Cotter,
90% of children post seperation were living with the mother. I tend to think there is a gender issue there, but you are saying that "women and children" should be given a "fair go".

The laws were introduced under the pretence of "no child should live in poverty", now resulting in more children living on welfare and in poverty than ever before.

One giant feminist stuff up.

yes, well, Vanna, blame those feminists. If only women understood their inferior status and remained in the kitchen none of this would have happened. Laughing all the way to comedy factory.

Melaine Philips wrote a commentery on Saying the Unsayable, in which she said that efforts to lift single mothers out of poverty just results in greater numbers of them.

So this results in increasing cost to the taxpayer.

James the solo mum thing bothers me... they aren’t a stable group. Every few seconds a female becomes a solo mother while another becomes a non-solo mother.

How does the woman who a minute ago was considered all good and stat-free suddenly become a bad mother? By the time the stats have been published half of the stat makers no longer fit the criteria.

I will admit now I do not understand stats and am inclined to overthink everything.

Cotter,
Well we have never heard from feminists what they would think of 90% of children post seperation living with their father.

I think they would oppose it, so the Family Law system becomes one of taking children from a parent because of the gender of that parent, combined with feminist villification and denigration of males and fathers, combined with solicitors taking as much money from anyone they can

BTW, most kitchens seem to have an automatic dish washer (male invention), and open a women's magazine and you will find page after page of receipes (in amongst the diet pages).

Jewely, stats are to be taken with a huge grain of salt, firstly when stats are published they are already out of date, secondly there are perhaps thousands of different ways of adding.

The methods of mathmatics depends very much on what certian people want to show. Data can be added, excluded, extrapolated, estimated, or not even collected.

have a look around this website
