Then don't, McCackie.

>>It is not worth getting married any more<<

That will make two people happier than they would otherwise be.

Seriously though, there is a great deal of hot air on this topic, and very little unbiased, disinterested commentary or statistics. To depict all women as being predatory, greedy and callous, and the court system as implacably biased against men, is as hollow and ridiculous as claiming that all men are oppressed, powerless and disadvantaged.

But hey, if venting against the world in an aimless fashion helps justify your victimhood and massage your apparent low self-esteem, go for it. Just don't expect too much sympathy.

Incidentally, onthebeach, would the dadsindistress organization be referring punters to Mr West's seminars, by any chance?

My, that would be an amazing coincidence, wouldn't it.

Pericles, "Incidentally, onthebeach, would the dadsindistress organization be referring punters to Mr West's seminars, by any chance?"

Not so much a coincidence considering there would be few providers.

What alternatives do you suggest to add to the list? Always happy to have more added.

I sense Dog in the Manger in your reply and in some others too. That 'punter' slur for instance is unnecessary.

However, most reasonable people would recognise that men's health initiatives such 'Movember' supported by Beyond Blue's suicide prevention initiative are sorely needed. -Especially in the country where economic and seasonal effects are creating a lot of stress.

A worthwhile article. Of particular value is the well researched fact, known for many years but generally unacknowledged by women, that "The care of boys is generally more difficult and therefore more likely to go wrong... Since most of the growth of the human brain takes place after birth, some early environmental stressors could lead to disadvantage for boys being "wired in"....in boys the formation of secure attachment to a caregiver is more subject than in girls to parental unavailability, insensitivity, or depression."
Rhosty, Has been, JKJ, runner, onthebeach, and McCackle, you say it well. Comments by the females indicate the magnitude of the problem facing men--not only fathers, in a society where women have taken over the education of our boys in the misguided belief that boys and girls do not have vastly different requirements in all aspects of upbringing.

Of course "then don't". Lets cripple the major reason for a large chunk of the most productive people in their most productive time from bothering. More unintended consequences by the experts in the unintended. It is cheap just looking after oneself.

In many ways the anti-male hysteria is a jizya, a vengeful Tax.
