An article this badly written does not deserve more than a skim.

I finally gleaned that he was engaging in a hunger strike to protest having to support his daughter, whom he had abandoned. A court ordered him to support her. Had he not left her, the court would never have gotten involved.

It's very much like asking a polar bear to help you divide a seal. Stay married, and the court doesn't get into it.

The assault on a man's life typically begins with a mother who decides to "liberate" herself from marriage, simply dealing a father out of his own personal and family life. The process is exceptionally easy. The government has been dedicated to helping women "liberate" themselves from marriage for decades.

This appears to imply that she walked out on him for no good reason, took the kids, and socked him with the child support. If this was so, it's true the article ought to say so directly. But an outrage is an outrage no matter how horrid the prose.

ChemistCat, Perhaps you could consider reading before making moral pronouncements? Here is your synopsis:

I finally gleaned that he was engaging in a hunger strike to protest having to support his daughter, whom he had abandoned. A court ordered him to support her. Had he not left her, the court would never have gotten involved.

Here is the relevant paragraph from the article:

Dr. Chang's experience is one that has been repeated many times across the country over the past fifteen years. Sheriff's deputies literally kicked in the door to his apartment and arrested him at gunpoint - weeks after he had made necessary payments. Employees at the Middlesex County Child Support Department had refused to help weeks earlier after his employer had missed a child support payment and miscalculated another. His employer is charged with making payments after deducting them from his pay, a common practice since the early 1990s. Dr. Chang points out that his employer is generally cooperative with the agency, but had made errors after an end-of-year payroll conversion. He contacted the child support agency and sent the money himself, but that didn't stop the violent enforcement action weeks later.

Where do you get any sense that Dr. Chang abandoned his daughter?

Dr. Chang is protesting the Jack Booted Thug tactics of a police state that punishes him after he has done the right thing.

From your other posts, I expect better. This issue has been so well used by the OldDominantLiberalMedia to beat up men, that I might expect people to be taken in by all the propaganda, I suppose.

You seem to forget that MOST of the time is the women who LEAVE the men. While using the courts to make the men into slaves in EVERY SENSE of the word.

Go whine somewhere else.
