I keep repeating myself: I used to work as a state Support Enforcement officer and know how the court/collection system works. If you are an american male, get a vasectomy as soon as practical. Don't marry, cohabit instead. If you do get caught in the system, leave the country. You're not going to find fairness or justice here.

It's good to see a recognition of such an important issue in a mainstream men's publication. It always surprises me how men's magazines generally avoid the topic - if there is one place it should be discussed, it's there!

Great article. And right on the money too. It's happening to me right now. Really fucking depressing.

Ironically, women spend more as consumers, thats where you see all the feminist centric TV programming depicting men as "beer swilling dimwits"

Women buy the shit on commercials inbetween the sitcoms.

Strange times we are living in. As a 25 year old white male, I am constantly bombarded by the assertion that I somehow had it easier than everybody else and how I had every advantage-- I simply don't see it because frankly it isnt there. I've had to be much more pragmatic and conservative in my actions because the risk of being reckless is too high. (get a woman pregnant, and you're fucked... sleep with a psycho woman on a one night stand and she accuses you of sexual assault because she later regrets her decision, and you're fucked... in either of these situations men are institutionally disadvantaged)

Schools are now female centric with fewer and fewer male teachers.
More females are going to college than men. The legal system is obviously FUBAR to the disadvantage of men.

Because men are where the money is. If men stayed home and didn't have jobs then the system would find a way to fuck over women like it does men.

on surprising thing in article I doubt is true:

men are ordered pay alimony even when their wife earns more than they do.

is there a legal basis for this?

This is why you should always get a prenup. It doesn't matter if you think you have nothing to lose, who are you to say that you don't come up with an idea and start a company that makes billions? You can always put that kind of stuff in there.

When I get married, I am going to have one. It's fair for both her and I.

Men have been holding women down for ages in homelife and in worklife. Its time for women to get a little payback.

Because they can.

This has become a society of irresponsibility. Women are not expected toe be responsible for anything. Since there must be a responsible party, the legal system defaults it all to men. When responsibility is called upon, it is almost always for bad things, thus bad things in relationships is synonymous with male punishment. Just go look at /2XC for references of the scatter-brained, disconnected and aloof narcissism of that sub reddit to see everything you need to understand why we are where we are today. It's a group of 20something and 30something teenagers who flee from responsibility of their choices.

There is no 'winning.' There really isn't even surviving. Surviving would require a path to fight back; something I have yet to find anywhere. If you really want to be with a woman, the only path worth while is to be the alpha male type. Treat them like garbage, fuck-em and throw-em. The whole gig with use and abuse is that you come and go so fast there isn't anything to be done. Somehow this is a good thing in most of their minds. If that doesn't float your boat, then welcome to the club, don't date.

Because men are too pussified to do anything about it. Men ALLOW themselves to be marginalized. The only thing stopping men from regaining their civil rights is: MEN THEMSELVES. http://manhood101.com/principles101.pdf

It's not as if women really have any power to enforce laws. Only MEN can enforce laws. Thus, it is really the fault of MANGINAS who ALLOW themselves to be taken advantage of by women. Men need to start saying NO to bitch behavior and stop being so permissive and passive.
