Gravatar That was awesome. I hope Fred writes more. It is hilarous and sad at the same time.

Gravatar Fred did give up at one point. But he continued, much to my delight.

Gravatar I read this in the Marriage or Not? article:

"Don't do it, guys. At least, don't do it unless you have a bomb-proof pre-nup saying that when the divorce comes,"
I'm not an attorney but this is what I've read and heard...

Pre-nups are crap for a number of reasons. First, nothing in a pre-nup can be against a social norm. So, if the pre-nup states no child support it won't hold. Second, and most importantly pre-nups usually have a time limit of 10 years. After that they are void.

Gravatar Yeah, I recognised the quote. I would agree that pre-nups in themselves are not perfect. However, if a hot-headed lad is going to tie the knot anyway then I would rather he get one than not.

The path to true gender equality

What is equality? We in the men’s rights movement believe in equality of opportunity, that as long as the playing field is level then the outcomes should not matter. The feminists tend to believe that equality of outcome is what matters, that the columns under men and women must match for there to be no more sexism. So what really matters at the end of the day is what you are comparing. Rights or outcomes? This is the foundation of our debate.
