| 8 | I'm learning SwedishSo what? Obviously, I'd like to see people being happy in their relationships, but as long as divorces are reasonably civil I don't really care. I'd rather see people do what they can to find happiness rather than cling to what in a lot of cases are doomed relationships. I don't buy into marriage being this sacred bond, I see it as a legal bond. My level of devotion to my partner does not change with marriage. | /r/MensRights | 11/06/10 01:07 AM |
| 7 | I'm learning Swedishbut the taxes aren't prohibitively high, or at the least I have never felt that they are. When I was working, before I went back to school, I made ~$20k a year and that left me with ~$14k after taxes. No incredible riches, but far more than my expenses.

| 10 | I'm learning SwedishWell, you have to understand that we come from rather different ideological viewpoints. My girlfriend does not look for me to provide for her, we both provide for each other. We work together to better our lives, and our relationship doesn't hinge on my being able to provide. We find meaning in other things, we share responsibility in making money, and we share responsibility with doing house work. We pay our taxes proudly, knowing that our efforts help making sure that everyone has a safety net… | /r/MensRights | 11/06/10 12:25 AM |
| 13 | I'm learning SwedishWell.. the taxes pay for any and healthcare you need as well (except for dental, for some strange reason). In order for you to understand that article, you have to understand Swedish society. Money isn't the kind of status symbol it is in the US, and Swedish women put a lot higher premium on men who will do their half of the house work rather than men who are barely home and earn a lot of money. Yes, we do rely a lot on the state. After all, why shouldn't we? We've paid a lot of money in taxes a… | /r/MensRights | 10/06/10 04:57 PM |
