What is your solution then?

I'm sure the problem is with us somehow. :) Logic is a weapon of dem evil feministas !

MRA sites are extremist by definition. Even the SPLC classifies them as hate groups.

Oh my goodness! Where ARE my scissors?

Thank you for your support then!

Um no. I have unfortunately read enough MRA sites to see the common denominator: the men want sole custody because they think (ha ha) that it will be easier for them to raise the children themselves than to help with child support. I read post after post after post in which the guys admit that they want to hurt

What the hell are you talking about? I applied for and graduated from a STEM program. Over 20 years ago! Women are making graduating from universities in the programs of their interests and the number of female scientists and engineers is rising to reflect that trend.

Seems to me that there is a problem with the men then ........

That is not what I said. Not at all. I said that these women should call the bluff of their ex-husbands who supposedly want sole custody of the children. These "men" will realize exactly how much is involved and will want to get out of post-haste. These men are not "bad" at raising children, they don't want to

"I actually know several men who don't have any custody at all...'

No, actually it isn't logical at all. There are few things in life that anyone can accurately predict. It sounds to me that you are saying (and please do correct me, I hope I'm wrong) that these guys don't want to take the risk that their ventures will be successful.

I think fathers are incapable of raising children? Really? Not sure where you got that from.

How ridiculous. Do you similarly sit back in defeat when it comes to pay-raise time? "I won't get a pay raise or a promotion so I won't even ask, oh boo hoo hoo." Show some gumption. If you want something you need to work for it and earn it. That is how life works in general.

How can that be? The system was set up by men. Women USED to receive the children by default. Now, it is joint custody by default unless there are extenuating circumstances for either parent.

"In such a case your second to last sentence would not help whatsoever." People need to focus on themselves and improving themselves instead of looking for outside validation from others. When my friends and I go out for example, we like to dress up and try out new makeup even though we are not "looking" for

You DO realize that a lot of these "messages" from men on OKCupid consist of Dick Pic's and insults? Quantity does not equal Quality.

I don't hate men, I love men! Married one in fact.

Who cares? I'm not in the market to buy so why should I, or any other woman, listen to a sales pitch?

You don't know what you are talking about.

Well, an Episcopal church in my diocese performed at least one same-sex wedding this year. *shrugs*
