Leave it to Beaver marathon. ..or are just stuck in the 60's...sounds exactly like the bunch of ridiculous stereotypes most feminists deplore.

Of course none of this explains why the residential parent can deny visitation while if the non custodial withholds support for that reason the state will prosecute.

All that said, I dealt with my ex's shitty parenting. Consoled my son and tried to keep him from hating her. Begged and explored legal action (to which I was told I was pissing in the wind) for residential custody to her denial because she was hooked on my $8k per year, spending it on everything but my son. Until one set of particularly troubling parental disasters led to me giving the ultimatum of getting custody or reporting her to the police. He moved in with me, and even though she had a higher income than me, the only additional demand I made was a court entry to adjust my support to zero and residential custody to me. He is 24 now, at Christmas this year he told me that he believes I changed the outcome of his life by taking custody. .He visited her but stayed with me the entire 3 weeks. ..really only visited her because I pretty much insisted.

You know what that makes me think of? Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #51

Um, you must have me confused with someone else Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #53

This is a fake argument promoted by the men's "rights" groups... Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #54

So are you disputing that men get raped Prophet 451 Mar 2014 #55

I'm not disputing it. Don't need to. Michael Kimmel has already debunked it. Sarah Ibarruri Mar 2014 #56

I missed the mention of DU males in the OP? Starry Messenger Feb 2014 #4

did you mention that this was, in no way, a slam of DU males? Old and In the Way Feb 2014 #5

I'm not the OP, but why should she? Starry Messenger Feb 2014 #6

Easy answer. Old and In the Way Feb 2014 #7

Men ARE in trouble in one aspect-education. ErikJ Mar 2014 #24

Your graph comes from a blogger for a RW think tank. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #27

Youre right. Got it from Google images. But others confirm it. ErikJ Mar 2014 #31

And now you're sourcing images from a blogger who posts on an anti-woman hate site. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #33

I just get them from google images. But they were apparently sourced from ErikJ Mar 2014 #34

Knock it off. The problem isn't that you're a dude, it's that you're posting RW and MRA bullshit. LeftyMom Mar 2014 #35

I was aware of this trend 10 years ago. Nothing new. Started in the 1980's. ErikJ Mar 2014 #36

And yet, with all that extra education, women still make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. Squinch Mar 2014 #41

That can't possibly be the reason women are more likely to pursue education, LeftyMom Mar 2014 #45

^^^^^^^^This! Squinch Mar 2014 #46

Instead of repeating myself, I'll just refer you to my post Starry Messenger Mar 2014 #39

I'm not sure how that is responsive to the violent and abusive threats Starry Messenger Mar 2014 #32
