"Instead of griping about it, why don't you go to the courts, explain the situation and work out a payment plan until you are employed."
I've seen men try that, and they were refused. They were
to pay by the order, on time, regardless of circumstances.
It can take a long time to have alimony/support adjusted
through the courts. The men get this treatment, because
feminist minded women whine incessantly to the judicial,
the legislative and to feminazi law professors who have
much control over members of both as they graduate.
The root of the problem is caused by skewed societal
attitudes, which are are caused by propaganda from
the feminist left. The same propaganda goes to Republicans
with a false conservative twist. The root of the
problem will begin to die in a few days as feminist
lies of the oldest kind are exposed with facts to the
general public.
Hmmm. This thread is now over 300 posts, and feminist
replies can't help but be transparent to conservatives who
are now learning. :-)

Right you are!
Only with the wildest spin can anything the gender feminists say be construed as conservative.
I do find Christina Hoff Sommers helpful though, even though she calls herself a (equity) feminist. I thoroughly enjoyed "Who Stole Feminism." She shows how feminism was hijacked.
But lately I've been thinking that maybe the whole concept is flawed. Maybe the "conservative" male apologists of feminism are like those liberals who insist that the Soviet Union fell only because the system was mismanaged and are incapable of admitting that the whole concept was flawed and doomed to fail from the very start.
Look at what happened after the Great American Cultural Revolution of the 60s with all the "culture change" and social experimentation:
- - illegitimacy increased by 500% (See Paul Gigot, Wall Street Journal, March 15, 1999)
- - divorce increased by 250% (See: "Welfare Reform and a More Civil Society: Fathers and Faith as Community Building Blocks," Hudson Institute, 1990
- -violent crime rose 600% (Ibid).
- -and the number of families without fathers increased from 17% to 38% (up to 90% in inner cities) (Ibid).
- -Child abuse rose 2,300% (US DHHS)
- -illegal drug use rose 6,000% (National Inst on Drug Abuse).
--education outcomes in America sank to last place (49th) in the industrial world even as we outspent every other nation per child ("Kids Who Kill" by Mike Huckabee).
This whole disaster very well could be attributed to our tampering with age-old time-proven traditions!
Peronally, I have had it with social experimentation of any kind. Bring back heterosexual marriage for life, esp when kids are involved--no matter how many problems are involved. And bring back Judeo-Christian religion and values. They were NOT the cause of all our problems as liberal eggheads believe. They could be our only salvation in the end.
