text: why do men say that women trap them with pregnancies? i am just really curious as to why men always use the lame excuse and say that women trapped them with babies.  it' s really ridiculous, and i hear it all the time.  it is so common on talk shows such as maury, jerry springer, in life.  i can also say that in the past i had an ignorant *** man say that i trapped him.  how ridiculous!  i think he trapped me with all those lies!   that was many years ago, but i was just wondering.  but really i think they do it as a way to dismiss thei responsiblity from parenthood, and to soothe their guilt.  men have been blaming women since back in the day in the garden of eden.  how do you raise sons to be responsible and to respect women's bodies? i think they use that excuse to look like they are a victim, but who are they fooling?  it's the responsibility of the male and female to protect themselves if they don't desire children.  why is it that when we give them the news of the new baby they all of a sudden ask, are you sure its mine? and my all time favorite:  why didnt you protect yourself?  i mean they think that we are the ones that have to use protection , why not them?  and then they think that we want to tie them down by having their kid. its just an excuse they use to make it seem like we planned that and they shouldnt have to be responsible for the kid and i'm sick of it.  if they dont want kids then they should stop screwing around.
