Calstorm...don't worry about it. I'm having my fun here exposing the misogynists who seem to think they're not. They will attack you if you say anything positive about being a mother.

Don't accuse me of derailing this thread. You and your fan club of fellow misogynists started lashing out at feminists. That must have been the purpose of this thread after all since nobody seems to be discussing the actual article anymore.
Denying you're a misogynist isn't going to make it less so. It's like that guy that set himself on fire. He blamed every shortcoming in his life on feminists. The more they deny it the more it eats them up.

Being against socio-political "feminism" does not make one a misogynist, any more than being against pedophiles makes one anti-Catholic.Now if you want to discuss the merits of feminism in general, or specific topics posted in the OP, fine. But if you continue with the personal attacks I am going to report you and you have you booted from the thread.edit on 17-6-2011 by CobraCommander because: (no reason given)

Well..it's thanks to socio-political feminism that gave women their basic rights. So, by going against the accomplishments of feminism, you're advocating that women have no rights. Which is why I brought up the middle-east as being a suitable place for people like you. Women there do not have much rights at all.

Excellent thread.
I think you know my stance,on child support and the system.
The one Story that gets me is the man spending 100k . Hes spent WAY too much money to fight this. There had to have been a Lawyer or Attorney in his State that was well versed in this type of custody hearings. Even if you find proof of an EX doing drugs,it better be solid. They offer counseling through the State,Treatment programs,etc.......and are willing to KEEP someone on those programs,chance after chance. Second,He could have easily hired an investigator,to see if she was buying drugs,or on drugs. A simple anonymous call,a few choice words,maybe say HUGE amount of drugs involved,and another strike against her. You get enough of those,and a Judge WILL have to look at the evidence.Not to mention REAL charges,and maybe prison time.
Star and Flag!

Actually,it doesnt matter who the better parent is. It matters WHO the system can make more money on. Unfortunately,men "still" make more then women. But that Gap is closing.
Just remember.....100k,being spread around,and NOT on his kids.........edit on 17-6-2011 by sonnny1 because: (no reason given)

Feminism has always been about women's suffrage. Women still get paid less than men by the hour for the same job. Studies show that this is under the impression that men have to support families and women don't. So...I would say it's not quite over yet.
I have three pets to take care of and I don't have the luxury of adding them to my deductibles when I do my taxes every year.

Okay, Wendal...I'll take you off the misogynist list, if you take me off the list of radical feminists that support the mother in question in the OP.

No..not cats, 2 iguanas, 1 large dog...They are high maintenance too, just like kids.
Anyway...while women may be getting more degrees...they are also going into debt faster. A degree doesn't always guarantee someone a job either. I stalled grad school to work and mainly because I had no desire to get into heavy debt.
