Men need to start expecting to have atleast half of the child-rearing duties. Most men start WORKING HARDER and allowing their wife to slack when it comes to work once the first baby is born. So when she divorces the man, he is turned into a "ATM" that gets to see his kids every other weekend if he's lucky. FOrget that, men should have their kids half the time, but make sure you had your kids half the time BEFORE the divorce as well, because the judge is just going to continue what was going on while you 2 were married. So if you were working 60 hours a week while she was coasting at home watching the kids, the judge is just going to continue that. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 20453241 United States 10/01/2016 12:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My mother was a conservative member of the John Birch Society, a follower of Ayn Rand, and a rabid anti-communist, and anti-feminist. However, this didn't influence the way she lived her personal life. By the time I was an adult, I confronted her over the issue. I said that her family values were pure communism, and she didn't even try to argue about it. She admitted it immediately, as if she was always aware of it. I, the boy, had to do all the housework, including mostly her housework. My sisters didn't have to do any housework. My mother always claimed she couldn't afford to buy me a guitar, but she bought my sister a horse. She always encouraged my sisters to pursue any interest, and paid for it. She gave me no such choices, but insisted that I needed to study law or medicine, and I would have to support her in her old age. She not only didn't help me with anything, she encumbered me with extra burdens, claiming that they would toughen me up. Eventually, she bought my sisters houses, when they came of age. They didn't have to do anything in return. She would allow me to stay at the farm from time to time, but I had to work from dawn to sunset for the privilege. Whenever there was a family emergency of some sort, she would call upon me to fix it, drop whatever I was doing, and rush to the rescue. This burden of family duties and responsibilities from the time I was a small child kept me out of the career competition with my peers. I had neither the time nor the resources to explore and develop my own talents. And it was a set up. My mother always argued that girls need resources, and boys need to toughen up and work. From those according to their supposed ability and to those according to their presumed need. All the resources and life choices of my family went to my sisters while my purpose was defined as laborer, risk taker, and generator of resources. This is the way our society has been set up too. Women are always perceived as needing more resources and choices, while men are always perceived as not doing enough to provide them. Women have shelters everywhere. Men have almost none. I think my mother was absorbing the zeitgeist of modern feminism and reflecting it in her family life, despite her opposite political beliefs. |

I hope you have since bought one, and learned. Sometimes the only rational I can find about what we have experienced, is that we can choose not to do that to our kids, and break an unbalanced cycle. The real power of Women is what you, as men give them. Bam. *drops mic |
