i feel like men should still pay child support even if the parents split custody bc women still carried the baby for 9 months, put their health and body on the line to carry the baby, and go through the pain of labor and birth.

Child support is much more about the continued support of the child and their raising than about the 9 month period of their birth

Women should pay blue collar men alimony because they put their health and body on the line to make money to support the family and their child, usually causing severe joint damage and arthritis, tendinitis, hearing loss, lung disease, occupational cancers, and cardiovascular issues See how silly it sounds? Spousal and family support shouldn’t have the precedent set that it comes from the pain and suffering of the other. It comes from the need of the children to best support them

This also does not account for the fact that gay people and adoption exists

mind you women aren’t the reason blue collar men are blue collar when plenty of white collar jobs exist too that pay very well. even retail managers make six figures just sitting upstairs in their office so goodbye with that.

You mean the desperation of needing to support your wife and kids immediately instead of having years to plan an education and networking to land a white collar job doesn’t exist? Crazy concept with you
