Najida makes some good points. Saw she conceded the laws favor women mentioning the pendalum of law siding with men decades ago and with women now. I wager we both have something in common and have been raked through the coals by such laws. For a guy, it makes you bitter against American women who use the system unfairly to make you pay either fincancially or out of revenge. I have had sexual harrasment lawsuits at work, despite telling every female hired I do not date staff and keep my eyes to myself, let alone other body parts :) I had an ex who kept bringing me to court (four times) for custody when the state caught up to her on not paying a measly $25 bucks a week when the women makes $40k a year. Each time she claimed I was either physically abusing my son, or threatened her life, on and on and on. We got to get over the bitterness of it and get on to enjoyment of life. It’s not fair but we are men and we have free will and choices to make.

Except that the "pendulum" of the law decades ago siding with men is not true. Go down to your local county seat and look at property records, and divorce records.

A divorce then had to have a cause and it had to be proved in front of a court of record, unlike "family courts", legislative tribunals. This placed women on exactly the same level of field as men.

And, if the woman proved her case, the common law that governed the proceeding then actually was harder on a man. But the allegations had to be proved.

Go ahead. Go down and check the records.

I actually love women, but I know the difference between a hawk and a handsaw, and I know which end wags and which end bites.
