Sure, let's just ignore the workaholic fathers, the ones working 2 jobs just to put food on the table, the ones deployed to far-off lands in the military, and the ones who, through no fault of the mother, have no interest in spending time with their kids.

I was raised in a house with a "lid always closed" policy. I carried that policy forward to my own house, when I was single and now that I'm married. That way there's never any question. Bunch of savages around here, leaving the crapper wide open.

Or, if I could expand on this, some "stay-at-home" mom with nothing better to do but follow her kids around all day My mother was a stay-at-home mom for the bulk of my childhood, and in the summer we (my siblings & I) were basically told "get outside & play, I don't want you wasting your summer inside watching TV."

Here in Scotland when I was in school, we had to sign a letter saying it was ok for the teachers to take photos of us. The daycare center I send my kids to (US) has us sign something very similar each year. Basically it gives them permission to take photos of the kids for class projects & promotional materials without us asking for compensation. I trust the people running the daycare (otherwise, why would I choose to send my kids there?), so I have no problem with this.

Since you can't be bothered to read past the link provided, copypasta from the Wikipedia entry: The Selective Service System is a means by which the United States government maintains information on those potentially subject to military conscription.

Because you're selectively pointing things out and glossing over what the prosecutors are having trouble with. Read it again: prosecutors no longer believed her account of the circumstances of the sexual encounter Could that be any clearer?

The New York Times quoted a source close to the investigation as saying the housekeeper had lied repeatedly and prosecutors no longer believed her account of the circumstances of the sexual encounter or of her own background. So she either lied when she gave her report to the police, or she's lying to the prosecutors now. She gains nothing by changing the story away from "he attacked me" now, which would sway things more toward the idea that she lied to the police previously.

My mother was told there was medical evidence by a doctor (it would prevent urinary track infections). This is the information she made the decision on. Today, there are several conflicting studies, and as a result there is not enough conclusive evidence that indicates that it should be done unless immediately medically necessary. FWIW, when my son was born, the OB asked if we were having it done (we had told her "no" previously but she wanted to make sure) and I asked her if there was any medic…

You did well, much better than I would have in the same situation. Although I generally don't care about the gender of my medical professionals (my GP is a woman, as is almost everyone in her practice) I will say that there are some occasions where I'd prefer to have a male doctor/nurse/whatever. Usually in cases where my concerns are specifically with male anatomy. It's just so much easier to explain any pain/discomfort I'm feeling in those areas to someone who's got the same gear, you know?

A mother paints her son's toenails hot pink because it's his favorite color. Does that mean he'll become gay or transgender? Nothing quite like stirring the pot. When did "becoming" one of these go back to being a conscious choice?

He's a child, it's his favourite colour. We recently had to get glasses for our four-year-old son. The only ones he would even try on were pink. At this point, I really don't care what colour they are, as long as he wears them and they help his vision. Most pre-school kids have no preconceived notions about gender and colour.

I think women like this need to remember that boys will be boys. I really dislike this statement. Don't put yourself out there, even on Facebook, if you are not ready for the reactions or the consequences. Grow up please. This needs to be etched into everyone's consciousness. I had a co-worker who shared far, far too much personal information about herself with the group and it had a very negative impact on how we worked with her.

“Fifty-eight percent of men delayed their divorce because of its impact on children. Far fewer women [viz., 37 percent] had this worry.” The remaining 42 percent listed "because I know I'll get shafted financially & spend the remaining years of my life living in a 1-room apartment with a hot plate & washing my dish in the communal bathroom sink at the end of the hall" as their primary reason.

Men in general don't talk about their health, period. And those who do, don't tend to talk about their health relative to their sex organs. Mothers are more revered in American society than fathers (mom's got breasts, dad usually doesn't). One place I worked at, software maintenance was always scheduled for Sundays. They'd go out of their way to avoid Mother's Day; Father's Day was only avoided if someone critical to that weekend's maintenance spoke up and wasn't overridden. It's easier to packa…

My wife gets 6 weeks of disability pay, which is about 50% of her normal rate. But that only kicks in after she's exhausted all her unused paid vacation. Which means that after she's back to work from maternity leave, if we have a sick child, she has to take unpaid time off from work to stay home with the child.

Do they think you get paid your full salary on maternity leave? Like it's a 6-week paid vacation that doesn't come out of your regular vacation time? Why no paternity leave? When my wife has our second child in the spring, I'll immediately lose more than 50% of my paid vacation time so that I can take a reasonable amount of time off for delivery, hospital & caring for both of them after they come home. Paternity leave has to come before childless women get maternity leave.
