------------------------------------------------------------- I always find it interesting when a descriptive term applied to a man is seen as a negative when, applied to a woman, it would be seen as sympathetic. -------------------------------------------------------------
The same as when you see a woman slap a man across the face, HE was the one in the wrong. Or when you see a woman in a movie throw a plate at a man, only to have it whiz by him and smash against the wall - it's downright hilarious (/sarcasm)! It's all how we've been programmed over the years to view things between genders - the same old women=weak/innocent and men=strong/evil labeling. It's not that that in itself is bad (although it is), but when you start getting things written into law and judged because of it is where things cross the line, IMO.
------------------------------------------------------------- Oh... thanks for this article Stoltz... I like the references/resources... and also do you notice... in a LEGITIMATE resource meant to be persuasive to people, just just crow among like-minded people, they actually SPELL OUT things like VAWA.... and one other thing about that.., maybe did you notice: if you've spelled out things like VAWA, you can use words like "draconian" in describing child support enforcement and it dosn't look quite as biased to do so? --------------------------------------------------------------
