I guess you don't think fathers have any responsibility in raising their children.

You have some chip on your shoulder. This conversation was about subsidizing a stay at home mom so that she could stay at home. I am assuming baby daddy is paying for mommy to not work.

No chips. You should not call fathers baby daddy. They should be fathers. If the father is subsidizing the mother, that's their familial choice. Why do I care?

Father's have equal responsibility. So it's not subsidizing a mother to be a mother. It's subsidizing parents to be parents because it would help out both "mommy" and "baby daddy" as you say.

If the father is subsidizing the mother why is the mother asking for a handout? Did you even read the post???

I didn't assume that the father was. You did.

Did you read the post? The post doesn't imply any gender roles.

The comment implied gender roles, but the person should have said parent instead of mother. In either case, you're assuming that "baby daddies" are fully supporting their kids and the mothers are just taking a stipend from your wallet. That's why it's weird.
