4. Reading those quotes was truly bizarre

Can someone explain to me the problem with mistaken paternity? Some of these men seem concerned they are supporting children that are not theirs. I thought that paternity was so easy to establish, that if there was some contention that could be cleared up quickly. How is it not? Or is that just a way to complain about something that doesn't exist?

And these misogynists use parental custody as a smoke screen for their real agenda. If that was an issue they cared about, there are several sensible ways to go about it. But obviously, that is not what they're after. The use of so many women on the panel to spout their nonsense was incredibly despicable, a new low.

you can still challenge paternity within 3 years of child's birth shaayecanaan Jun 2014 #18
