105. Why would someone be attacked for telling the truth of

their experience?

The reason we have a court system is to mete out disagreements like this.

If some feel it's a broken system, they can work their asses off to change it. Women have done this with pay inequality to the effect that we now still make about .80/hr less than men for equal work, after 30+ years of attacking this issue. We may have gained a dime or two in 30 years, but no more.

However, denying self-evident truths is not going to win any friends to the "feel sorry for Dads" movement. Especially when you make assertion that the social inequity women have experienced for about, say, 5000 to 12,000 years is exaggerated or imagined. ('S and M words, LOL, we all know what b.s. that is") If you just want to piss people off, fine, but geez, don't expect to throw digs and not be confronted. Men will earn respect as good fathers by actively trying to get more men to be good and better fathers. As long as so many people have personal histories that are contrary to these assertions, it is going to be an uphill battle for the men that are good fathers. But you can't give up, women haven't and we never will.
