I'm ashamed of my Canadian passport right now.

"Canada is one of a tiny handful of Western countries that jails men for an essentially civil offence without the procedural protections accorded real criminals, such as: the right to remain silent, the right to be considered innocent until proven guilty, the right to an impartial arbiter and the right to legal representation."

Divorce laws strongly favor women. I don't understand why marrying a girl means you'll support her for the rest of her life, even if she turns into a cheating whore.

Well, it isn't just an anti man thing. Any non custodial parent that owes child support, and who does not pay, can be held in civil or criminal contempt. Civil contempt means you go to jail until you pay, criminal contempt means that you go to jail for a specified time. There are women in jail too. Sure, the vast majority that I see are men.

The child support laws in the U.S. are similarly screwed. It does defy logic, doesn't it, that you can't afford child support therefore we're not gonna let you work until you get the money to afford it.

i'm surprised that more suicidal people don't take one or more of the people responsible for their plight with them. an honor guard on the way to hell, if you will.

First mistake, marriage. Second mistake, children.

This is soooo shocking. Feminists manage to rescind all kind of humanistic progress in legal due process since the middle ages.

Due process, separation of civil and penal law, debtor's prison, etc. On top of allowing men to be arrested and kicked out of their own home upone mere unsupported allegations by women.

Just shocking beyond belief.

You are talking about totally ruining people's lives. Sometimes this is not clear. A guy can be totally ruined, his life destroyed.

Even if the kids were not his, he still would be liable
