    Wasn't that a lie? But, considering your PRESENT thread, abuses are common to both genders, in marriage as well as post-marriage. Inequality in divorce is usually the result of punitive action for blatant wrongdoing or who hires the best lawyer. As my son was told, "Be careful who you marry."

    I will honestly say that it taught me something I did not know! I really had no idea what portion of the population was taking advantage of the Stafford loan. That is very encouraging news! I'm also aware that the engineering and medical field in the United States are really growing.
    Ironically enough the college educated graduate is unlikely to be a crucial part of America's most influential and economically booming industry presently.
    The good thing about the housing crash is it relatively gently restructured our lending and borrowing practices in a way that forced Americans to live more within their means. Honestly in the long haul no one was really terribly hurt, it was an uncomfortable growing pain that was unavoidable.

    I think gender is VERY much an obstacle in many places in the world.
    I personally have never felt my gender as an American woman kept me from pursuing my dreams. Nothing is completely out of reach for today's American woman. Women can be anything, even men.
    I know the biological, maternal, emotional nature of women. While I believe each gender has proven either can excel or succeed in any capacity, I also believe certain things or jobs or characteristics definitely have gender trends.
    There are a few dad homemakers...
    I would NOT want to be married to one...

    Any support for this nonsense?

    Overall men suffer far worse than women as a result of divorce.

    Women overwhelmingly end up with most of the property and money and the children after they get divorced. Men's standard of living drops while women's remain stable. It is no surprise that most divorces are filed by women.

    It is also no coincidence that the demographic with the highest suicide rate is divorced men.

    This is also why more and more men are refusing to get married or even cohabitate with women and more men are demanding paternity tests while women are fighting to gain child support from men who such tests prove are not the father.

    If you are a man the odds are that after some years of marriage she will kick you out, file for divorce ( in many cases starting the process with a fraudulent domestic violence charge ). Then you lose the house the car and the family while she brings in another man to sleep in your bed and raise your kids who you still have to support.

    Not the narrative you paint but far more accurate and common.

    Here's a hint. Find out what psychological violence is, and stop perpetrating it. There are billions of good men out there.

    Lol, absolutely none!
    Joint custody is usually given to both parents of they desire it...unless one parent is unfit.
    Property tends to be divided fairly in court.
    Neither spouse can be kicked out of a house they both own or share cost of typically.
    Fraudulent charges can be addressed by and punished by the court.

    Actually wrong.


    Custody almost always favors the mother.

    Property is usually divided with the kids in mind meaning once again the woman ends up with most of it.

    Anyone can be kicked out with a simple accusation of domestic violence and although the courts CAN address fraudulent accusations they almost never do.


    Women know this and use all of it resulting in far greater loss for men

    I see you have "carved in stone" idea of what masculine and feminine mean.........that is the easiest, safest way to go.....

    Luckily there are men and women who don't need so much "safety", or need to take the easiest way out....

    That has not been my observation.
    Sweeping generalizations about women duping men. What does that say about the man she duped?

    Hey, I know what I am attracted to! I have no issue if my preferences or tastes are not shared.
    I do like a man who makes me feel protected, cared for, safe. I love that! And I think my husband loves the way I nurture him, fuss over him when he is sick, and my generous affection. He holds my door and takes out the trash and suffers through any activity I ask him to. I make snacks and sit down and watch the Dawgs every Saturday.
    I started dating him at 15 and I frequently tell him how lucky I am be his wife and that he my baby daddy!! Haha.
    He is our rock and I profoundly respect him:)

    I simply gave my opinion.
    It doesn't offend me at all if others disagree or have different tastes.
