1. age. The child was older in that thread than in this one.
2. discrimination. Here, due to the way the birth is registered, one parent, whom is almost 100% of the time the mother, can register the child, list the father as "unknown" when the father is "known" and do as they please. This has been found to be discriminatory as it makes men second class citizens in this regard.
3. choice. The child in first thread was registered with the fathers name as agreed by the parents at that time. That poster had a choice at the beginning to choose the last name of their child. They chose the father, and thus should live by their decision. In this instance, the father was not given a choice or otherwise have any input, thus robbing them of their ability to at least have their name included in one way or another.
They are not apples and apples. They are not the same scenarios.
