A good and well informed article. However rather than asking for more people to stand up for men, we simply need to get rid of bad laws.
• What is the reasoning for post-divorce spousal support laws? Don’t we live in an age of equality when everyone has rights that exist with commensurate responsibilities?
• Often deciding who gets custody of the children can be a judgement of Solomon, but when told that you miss out (except for every second weekend) and then get the bill for their full maintenance, it does seem extra harsh. Why not even out the suffering by changing the law such that whomever wins custody also get the bills, or at least proportional to how much custody time they get.
• People who go to court claiming they have been bullied, or discriminated against, or sexually harassed, often get taxpayer funded legal aid. This creates a ‘nothing to lose’ environment for the claimant, no matter who weak their case may be. Why not abolish all legal aid except for serious criminal prosecutions, leaving it to legal firms to represent clients for a percentage of the damages?
