For anyone unsure, when StA talks of weaponized state/laws against men, he's not wrong.

I clerked in a NY appellate court, I got multiple custody appeals. I saw the process up close several times. Major wake up call for me.

I had a case where the wife alleged that husband was physically threatening, despite not a single iota of evidence of the same and despite it being undisputed that she lied in her deposition/trial testimony, those "fears" and "threats" undoubtedly governed the tone of the trial IMO, he was always back pedaling as she attacked.

Maybe women like this are rare, or maybe dudes just don't know there's better fish out there. As a dude though, she ain't gonna have supper waiting for you if you ain't gettin' up bright and early to get out and hump it.
Men do make terrible choices when it comes to women. There is a lot of self sabotage.

Moreover, from the crappy marriages that I am aware of, guy is plenty at fault. Many people stop growing and improving, become boring, fat and stale.

I'm sure no one on this forum disagrees that the system is weaponozed against men. Just read about the Viet Nam POW who came back and lost half his shit. It didn't matter that his wife blew his POW money on fucking other dudes while he was gettin tortured.

But I don't weep for men who married these evil bitches in the first place. I pity them, and would certainly vote for change. But I don't cry for them.
