1	"The idea that women dislike being financially dependent on men is a myth, with more choosing to 'marry up' now than did so in the 1940s" according to Dr Catherine Hakim from the London School of Econ One note: the link post from OP here seems to indicate that the text in quotes is a direct quote from Dr. Catherine Hakim, but in the article itself it is not written that way. It may be that she said something similar OR that the article writer was paraphrasing or summarizing a main point, but if it's not a direct quote in the article it shouldn't a direct quote here. Good informative article here, but be careful not to put quotes to people that they may not have directly said.	/r/MensRights	17/01/13 05:00 PM
2	It's my first cakeday. In the past year, I became a supporter of joint physical custody for divorced parents, despite some really negative experiences with it growing up. What has r/MensRights changed YOUR mind about? After my parents' divorce I went through joint physical custody. And while I was growing up, I hated it for a long time and thought it was the worst thing ever (first-world problem). But most recently after a few years of hearing the worst kinds of stories --and some of them here on /r/MR -- I realized that my life was pretty good given the circumstances and I should probably have shut up.	/r/MensRights	27/12/12 06:10 AM
6	Currently listening to my long distance boyfriend being threatened by an insane woman in his house. Police say he cannot do anything to remove her. Does he have friends in the area? Invite them all over. ALL of them. Get 10, 15, 20 dudes in the place to move in temporarily. Then completely ignore her. If she doesn't leave because of that...	/r/MensRights	21/12/12 07:05 PM
2	Talking to Dad I'm a father and a Christian. I don't know you or your dad, but I can't think of anything that would lead me to disown my children. Perhaps you are incorrect? Think on it.	/r/MensRights	17/12/12 06:27 AM
1	Girlfriend recently told me that she was pregnant and I'm gonna be a dad. Within a few hours of this announcement, she completely changed and has been threatening that I'll never see or have custody of the child. I see your point. Every pregnancy and woman is different. "You did this to me!" Is this trope just an exaggeration or a real thing? My wife never said it to me, so I've wondered.	/r/MensRights	01/11/12 07:01 PM
1	Girlfriend recently told me that she was pregnant and I'm gonna be a dad. Within a few hours of this announcement, she completely changed and has been threatening that I'll never see or have custody of the child. Yes, my comment above wasn't clear on that. Postpone if you don't feel PHYSICALLY threatened, long enough to document stuff in your favor.	/r/MensRights	31/10/12 08:13 PM
2	Girlfriend recently told me that she was pregnant and I'm gonna be a dad. Within a few hours of this announcement, she completely changed and has been threatening that I'll never see or have custody of the child. Agreed. Document everything separately. Approach her cautiously with an open discussion and if she will not see anything with empathy, then it ends there. Document everything.	/r/MensRights	31/10/12 08:00 PM
3	Girlfriend recently told me that she was pregnant and I'm gonna be a dad. Within a few hours of this announcement, she completely changed and has been threatening that I'll never see or have custody of the child. Agreed. Discuss feelings first, then document, document, document. My thought is only that perhaps she is not at heart an ogre, just unaware she is treating him that way. Not everyone is very empathetic especially since she is dealing with her own crisis. If you show her the mirror of how she makes him feel, and she responds with negativity, defensiveness and bullshit, that is her true nature and not likely to change anytime soon.	/r/MensRights	31/10/12 07:54 PM
46	Girlfriend recently told me that she was pregnant and I'm gonna be a dad. Within a few hours of this announcement, she completely changed and has been threatening that I'll never see or have custody of the child. This. It's entirely possible she is severely emotional during this early stage of pregnancy. Don't bring it up this way, of course! But see if you can actually discuss this and your feelings. Discuss the fact that you are committed to being a father --assuming you are. If this discussion gets blown back in your face or ignored, then proceed with other advice.	/r/MensRights	31/10/12 04:12 PM
2	A man's world? Not on Father's Day. Can't imagine a Mother's Day without getting treated to dinner out and a dozen roses. But on Father's Day admits she and her 10-year-old son don't give her husband the same treatment. Agreed, it is a "hallmark" made-up holiday anyhow. It's not that I won't be honoring my dad that day, but we both will be taking it easy.	/r/MensRights	11/06/12 03:58 PM
2	am i the only one who wants to be a stay at home dad? At your age I was a stay at home dad and loved it. I admit I wasn't very good at it and I don't share your enthusiasm for housework, but good for you sir. I'm 36 now and work full time but if we could afford it I'd switch.	/r/MensRights	08/05/12 06:06 PM
12	Just wanted to say thanks for being there for us lurkers. Understand that even if your kids may seem like they are believing her side of the story right now, they are not stupid and one day will come to understand your ex-wife for what she really is; a monster. If you bow out of this fight now, if you let go of life, you will miss the moment when they are by your side again.	/r/MensRights	22/05/11 05:55 AM
2	I'm tired... Take your kid to a church service on a different day than Sunday? I know the Catholic church that I grew up in had a small Saturday night service and a weekday thing. I'm not Catholic now and I'm not saying switch denominations if you are not Catholic, but I wanted to throw the suggestion to you anyway. My first reaction is to agree with other posters that suggested you not buck the system too hard just to prove a point. The system sucks, but work within it or you will just make things worse.
