With this kind of hostility in the work place, doing the mundane is not trivial. Men don't have to justify their jobs. I had to justify myself daily, and I had to be better than any man in the same job, just so no one would damn me as incompetent.

I don't suppose it's occurred to you that what's going on in this thread is part of a process comparable to the one that made most of those issues go away. Now the issue is men having to "justify" why they should be treated as human beings by the court system following divorce. There is a comparable sort of prejudice driving that issue.

Remember how women needed men the way fish need bicycles? You're hearing the flip side of that here. Are you surprised? Don't be. Goes around, comes around, and all that.

Why was the struggle by women heroic and liberating, while this one is "whining" and "immature?" Is that characterization not just self-centeredness and conceit? It sure sounds like it. You've come a long way, baby. Now comes the other half of the deal. You didn't think it was all going to be one-way, did you?

Beware of posters (Dark Mirage) who can only manage one liners in response to your serious and well fleshed out posts. IOW there is no there, there. Only mirage.
