Hi Chuck. Family Court reform is necessary to improve the situation, and Shared Parenting policy. This can only be achieved by having family court reform organizations which hire professional experts in the field to campaign for such things. Such as what Fathers & Families already does.

That's a good point, Tyrael, I'd also suggest that when the referendum takes place on the alterations to the voting system next year we all get out there and make sure we vote for change. The further the currentt 2-party system can be broken down, the more chance there is for the voices of reason to be heard. Although no political pundit, so far with the reading I've been doing, I'm starting to see glimmers of a pattern emerging driven largely by not Political Correcteness, as it has been marketed, but by Political Expediency. It's all part and parcel, to me.

I'm not sure if the original post has been edited, but I'm struggling something rotten, to find anything wrong with it, as it stands. If a guy can't have a rant about events concerning women here, where can he?

A belated welcome........

This has been a fun thread. Welcome Chuck, though I think I've already seen you around a bit, delayed actions are better then no actions at all in some cases.

This being one of them.

As for the original poll and question at hand, I think your idea is brilliant. (Short of the bitch remark which has skyrocketed this thread into a freakishly entertaining back-and-forth)

To hell with the female counterpart of baby-making receiving untaxed dollars from my taxed paycheck.

(Notice the use of "female counterpart of baby-making" as a synonymous term for "Bitch") I love loopholes and gray areas.

Cheers.

Thankgs guys, this has been a fun debut, however..

... is true... BUT Marx has a perfect right to worry that I may have been a previous poster under a new nom-de-plume, and in all fairness I did not read the rules and FAQ properly before diving in and posting like a mad puppy!

You see, I was a bit over-excited at having found evidence of an MRM, and when flushed, tend to be a bit full of myself, hence the extremity of my noob upstarty-ness. Although I have to let stand the comments about how much fun the exchange was, having done some more reading and trawling, I feel morally obliged to notice and regret that I may have treated Marx with a teeny bit less respect and consideration than I now realise his work and contributions merit. I did rather make the mistake of enjoying an opportunity to be gleefully sarcastic and smart-arsed, which lets face it, is not the best way to make friends and influence people.

So, Marx; completely without sarcasm, irony, or even crossed fingers, I apologise for kicking off my presence on this forum with a post laden with derogatory terms. I also humbly recognise your stellar staus and beg your forgiveness. Can I have a coffee, black, one, and a bun, please?

if only men realised that new age wimyn are brides of prey ( of the vulture kind) and so the guys with early acumen like myself eschewed their com ons and hopeless unilateral contracts; I am married now but my vast experience with their lying litigious mindset over the years enabled me to winnow the field - there is a handful of gems in every mountain of dross

All right, smug bastard..... lol. Having said that, my (Anti marriage) GF is doing well so far. Gotta say, "Brides of Prey"... superb title for a documentary, perhaps presented in the style of (or even by? - who knows!) David Attenborough.....
