"Women have "choices" Men have responsibilities"

"Bill that could end permanent alimony in Florida causes division between men's and women's groups"
“What did the father do?” said women’s advocate and co-founder of Families Against Court Travesties Adele Guadalupe. “He contributed his sperm. The mother carried the baby for nine months. The mother had the nausea and threw up, probably had to give up her job. The mother had to give birth, the mother has to breastfeed the child. All of the sudden, the mother counts for nothing and the father has a 50-percent right to this child when it’s young? It goes against nature. It goes against justice. It goes against everything we have been brought up to believe.”

We can presume the father contributed something toward the kid's welfare.

Feminism is merely the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Left, otherwise, we wouldn't have this discussion.

A FB friend once told me that feminists and men's rights activists deserve one another, and I think that's about right.

I was, unfortunately, involved with the MRAs for about a year decades ago. Their ranks are full of men who were either in or separated from lousy relationships with women. As I got to know these men, I stopped believing that their relationship problems with women were the result of political issues.

Takes two to tango.

Feminists and MRAs are invariably people who are lousy at getting along with another person of the opposite sex.

Still, I'm glad there are MRAs. I do believe that women are favored by the justice system with regard to divorce. It's wrong, and the existence of MRAs at least creates a needed resistance.

Splitting custody 50/50 could end child support in many situations, because fathers would have just as much time with their children as mothers.

Leaving aside the alimony issue which is generally punitive on the father and NOT the mother, which I agree is something that should be addressed....

While this 'sounds' fair from the viewpoint of the parents, it is a terrible position for the children. Speaking as a divorced mom and having had to deal with this, the first consideration should be for the stability of the child's life.

A 50/50 split is really quite impossible. Think of the logistics. Splitting residence between two homes. What if one parent has moved to another city or even another State. What about school, friends, family pets. Clothing, favorite toys, places to play and go visit.

Is it going to be three days a week at dad's, three days a week at mom's and sunday at where? Every other month. 6 months and 6 months. What about Leap Year!!!!

Then there is the issue of when the parent's can't act like adults and pit the children against the other parent. Think of this stress on the child. Then throw in new partners for the parents so the kid has to deal with Dad, whom mom hates, but also the new wife/girlfriend's children who the kid now has to associate with..... on a 50/50 basis.

These people can be so incredibly selfish in thinking only of themselves and their own needs. The fighting will never end if one person thinks they are only getting 48% of the child. Like a loaf of bread or something.

Woman who use their biology against men are really just nasty people. It's not my fault that I was born a man and you can carry children to term. I'm sure if men had a uterus and ovaries they too would be happy to do so, but we don't, so stop using it against us. How fucking obvious does that have to be?

Misandry is serious business. Don't believe me? Look at how family court treats men in many cases of custody, child visitation, alimony, child payments, etc. Granted, people have issues and I can respect that, but the levels of male hate in media and in the courts has always been suspect to me.

The court system with respect to family law is already mired in aggrieved agitation from both sides, the courts don't help when they are already biased towards mothers. I have multitudes of friends who have gone through this process only to hear the horror stories they've undergone.

And it goes with having sole choice over something that would drastically affect his life too, you stupid entitled twat.
