On average, a feminist marriage will have at least four income sources, two of them tax-free, plus backup welfare entitlements.
I am totally getting right on this!

Guys, before y'all jump into anything, speaking from my admittedly limited perspective in a boring old non-feminist marriage...there's just a slight possibility that kids may be way the fuck more expensive than this guy thinks they are. And also that food stamps are not actually printed on gold leaf.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, yeah. But women in a feminist marriage are supposed to sleep with rich men (while lying about using birth control) so they can get child support.
I'm still reading stuff on that blog. There's a lot of scary men out there.
(You may all yell "duh" at me if you wish.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

That's why you need to lesbian-marry them off as soon as possible.

Closer to the MRA end of the spectrum.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It reads to me like being a mother in this situation is just a means to get the government to give you money, though.
I'm just answering Hil's question, not commenting on a feminist marriage at all. I don't think it's surprising to want to raise a child with someone else--platonic dyads should be just as acceptable a way of achieving that--if you can commit to a stable parenting environment, that is, as opposed to upping the risk of tearing the family unit apart because you're not making a Relationship commitment to them.
I know sisters who moved in together to raise children, for instance. I wouldn't do it, but I don't think it's a dubious concept.

The crazy comes from another planet if the crazy thinks aid to dependent children or baby daddies are reliable sources of big income.
I suspect he might be a bit sociopathic considering his lack of empathy
I want to think this, but I worry he's just an asshole.
The line between sociopath and asshole is sometimes hard to draw. If Vick had only hosted and watched the dogfights, I'd say he was an ignorant asshole who was a product of his environment. But he participated in innovative and appalling ways to kill unwanted dogs.

Dang. But...they start earning their keep after the first 3 months, right? RIGHT?
(We were shopping at Target for a baby shower gift and I found wee tiny Batman underpants, grabbed them off the rack, spun around, and said to Tim, "Please impregnate me NOW. I have to have a baby to put these on." He refused. I don't even know why I keep him around.)
And also that food stamps are not actually printed on gold leaf.
WHAT. I don't even know WHY I voted for Obama.
