I went to school for it in California. Started working in the field in California in 1988. Moved. Worked as a paralegal in New Jersey and Chicago. Left the field in 2012. I was done. Loved researching law. Hated working with lawyers! :confused

I've heard about some fathers fighting for custody too but I'm unaware of the reasons WHY they're fighting. Simply not my 'fight'. I've said before that fair is not always equal and equal isn't always fair. And let's not forget that of many of the parents going through divorce WITH children...

That's the LAST thing the courts WANT. The mother gets custody about 80% of the time. In more than HALF of those custody determinations, the parents agree that the mother should have custody. Many mothers are awarded custody because THEY have been the primary caregiver for the child's...

This is a good list of what MOST courts consider before awarding custody of children. It's not as cut-and-dry as so many would like to think. The age of the children Each parents’ wishes The history of each parent’s relationship with the child(ren), positive or negative Each parent’s ability...

It's not that the courts award "evenly" but that they TRY to award both fairly and logically. Let's use your own situation as an example. You have a baby girl and a child on the way. (If I haven't already said so, CONGRATS on that! A new blessing to come into the world soon! :Happy:) Even...

Actually, no it's not. The current stat is that about 65% of women get custody. But of course...someone like YOU thinks it's automatic. ...which isn't even close to true. But hey...you want to be a victim and you want men to be victims. Fine by me. Just get your facts straight first! Are...

You're right. I was a paralegal for many years, and I can tell you from experience that judges don't like custody cases. They want the custody arrangements to be decided BEFORE the parties get to court. Plus, the custody arrangement is only a 'blueprint' for IF the couple can't agree. It's...

Good job doing your research, Wynona! Again, I'm glad you brought this up. In thinking about this thread last night, I kept digging into the psychology of ALL of what's being discussed here. I came to realize that it's not really about Feminism...or Patriarchy, but what lies underneath. The...

Wynona, I was thinking about you this morning and came to this same conclusion. It reminds me of the tale of the Mexican Fisherman: An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were...

Possible for WHO? And besides, a COMPUTER is a luxury. You willing to give that up? You willing to sacrifice that? My guess is 'no'...even though it's not something you 'need'. And yet, in today's day and age means, not having INTERCOURSE. That is, Penis in Vagina. Penis in HAND is o.k...

No...it's YOU who are trying to make the exceptions into the rule.

YES!!! But it's not only ONE verse. The whole idea of Eph 5:22 is dependent on 5:21: That we are to ''submit" to ONE ANOTHER. Wives to husbands, husbands to wives. Yet, because of the way the verse is written, it's somehow understood that WIVES are supposed to do ALL of the "submitting"...

You mean...kind of like what YOU'RE doing on this thread? "Ohhhh poor men! We're at the hands of that evil Feminism! Feminists are fighting back against our unfair ways! Woe is US!" Talk about victim mentality...sheesh! Besides, I said equal RIGHTS. Start paying attention, Wrangler.

Except men are the one's who STARTED this whole abuse thing. I don't necessarily share the whole "eye-for-an-eye" attitude but I can definitely understand it. Some people only learn NOT to do the wrong thing once the wrong thing is done to THEM. Case in point: Have seen/heard men cheating...

It's not that people have 'forgotten' how to live on one income. It's that economic conditions have made it dang near impossible to do so. More than 2/3rds of the US workforce lives paycheck to paycheck. That means that even dual income couples struggle to meet their financial...

Obviously not *my* lingo, since I just told you that feminism is about equal RIGHTS. If a man doesn't want to be publicly abused, don't publicly abuse women. You don't like that chauvinism is NOW being displayed toward men? Then don't display it toward women. You don't like the idea that...

:Laughingoutloud: Sorry...I don't know WHY that struck me as so funny this morning! I have a few 'loose' ideas. As I've mentioned before, I don't believe that Patriarchy was WORLDWIDE way back when. Scientific evidence has shown otherwise. I think I brought up that before the first word of...

No, not science. Or objective measure. More like subjective measure. I've never witnessed a murder, but does that mean that murder doesn't happen all THAT often? Or at ALL? From my understanding, Feminism is a philosophy or an ideology, not a science, and no....NOT impervious to facts...

I'd agree that sexism, disrespect and hate are rising. I'd DISagree that all this angst is JUST toward MEN. Wynona, you said in your previous post on this page that when you got your laptop, you found sites like MGTOW and a "feminist blog with content so hateful against men that I have never...

And you think that because you haven't seen it in public lately, it means that abuse, chauvinism and outright sexist disrespect and hate are on the decline? The problem with the whole idea of the WOMAN doing the submitting is well...the problem! The original texts do NOT say "Wives submit to...
