As a lawyer, you shouldn't be surprised that men, confronted with a playing field stacked heavily against them, are less willing to be aggressive - at least those not so highly placed as to be above the law. Did you hear about the woman who saved some man's sperm from oral sex, impregnated herself, and got a court to force the man to pay child support?

I don't think it's that, so much as an impression that a woman lawyer might look down upon them, purely in terms of social status. I mean, look at this woman in the article which started this thread. It's not that she isn't getting attention from men. She is. It's just that the attention she's getting she feels is BENEATH her.

On another thread a while back, a guy mentioned a girl he was seeing whom he once caught retrieving his used condom for that purpose.

He then started carrying around a small bottle of hot sauce and putting some in the condom when he tossed it in the bathroom trash

When he heard the screaming start, he put on his pants and left

No I did not and that is disgusting. I think there is a HUGE problem with the way that men are treated in the courts of this country overall. Situations like this, as well as having to support children that are not theirs--there are several cases I have heard of where the women screwed around, got pregnant, didn't tell their husbands that the child was not theirs and when the husbands found out and divorced them, the courts forced the men to pay for the children even though they were not theirs. That is nothing but wrong and I can certainly see where men would be hesitant to trust women and the courts in this day and age.
