Only an ignorant man would write this about women "finally gettting equal wagesadn promotions.." Huh! In what world? Women are still earning only 76cents to the dollar that a man earns in the same occupation with the same education in the same region! Women are NOT finally getting equal wages and promotions! Women have to contend with taking time out, unsupported by the government, for child rearing and child care. They are punished for being moms in the workplace.

You are right, Unique...it is not "thought-provoking," and I was a bit confused.
Another question which comes to mid is why a man would want to join a women's site like this and Dianne has pointed out that he must have issues with which he is dealing.
Personally, I do not buy into the male suicide rates as a result of divorce. Women are much more likely to have difficulty after divorce, given the aspects of support, childcare, and employment.

Ari is correct: statistics show that a woman's mental and financial health declines post-divorce, while a man's increases! Generally, the woman has custody of the children, and now has to bear all the costs of child rearing including day care on the aforementioned lower paying jobs. Men can work overtime to earn more because they don't have to worry about child care. And it costs a woman in legal fees to go after dead beat dads who don't pay child support. My single divorced girlfriends with children go through hell trying to make ends meet while the guys get new cars. And if there is a man on this site, let him deal with his issues elsewhere. LLL

Have you ladies heard of 'trolls' and 'flaming'? I've never seen it in this forum, but apparently it is quite common in other forums. I don't hang out in places like that, but I 'hear' things. Inciting mayhem in public forums is like crying, 'Fire' in a theatre. Maybe it's a form of mental illness - I, for one don't have time. I come here to relax with my 'sistahs'. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's in the Outback with a satellite connection, and therefore has no social skills. Who knows?
