“ and your expression offends the many people here who believe in marriage, and have had good, lifelong marriages to prove it.”
Hold on Francis. You are using the same low information emotive reactive tactics that the left uses.
I pointed out the correct factual information that I have observed in 20 years of my career and what I have seen.
But you don’t care about that.
One can simultaneously hold two separate ideas, remember those days?
It used to be called discussion .
Yes marriage is an awesome thing.
But yes as well that many men are treated horribly in divorce.
Maybe you need to have some compassion on the great guys who were taken to the cleaner by a spouse who wasn’t a nice person .
Get out of your narrow circle and show compassion to people who have suffered terrible hurt.
Yes it does happen .
But as I mentioned above, that doesn’t take away from the fact that marriage is the preferred option .
My response was largely to SAM. I included you as a courtesy.
But again - why aren’t these disgruntled men trying to DO something ‘activist’ about this, instead of just complaining about it at every opportunity?
(Remember those days when you could CHANGE things, if you actually put forth the effort?)
What you have observed and what you have seen outside of a double-blind controlled study are empirical evidence, not necessarily factual evidence nor statistically valid analysis. Every observer has bias. Opinions, inferences and feelings aren't facts.
