yup, my site has officially been sexed up.

"the biological father and I are only platonically involved."

So Gianna, not wishing to judge, what did you say to the guy ? " I want your sperm, then you can fuck off"?

So much for your little lefty and member of the Howard Hezbollah being conceived as an act of love, though I suppose in your case self love will have to do.

Gee, nic, what did she do, reject your sperm?

gees tim.. why did you post a link to that SHITE? it wasted two minutes of my time.

Congratulations to Gianna. nic - weird, sad comment. roscoe - clickin' back and making comments wasted two more. Also weird and sad.

Gee, Nic, how did you guess? Those were my EXACT words. Right after, "pass me that turkey baster".

"Howard Hezbollah" - that's great!

ps thanks Dylan.

I've no problem with anyone's lifestyle choice as long as it doesn't cost me. Congrats on the curtain-tugger, Gianna, and i hope you ain't goin' on welfare and moving into a caravan park.

I'd congratulete her, but she has banned me from commenting on her blog.

It ain't easy being evil. :(

If you want to do a Gianna, I'm here for you.

Gianna should read the excellent Angela Shanahan in today's Australian on the importance of the role of fathers. To deliberately and calculatingly deprive a child of a father is hardly a mere 'lifestyle choice', but a life sentence for the child. The absolute epitomy of selfishnesness.
You are absolutely right, Nic.

Alex: that's quite enough.

Nic, so you are saying I should've lovingly aborted it instead?

Richard, that's a pretty big assumption. Who's depriving anyone of a father? As I said, the father is going to be involved, both practically and financially. Surely whether or not he and I are having sex is not going to make all that much difference to the child. But if it makes it easier for you to come to terms with, just pretend we were married and are now divorced. OK? Or do you look down upon people who divorce from the same great height?

btw Evil Pundit - I don't even recall seeing your name before, and I'm pretty sure I haven't banned you.

I called myself Indole Ring then.

But if you don't like comments you don't agree with, I won't go over there and make them. I have my own blog where I can rant as much as I like.

Can I ask you a question, Gianna? If your child is a boy, what will you tell him about his future role in life? Will you tell him that, in the future, as more women make the choice you made, it is increasingly unlikely that he will be involved as part of a loving family, but that his main role may well be as a sperm donor, and probably provider of financial support.
If you do decide to be so truthful with him, how do you think he will react? Will he welcome this, or curse you and all the women like you for being so incredibly self-centred and stupid?

Gianna,

of course I would not rather you had an abortion.I responded to what you wrote of your own free will and posted it for all to see. The tone of your complete post smacks of " well, this is what I want, I need something though I don't really need a man, though I will expect him to support us financially"

Gianna, you made your own choice for your own reason, thats your business, however,posting it for others to see only invites comments good and bad. As a man, I find the way in which you seemed to dismiss your partner as an irrelevance to your plans selfish in the extreme.

So, the child becomes a chattel,a new toy to relieve the current boredom of life, brought up in your own image, to satisfy needs that you have, while the dad can support you.

I feel sorry for your partner.

So, it's kind of like getting a new pocketbook?

Ahhh rejection, this feels familiar. Oh well, I guess its back to the wife...

Richard -- my guess is the kid will turn out better with Gianna's friend as it's father than if you were in any way involved in raising it. Get a life.

Erk... sorry about the superflous apostrophe.

Eh?

Don't you just love wankers like Robert, whose idea of a contribution is a couple of lines of abuse of someone they don't know anything about?
Dickwits like him should just fuck off.
