I think Hillary Clinton said it best:
Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. Women often have to flee from the only homes they have ever known. Women are often the refugees from conflict and sometimes, more frequently in todays warfare, victims. Women are often left with the responsibility, alone, of raising the children.
(she openly admits how much she hates life and would rather die than be forced to move or be a parent)
The courts are responsible for that. Most guys don't seem to mind spending money and resources on women and children because that has been the norm since the dawn of civilization. What's different about modern America is that courts punish men for trying to do the right thing. Date a single mother? Hell no. The courts could force you to pay for her children. Letting a single mother live with you is a terrible idea because she could try to claim common law marriage and still take half a guy's stuff. Several of the guys I've dated said they had no plan to ever get married because they had seen friends or family members get destroyed in divorce court. On top of all that, add in the stat that women get child custody about 90% of the time. With a divorce rate around 50%, that means there's roughly a 45% chance of a man being forced to pay for kids that he rarely sees. (0.9)(0.5) = 0.45. Of those 45%, some of them will even go to debtor's prison because child support and alimony have been ruled to be criminal matters rather than civil matters. Dave Foley was on Joe Rogan's podcast explaining how the court ordered him to pay more than 100% of his income. This is not unusual at all. The Young Turks covered a story a few years ago where a man
was thrown in jail for failing to pay child support for someone else's kids. Men might be stupid, but even the dumb ones can see this trap from a mile away. Men are protesting by going Galt.
Modern men also seem to be genuinely afraid of children. A simple accusation of being a pedophile is enough to destroy a man, so men avoid children at all cost. Men are no longer becoming teachers or child care workers. Men avoid pediatric medicine. One family was trying to get family photographs developed, and Walmart called the police because the film contained pictures of children playing in a bath tub.
A lot of people will blame feminists for this screwed up legal system, but I place the blame on men. Why? Because men were in charge when this started. It was male judges who showed extreme bias against men in divorce court. It was male judges who ordered child support for someone else's kids. It was male politicians and judges who made the 10 year alimony rule. After 10 years of marriage, the woman gets alimony for life if the two get divorced. This law by itself strongly encourages women to get divorced even if a marriage is relatively healthy. Going back to that 45% I mentioned earlier, men have very little reason to want marriage or children. Your marriage will likely end, your children will likely be taken away, and you'll lose the stuff you owned before you got married.
