Spare me the lectures, John O.

Women are raped by men, figuratively and in other ways.

One of the many people I spent Christmas with was a woman I've known ALL my adult life, whose husband cheated on her and lost EVERYTHING they owned. She and her four children had to move into an apartment, and she, a stay-at-home mom all her life, had to go to work full-time. She and her husband divorced. The children, who are teenagers, don't speak to him at their won choosing they are so angry. I've known the husband since we were children, and love him dearly. I don't know what he was thinking, but they lost EVERYTHING. He lost, his children lost and his wife lost.

Four years ago, one of the prettiest women I know, (who worked part time), with two of the most adorable boys you ever did see, woke up one morning to find her husband gone and bank accounts with thousands of dollars, cleaned out. Her father stepped in to give her a hand as the husband predicted he would. She lost everything but her house.

Women risk big time when they marry too. They too can lose it all.

And we haven even touched upon the single men who leave pregnant women in the lurch and REFUSE to pay child-support. Or women who are physically raped and stalked by men and what it costs them. The list goes on and on.

As I said previously, both men and women can come out the losers because of their relationships with one another, and both deserve our support, love and empathy.

You are concerned ONLY about men and have displayed absolutely NO sympathy for women. Your comments about women reveal just the kind of man you are, and you sir are neither FAIR or a gentleman.

Some (a small percentage)women are indeed raped by some men. Almost every man in divorce or child custody cases gets raped by the court system. It's evil on both sides. (And one sin does not justify the other)

... (cheating husband stories)...

I can trade you stories all day long. Bet I can come up with more men who lost everything than you can women. I wouldn't even have to leave this site to get 50 or more. But that would be counter-productive.

I've always agreed with this

You are concerned ONLY about men and have displayed absolutely NO sympathy for women. Your comments about women reveal just the kind of man you are, and you sir are neither FAIR or a gentleman.

Now this is where I lose you. How have I shown sympathy only for men and what kind of comments about women have I made that make me unfair and ungentlemanly. Have I attacked anyone on this thread? Have I used foul language? Have I done anything but speak what I see as the truth?

Also why do you keep attacking me (as in the above paragraph) but not telling me why you are attacking? TAadams8591, I know that you've been hurt. But I'm not the one that did it.
