So your solution to the “perceived” inequalities women faced is to …what, subjugate men? Your arguments largely fail to addres the problem. Rather, you are simply trying to make a claim that woman have it worst and so men should be ignored.

“Men and women are not equal and what is wrong with the laws reflecting that?”

I’m betting you’re a feminist. Because this sounds an awful lot like the feminist equality I keep hearing about. Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.

So you believe the solution is to reverse the trend? Just because you feel women have been historically slighted, it is ok for women to subjugate men and men have no right to complain? Is this the feminist equality I keep hearing about?

“deal with your problems instead of running away to the mountains for heavens sake”

Funny, that’s what they are doing and you’re having no sympathy for them and calling them whiners. A bit of damned if you do, damned if you don’t deal here.

“Maybe you would negotiate with your ex instead of running away”

How can one negotiate when one side holds all the cards? What does a man have to negotiate with, she already has everything she wants handed to her by the courts.

And I’m curious, what does any of tat have to do with alimony or jail?

“we are functional parents, not ATM machines.”

Don’t ignore the first part of that slogan in order to object to the second. The objection isn’t to the child support so much as being relegated to only BEING child support, nothing more. These men want to be parents, and they are being told the only thing they allowed do to be parent is pay, and they are being told this even before custody has officially been decided. Imagine for a minute that your kids were given to their father, out of hand, and the only thing you were allowed to do to be a parent to those children was to give money to their father, so HE could spend it on them. Imagine how that would feel. But that’s ok right, men shouldn’t be allowed to complain, just pay for “the child”, shut up and hide under a rock.

“if you cant afford it…DON’T DO IT!”

Shouldn’t this apply to the woman who choose to have a baby with unwilling fathers? After all, sex isn’t required to lead to parenthood, there are many options in between for women (not men), so, for a woman, becoming a parent is a choice. And because men DON”T have those same options, telling MEN not to do it is kind of pointless, it’s not like they have a choice anyways.
