Foids Attempt To Use Math To Justify Cucking

https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/xurzhr/psa_if_your_husband_suggested_or_demanded_a?sort=controversial

In the UK 20% of men are unknowingly raising children that are not biologically theirs . It’s not an insult to paternity test in the face of these type of statistics. It may be hurtful but it’s definitely necessary imo.

:marseypikachu2:

The 20-30% positive-ratio comes from the studies that analyze the results of paternity tests, not the paternity results of all married men.

:marseyspecial: :marseyhmm:

Don't do it, statistically speaking, men are NOT unknowingly raising children that are not theirs. That is a fake-news talking point that feeds misogynistic believes. If he is guided by this popular belief or you think he doesn't has good intentions, it is your right to confront him.

:marseythonk:

Even the comments cant math right.

f you only x-ray people with really sore legs, and you find that 50 percent have a broken bone, you can't extrapolate that to say that 59 per cent of people have a broken leg. This is called selection bias. Basically, the reason that they ask for a test is very important in interpreting the actual population statistic based on the sample.

Yeah I wonder what the selection group of people taking paternity tests is :marseyclueless:

Even if you have reason to ask for a paternity test, it’s still 70-80% likely the kid is yours. If you wanted another way to look at the data.

:marseywhirlyhat:

The real statistic is right here in the comments. 3/4 of men so who want a paternity test are just paranoid. Male jealousy is, scientifically speaking, bullshit and/or projecting an alarmingly high amount of the time.

They didn't even use math well. Here's how you do it:

Let's say just 0.5% of children are being raised by men that incorrectly believe themselves to be said child's father. The number might be higher than that, but there's no way it's lower than 1/200, so we're lowballing here, helping out the "don't do a paternity test" side of the argument.

The average cost of raising a child in America, from birth to adulthood, is ~$300,000. Let's say, for the sake of argument, that the father pays half of that, $150,000. Men typically have a higher income than women, so it might be more than half, but there's a lot more single mothers raising kids than single fathers raising kids, so it evens out. There's also instances of the state paying, rather than the parents, but that's difficult to account for, so we're just using "half the costs" because it's convenient and close enough.

$150,000/200 is $750. So if a paternity test costs $750 or less, it is, by the numbers, a bad financial decision not to have one done. A quick bit of Googling suggests that an at-home paternity test costs, at most, $200, and a court admissable paternity test done at a lab or hospital costs, at most, $500. The exception is prenatal paternity tests, which cost quite a bit more. But since the combined cost of an at-home test and a proper lab test is, at most, $700, it would be financially irresponsible to not do an at-home test and follow up with a lab test if need be.

Or you could avoid all this nonsense and stop fricking foids, you degenerate straggots.
