I wasn't dodging your question

Oh good. Then perhaps you'll answer it. I asked you why you reflexibly oppose a system in which the woman would not always be certain she would win.

That you are not fond of a "men's rights movement" doesn't really answer that. Suppose we had a children's rights movement instead, and it started agitating for a system in which the woman would not always win. Would you oppose that as well?

I reflexibly oppose a system which would pit men against women even more so than the current one does. I suspect that the men's rights movement could actually destroy the remains of the institution of marriage that the women's movement has not already destroyed.

As much as I might sympathize with the injustices faced by some men in divorce proceedings, I sense that what is motivating the men's movement is retribution, and not a concern about posterity, or about women, in particular.
