Equal rights! Amen!
Hell yeah!
Yes!
In fact, men should by default get child custody and women be forced to pay child support.
Single-mothers do a notoriously bad job of raising children. There are even names for children without fathers such as bast@rd.
Men, on the other hand, do a remarkably good job as single parents.
The prisons are full of people who were raised without a father - yet the kids raised without a mother are usually fine.
Right-O!
Much akin to the now antiquated “custom” of ‘tipping’ waitpersons, as well as every Tom, Dick, and Harriet who crosses our path.
And this system is taken advantage of by the IRS, all of gub-mint, employers, the tippees themselves, etc., etc.
A more important development would be to give men the same authority in determining for themselves, whether they will become a parent. Currently the woman can take the decision for the man during a pregnancy, that she will carry to term and encumber him financially against his explicit wishes. While I am adamantly against abortion unless to save the actual life of the mother, fairness dictates a man should be able to perform a legal abortion should the woman decide to deliver, which would release him from financial liability and prohibit his involvement.
Fine by mean, but if the wife stays at home throughout most of her productive working life while the husband puts in the hours to get promoted and a better standard of living, is the woman supposed to start her career at 40 at minimum wage with no work skills???
I didn’t know whether to offer condolences or pop a bottle of champaign when the news came one evening.
I understand there were multiple empty bottles at his and sister's home the next morning!
The sooner the better!
100% agreement.
How is any male making from 20 to 60 expected to give up half of his salary and still survive? The point is if the male can’t work, he can’t pay. If he can’t eat, he can’t work.
It reminds me very much of London’s debtors prisons, where they illogically keep you locked up until you pay. ???
So, look at it this way. If you shack up with a woman who already has a child, and live with her (unmarried) for [x] number of years, you can be declared married and legally liable for the welfare of the child.
However, if you were legally married and paying support, and your former wife remarries, then the new step father is not held liable for the welfare stepchildren regardless of how many year he acts as their ‘actual’ father.
Divorce laws in America are bizarre in the extreme and they are absolutely designed to ‘punish’ the father regardless of the circumstances of the divorce.
No wonder so many people my age are shacking up. This divorce crap scares the schnit out of me.
ESPECIALLY in common property states where he/she is entitled to half the assets.
YES - Please make it 21 years retroactive.
Finally a good idea!
My nephew is being bled to death by his ex wife who was cheating on him. The poor son of a gun is barely making it financially. Anytime he gets an increase in income, she’s in court asking for more and gets it! Pathetic!
Tyrannical courts expanding power by use of worthless parasites and criminals, male or female.
Yes. Since men no longer can find jobs because of overt discrimination, and men are not promoted for working hard, and men can be fired any time because some woman accuses them falsely, and the false accuser is never prosecuted, yes.
Yes because the radical man-hating feminazis want alimony plus the house plus the kids and send the guy out on the street.
Yes.
Hallelujah!!!
