I Am An Mra

News just in;

"Yes avfm ( a voice for men) is strongly opposed to marriage because the institution of marriage is nothing more than slavery for men. The same can be said for.having children. Father a child in this gynocentric feminist culture is about as smart as playing ba<x>seball with a live grenade. Marriage is worse. Most MRAs who aren't already married vow to never do so. This is why MRAs and MGTOWs are so close. We share that same philosophy."

This kind of puerile crap is exactly why the MRA is a hate group. It attacks fathers and marriage. What exactly does it stand for in a positive way, I wonder?

What dante (ambi) knows but isn't telling is that most fathers can't afford to "ask" for custody.
Lets look the fact that a parent should has to ask to be a part of their child's life. I wonder if feminists would feel the same indifference if society started giving the children to fathers instead of the mothers and the mothers had to "ask" to see their kids. Oh. Wait. We did that in the past and the feminists got really upset about it but instead of asking for equal parenting they implemented the tender years doctrine.

The act of "asking" to be a part of the child's llife cost 10s of thousands of dollars. Most men who have.just lost everything he owns and is forced to pay 1/2 to 2/3s of his income to the woman that has just taken everything he owns can't afford to to spend the thousands of dollars to "ask" the court to be a parent. So most men don't even try. They accept what the courts give them because they have no way to fight (I mean ask) for equal treatment.
At the vertically start dantes statistic is already looking like just more feminist deception.
Now let look at the fact that she freely admits that 30% of fathers who "ask" for shared custody don't get it. While this figure doesn't seem to bother dante it does me.

Now lets look at what what shared custody means. Shared custody means dad gets the kid every other weekend, every other holiday and a couple of weeks during the summer.
THIS ISN'T SHARED PARENTING. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
We demand that custody hearing start from the basis that custody is to be 50/50 unless the parents agree to a different arrangement or that one parent can be PROVEN WITH EVIDENCE to be a danger to the child. Anything less is a sever violation of basic human rights and will no longer be tolerated.

There are lots of reasons why shared custody is impractical. You for example work long hours away from home. So in effect if you got shared custody you would not be actually providing parenting duties most of the time you had actual custody. How would that be fair? You would be expected to fund childcare costs if you carried on working full time. Most men do not want to do that. Most womem have no option after divorce but to carry on providing childcare just like they did before divorce. Custody does not equal parenting, but then it never did. Men want custody mainly to prevent paying out for childcare. You refuse to see that.

" Men want custody mainly to prevent paying out for childcare. You refuse to see that."
If men had equal custody they would be paying for child care too. If they have custody of the child they are paying for the child. I don't know of any place where a man and only a man can get free food, clothes, school supplies, healthcare, etc. for their children. Your above statement is idiotic to say the least.
Your above statement is also misandric. You are saying that men seek equal custody to save money not because they love their children and want to spend time with them. This is a very gender bigoted (feminist).idea.
Your idea is also misogynitic.
You are stating that only men do this. While we know that some women seek full custody to get more child support. Phrases like "take him to the cleaners" or referring to the first born child as the "insurance policy" comes to mind.
Im not surprised that you would hold men who seek more time with their children in contempt (misandry) while refusing to see that women are humans that, like men, are capable of disgusting behavior (misogyny). You are a feminist after all. Feminism is one of the greatest purveyors of misandry and is the greatest purveyor of misogyny there is.

You said "equal" custody. I meant "full" custody.

Mikemcneil · 61-69, M

And again you miss the point. Put the children first. What if a child doesn't want to be parented by her father, or her mother? That is why the law works in the child's best interests. It's not just about the money.

Ps You don't have to explain misogyny or misandry to me. I can read books too.
