[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men will continue to marry because it's their only avenue for having children and enjoying uninterrupted access to them. Women control procreation and don't need a steady male presence in their life to get a child. But for a man who wants to have children in his life, the key is to find a cooperating female, since there are no egg banks for men, and surrogate parenthood/single father adoptions aren't common or accessible to many.

For as long as marriage is the condition of children, men will have to marry.  [/quote]

Can't believe I just read this BS. Men don't need the security of marriage to have kids...women do![/quote]
Reality shows otherwise - how many single fathers by choice do you see?[/quote]

Are you aware of the number of unmarried women who have children? The percentages are staggering. All men have to do is to impregnate a woman whether intentionally or otherwise. Then, if they wish, they can have a relationship with the children though many choose not to do so unfortunately. Having children does not require a man to marry a woman.[/quote]
You are missing the point.  For a woman, having a child in their life is relatively easy, man or no man. Women who want to have children don't need to marry. They can get pregnant by whoever, or use a sperm bank.  All they have to do is get impregnated.

For a man, having a child in their life with uninterrupted, full-time access to that child and the fathering experience that goes with it, requires a cooperating female. There are no egg banks for single men, and surrogacy isn't available to many due to expense and social attitudes.  We aren't talking about siring biological offspring.  We are talking about a full-on parenting experience, shaping and having control over character and upbringing of another human being. If a man wants that, he needs a cooperating partner of the opposite sex (with very few exceptions).  A woman doesn't.  [/quote]
