll likely be exponentially worse with more.

The current situation where a guy can be on the hook because he’s on a birth certificate creates these insane situations. And let me be clear: I think he’s an irresponsible jerk.

Still, if women’s lib has gotten women anything, it’s ownership of their reproductive organs. A woman can make sure she doesn’t get pregnant and she pays the price if she’s irresponsible. These women needed to have more sense than have unprotected random sex with this creep. It’s not like irresponsible, slutty men make fantastic providers.

    I agree with your basic assessments of this sad situation. Nevertheless, I find significant humor in your particular choice of metaphor, “I’m going to swim upstream a bit …”, as it pertains to the actions of “this guy [who] is despicable, irresponsible and a slut”.

    Not to be confused with “Meshugener”, which is Yiddish for “a crazy person”.

    At what point does it become kosher to forward the suggestion of chemical castration?

    Congrats on the Sammie!

    “if women’s lib has gotten women anything, it’s ownership of their reproductive organs”

    What do you mean?? According to modern feminist ideology, women do not have reproductive organs. Rather, women have the right and the power to simply choose their own truth, and thereby deny the very thing that is unique to woman. Women do not have reproductive organs — they have sex organs, that is, they have organs by which to have sex with.

    According to modern feminist ideology, a woman’s sex organs have as much to do with reproduction as does her elbows. According to modern feminist ideology, the only real woman is a neutered female eunuch, that is, the only real woman is a woman who denies the very thing that makes her a woman.

    The thing is — they can pretend all they want that women are not women, that they are not procreative persons, and that sex is, by its very nature, a procreative act, but not only does nature prove them a liar in that respect, it also proves them a liar with respect to another inherent aspect of womanhood — the desire for love and affection.

    Eliminating government subsidization of child/abortion support for women would not result in women being more sexually responsible because, aside from the procreative aspect, a good number of women actually believe it when he says “I love you” and that what they are doing is an expression of love, rather than exploitive humping for the fun of it. Indeed, some even become intentionally pregnant, so as so acquire an object to give their love to (a child).

    Evil,

    Thanks! Just getting around to my comments.

    Bender,

    I get what you’re saying. But the numbers suggest that back when women wouldn’t have the support through the state or a man–when they were stuck with their “bastard child”, there was less of this “love” stupidity.

    14 years ago I was one of “those females” that you talk about. I was 18 and truthfully didn’t comprehend the reality of pregnancy. I thought that I was probably infertile (duh). When I got pregnant I had no knowledge that the government would bail me out or that I would receive assistance to enable me to live on my own. I was happy when I found out about it, it allowed me to survive on my own for the first 5 years of my son’s life. When I got pregnant, what I think I did foster (unfairly) in the back of my mind was the notion that my parents would take care of me and everything would be fine. This wasn’t a well received burdon by my folks. Eventually I moved out on my own, as there was no assistance available if you were living with your family.

    This may not be entirely true or fair, but during those 5 years I rationalized my assistance with the thoughts of the money I paid in taxes as well as the social security I paid that I knew even then that I would probably never receive.

    As an adult I wonder, who expect 18 year olds (and younger) to make mature and responsible decisions all the time? I’m intelligent and tend to excel at what I do, I’m not lazy or incompetent. Does the responsibility lie with parents to educate their children, instill values that support healthy lives, and support an intelligent decision making process (which might include birth control or abstinence?) I think so…

    I’ve found myself wishing that there was mandatory birth control for women/children under the age of 22. This totally interferes with freedom – but it’s just my opinion.

    And by the way, I love my son dearly and he’s truly been a blessing in my life. I wouldn’t give him up for anything. The difference between me and some of those others, is that I didn’t continue to have more and more unsupported children (statistics – ugh!).
