So here’s the messed up story that began many years ago: A doctor named Sharon Irons was having an affair with a Chicago family physician named Richard Phillips. Apparently, they never had sexual intercourse, but she would perform oral sex on him. Well, after Phillips ejaculated in Irons’ mouth one night, she decided to store the semen in her cheeks and then spit it into a test tube. She later used the semen to impregnate herself.

Two years later, Irons filed a paternity lawsuit against Phillips, and the DNA test confirmed he is the father of her child. Subsequently, Phillips was ordered to pay $800 a month in child support. He claimed that she stole his sperm, but the court rejected that stance, saying his sperm was given to her as a “gift,” “an absolute and irrevocable transfer of title to property from a donor to a donee,” according to the court decision. Therefore, the sperm was hers to keep. The judge even added, “There was no agreement that the original deposit would be returned upon request.”

All of this is sad, hilarious, and low-down all at the same time. But here’s where the joke ends: There’s a child out there who was brought into the world in a cloud of malice and betrayal.

Whenever I hear stories about misguided baby-mamas and trifling baby-fathers, I typically have little to no compassion for either party, due to the massive amount of irresponsibility that usually surrounds these incidents. Men and women who partake in unprotected sex with people they’re not crazy about making a baby with, don’t deserve pity. And even though I feel bad for the dude in this scenario, I’ve always said that the best way to avoid “baby-mama drama” is not giving a woman you don’t see a future with access to your sperm.

Now obviously I never would’ve thought that a woman would use oral sex to garner herself sperm, but it’s still his sperm to protect. Regardless of Phillips’ actions, the reason I absolutely hate what Irons did is because she willfully brought a child into the world in a circumstance in which the father was completely removed not only from the procreation process, but also from the parenting process. And that is completely unforgivable because her selfish ass essentially ruined two lives.

I’ve read comments on this story written by men and women on other sites, and some of them are so idiotic I don’t even know where to begin. The problem here is not about male sexual irresponsibility — or female thirst. It’s about how a self-centered woman robbed her child of a healthy relationship with her father, and made this young child’s most personal and important relationships a laughing stock. Grown men and women are free to be as belligerent to each other as they want, but involving an innocent child makes Irons the epitome of an ignorant jackass.
