So why does society enforce child support when due from men, but not when due from women? Some sort of collectivized Oedipal guilt? Fear of feminists? Fear of women in general?

I'm bookmarking this thread, and would sincerely appreciate some well thought out answers and/or speculation.

Cultural inertia. Men are domestic providers; women are domestic executives. Of course, those roles have vastly expanded for women; their options are now limitless. However, domestically, men are still limited to being providers.

Why? Because men don't have the collective impetus for change that women have had in the last half a century. We're passive partners in this society in many ways, simply beasts of burden here to pay the bills and do the heavy lifting. We accept our second-place role in the home because it is tradition.

The DA here intercepted my exwife's federal refund check to pay back child support she owed me.

I'd love to give you a well thought out answer..but all you'll get from me is how socialist women have ruined this country. Men are not only afraid of women now, but confused. The left has presented us with huge double standards..equal but superiour...equal but victimized, we hate men but we'll sue to be just like them....the list goes on.
