Q: Does it pay for men in America to marry and raise children?

NO!: High divorce rates and biased laws have made marriage a gamble for too many men.
By Jed. H. Abraham

If you're like most men, you're married or you hope to marry some day. You think you deserve to live happily ever after but, if things don't work out that way, you'll get a civilized divorce and move on. You'll stay pals with your ex-wife and you'll see your kids as often as you want.

You have no idea what you're getting into.........................

A post to equalize my last one. :-)

Not only are there many women who *understand*, unfortunately there are many who are subject to the same evil. The number of affected non- custodial parents asking for relief through such as our Ohio Class Action lawsuit includes 3 million female parents! (and that's not counting 2nd wives, grandmothers, aunts...)

Hi Dads! My name is Annie! My heart goes out to all of you
that struggle just to be considered equal in parenting your children.

As a woman, I recognize that in the heat a battle during the
feminist movement, the men thought they could entrust woman
to be custodial parents and they would equitably share the children.
As is usual, men try to fix things and so they did try.

I am ashamed that our gender took advantage of this kindness
 and turned it into a control and money issue. As a woman and
child advocate, I recognize that children need the benefit of the
differences of both genders to truly grow up to be healthy, happy
and stable adults.

Why can't people understand that differences does not mean
better, and differences does not mean unequal? I pity the
male children who grow up in sole custody women households
that only serve to denigrate their importance in family life through
that household. One day these male children will become fathers!

I pity the female children who have grown up in sole custody
women households that only serve to denigrate the importance
of the father in their life. What deafening impact this will have on
female children that grow up wanting a successful family relationship
with a gender that has only been denigrated one's whole life.

This is the true crime of the whole thing. More power to all of
your fathers for not giving up and standing tall. Our future
society needs your strength of perserverance.

God bless!
