'A growing number are intentionally becoming pregnant by men they don't expect to be involved. Is it feminism or folly?

Katya’s attitude might seem blunt, reducing it to nothing more than a biological transaction between herself and a suitable stud, but as a fiercely independent and financially secure woman, she is not alone. The news that the French justice minister, Rachida Dati, 42, is pregnant was greeted with feverish speculation about the identity of the father. Dati, meanwhile, has refused to name him, saying simply that her private life is “complicated”. “I’ve always said that having a child was fundamental to me,” was as far as she would go.'

We have a name for the action of a person who satisfies their reproductive instinct without the other person's consent. It begins with 'R'.

Interesting Quotes
“He was happy enough to have a lot of sex with me without using a rubber, and as soon as I was pregnant, I told him that I wouldn’t expect anything from him financially. It is quite nice having the odd Saturday off when Sam takes Maya out, but I really wouldn’t want him to have much more access than that, and I think it suits us both. She’s my daughter.”
Then where did half the DNA come from? She's his daughter too. Talk about unbelievable ignorance. Well, at least she's not extorting him on top of limiting access. Now, from one extreme to the other. Dan, 31, hits the nail right on the head:
"When a woman decides to go it alone, she is ultimately trying to eliminate the father. What gives her the right to make that decision? It’s selfish, and I don’t see a difference between these women and the 16-year-old who has a baby because she wants someone to love her.”
"However, when even eminent fertility expert points out that there is 'a shortage of men in their thirties and forties who seem capable of real commitment', what is a girl to do?" Translation: Men are tired of being treated like shit in relationships and refuse to imprison themselves, so women find a new way to take advantage of men to get what they want.

I totally agree with both Dans. The one in the article, and the one who commented. I think this trend of single parenting, and of having kids without one partner's consent is driven by the way the family courts reward mothers at the expense of the fathers. Even in motherhood, still acting like kids.
