Divorced men who have been royally ripped off by so called "family courts".
Yeah, but to go bitter against marriage and either wind up living in mommy’s basement when they are 40 or decide to go gay is not the answer.
marry a traditional woman if you want a family
don’t be a mouse-man
I greatly hate to say this: Much in this article is very accurate, and worth serious consideration.
My advice to young men: spit on Miss Baskerville every time you walk by his prissy little self.
There are worse outcomes than not being married. The debris-field of ruined lives is evident all around us. If you have a good marriage and good children, you should thank God every day.
Communist party goal #40, as read into the US Congressional record in 1963:
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
These “Fathers Rights” types really need to take a long hard look at how they screwed up. They need to look in the mirror to see why the marriage failed.
I’m not saying that all marriages fail because the husband was a no good bum.
But still... if he married a “bride-zilla” type of girl; a girl he met in a bar; a girl.... well you know what I mean.... then she leaves him, takes the kids and takes him to the cleaners in divorce court..... then I still feel zero sympathy for him.
Men need to take responsibility 1st.
marriage = bad. doesn’t sound like good odds at all. 50% of marriages end in divorce.
the rest end in death.
I wouldn’t give up my family for anything. If my wife divorced me tommorrow I would get joint custody since that is the norm as I understand it in Florida, and she could take as much money as the law would give her, and I wouldn’t for a moment even consider wanting my child not to exist.
In other words, living a half life, alone, without family, is not the solution to the risk of divorce. My solution . . . look for a believing Christian wife. Stats say it doesn’t much matter, but that is why I say “believing,” not a woman just going through the motions.

This piece is spot-on. Described my world to perfection (with a few deviations - I don’t live in Mom’s basement). In addition, my ex had all the fault (joined the rodeo if you know what I mean). Now, the system extorts money from me and she is free to alienate my children at her whim.
It is a very broken system.
Wow, talk about cynical.
I’m in the group that believes many modern American women are difficult for men to have relationships with, but this guy has gone off the deep end.
Not all women are so cold and calculating.
I understand where you are coming from and I was you many years ago. If you have to go through it, and I pray that you never do, you’re eyes will be forced open by a system that you obviously (and I say that respectfully) have little understanding of.
“It is well known that half of all marriages end in divorce.” Complete nonsense and completely untrue. It may be well known but what is known is false. The REAL numbers are less than ONE THIRD. The fact is the majority of marriages stay together. This alone should be an argument for marriage not against it.
This story by spewing false information is a threat to marriage and society.
The homosexual agenda is very interested to spewing much the same nonsense about marriage in an effort to redefine it to the extent that it will include them.
There are plenty of good girls our there who don’t believe this kind of trash. Boys, go get them and have 10 children and may you live long enough to see your children's children.
Legally speaking marriage is being challenged by homosexuality every single day.
Men do get the raw end of the deal quite often but abandoing marriage and family is no answer as it would merely destroy our civilization and also hand the feminists the victory they crave.
As stated earlier, if you marry a traditional woman your chances of this happening to you are decreased significantly. Also, courts are beginning to turn around so enough of the rubbish of showing your anger through abandoning marriage — besides, if you sleep around and get a gal pregnant you then leave yourself even more vulnerable to the courts without any benefits of family whatsoever. Yes the system needs changing badely, but unless guys want to get their jollies with their computers or buy choose on of the Village People as their fashion guru and hang out at the local gay bar then you just have to make the best of it.
I agree.
“marry a traditional woman if you want a family”
Of course, that goes without saying, the problem is, that kind of woman is getting harder to find, and the wrong kind have figured out how to reel men in.
Keep in mind that I do not agree with the writer’s advice to avoid marriage and family. BUT, in doing it all over again I would BE VERY CHOOSY about the woman.
