ORIGINAL: Darcyandthedark How can someone who admits to being a male supremist champion equal rights? Peace the.dark. Ohhhhhh dark you beautiful woman you! Thank you! I was just wondering the very same thing. Also, a few other thoughts that entered my head while reading. Why is this not in "off topic" being my first thought. Then, unless science has done something I am not aware of, a man is still needed to create sperm. So even the harshest of lesbian feminazi's need at least a veddy small part of a man if they want to procreate. As far as parental rights. It's something that has been near and dear to my heart this last year with my son and his two little ones. Fortunately the system has changed a great deal in the last 20 years. The biggest hurdle for many men is money. My son had to buy another house, furnish it, begin paying a very substancial part of his paycheck towards child support, hire a very expensive attorney and give her a nice fat retainer fee (which of course disappeared very quickly, requiring more and more and......so on ) try to keep his old used vehicle runninng while his ex continued to drive the BMW. All the while she was always calling him and trying to get him to pay for other things like car repair, things for her house, day care, pre-school, etc. And as most women do, using the guilt trip crap of "if you love your kids you would do this". In the meantime her lover was sleeping in the house he bought and spent countless hours restoring, in the bed he bought....etc etc. And she was always driving 100+ miles to spend time with this guy, in his hometown, with two little boys. My son had no way of knowing if the new environment was a safe one for them. Now my son being the hard working guy he is, takes the approach of anything for my kids and does not begrudge the child support and some of the extra financial stuff beyond what the court ordered. He would work two jobs if that is what it took, he actually does three. His main concern is the safety and wellbeing of two little ones. It has been a struggle, and an expensive one, but well worth it. My advise to all men in his situation. Work your ass off to have the finances, get a damned good attorney, keep your head and don't do anything stupid that will cause you problems in court. Understand that EVERYTHING you do can, and probably will, be used against you. Document, document, document. Above all, do everything possible to maintain a working relationship with the ex, even if she makes it hard as hell.....it is for the children, not you and not her. It does pay off in the long run.
