[Read the article: Five years and counting]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The phrase from Matthew could be interpreted as referring to the rotten core of feminism and those hypocrites who subscribe to it.
That description seems to fit you very well, Greeneyedkzin, as you didn't even bother to go to the study I indicated in my first post before lashing out in a hypocritical rant.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!"

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree with you!
You have been ignoring facts and statistics your whole life.
You're doing it now, so, you're right, I shouldn't be surprised.
Stay ignorant of the facts! It keeps you happy!

Refuse to read the survey, start ranting about your anti-male bias, and you are the troll.
You are the troll.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Haven't heard that one about unwed mothers' motivations, rhubarb.
Anything having to do with legal, moral or ethical limitations on women's actions tends to be a minefield.
If women can murder their children and husbands or sleep with young boys with impunity and no accountability from our legal system, why shouldn't they have children out of wedlock.
After all, it's not about the children. It's about what women want.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Given the repeated, strident legal activities of several feminist groups to block joint custody legislation throughout the years, and men's groups' attempts to secure such legislation, your comment about "teaching the next generation of men how to walk away from their children" should refer to those children's mothers, not their fathers.

Not all women
[Read the article: Are women biologically drawn to older men?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Some - it would seem many - women are drawn to adolescent boys as sex partners. Just read the papers. One school board in Florida is calling an emergency session to address the issue in their district:

School Board Members Want A Closer Look At Teacher-Student Sex Issue

TAMPA - A Hillsborough County school board official said she plans to hold an emergency meeting to figure out whether there are ways to prevent hiring teachers who might have a propensity to have sex with their students.
As police investigations continue into two teachers accused of having sex with students, the board's chairwoman, Jennifer Faliero, said today that she is calling an emergency board meeting. No date has been set.
The meeting will address the status of the teacher arrested Thursday, but also will discuss larger issues. With two teachers arrested seven days apart for having sex with students, Faliero said, officials need to figure out whether there is something they are missing.
She said she will invite members of the teachers union, representatives for the schools' staff and Hillsborough County State Attorney Mark Ober to the meeting.
"Right now we do one-on-one interviews with teachers and background checks," Faliero said. "Is there something we can do to predict if someone will have this behavior?"
Police arrested Mary Jo Spack, 45, Thursday, saying she met a 17-year-old and an 18-year-old student at a liquor store last week, bought alcohol and went to the Howard Johnson Express motel on Fowler Avenue. Other students arrived and heard Spack and the 17-year-old having sex in the shower, according to police reports.
On March 13, Stephanie Ragusa, 28, was arrested and is facing charges that she had sex with a 14-year-old student from January to May 2007.
At the school board's last meeting on Tuesday, Ragusa was suspended without pay. School officials said Spack is suspended with pay. The school board, which meets again on April 15, can alter that status.
In addition to the most recent arrests, Middleton High School special education teacher Christina Butler was arrested on similar charges last year. Newsome High School soccer coach Ronnie Lewis was arrested on similar charges in January. Their cases, likewise, are ongoing.
This morning, Tampa police Lt. Ronald McMullen said investigators were "assuming" Spack has more victims. The department later clarified his statement by saying there is no evidence to suggest that there are more victims. Department spokeswoman Andrea Davis said that if there are other victims, they should contact police.
Spack, of Wesley Chapel, is married and has a 13-year-old daughter. Neither the 17-year-old nor the 18-year-old was her student, police said.
Spack has posted $8,500 bail on Thursday and been released pending trial. She could not be reached for comment.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Yep. We shouldn't even think of "shame" anymore. It's just wrong.
But a 25% venereal disease rate among teenage girls? No way they themselves had anything to do with that.
Must be those dirty boys.

Anti-male Hate
[Read the article: Single mothers are ruining society!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All this talk about men leaving and no one dares mention all the attempts fathers, married and unmarried, have made to try to change laws that give them absolutely no rights to parent their children, leading to effective endorsement of banning fathers from children's lives.
Keep talking in the feminist BS echo chamber, and telling yourself men walk away.
It's easier than facing the truth that a lot of women are selfish and infantile and see a child more as an achievement or accessory than a human being.

[Read the article: Single mothers are ruining society!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I was citing FACTS about the legal system.
Men do not have reproductive rights in America, nor a right to parent their children after they are born. Women have a monopoly on parenting rights.
Men have financial obligations spelled out in the law.

As another single father
[Read the article: Single mothers are ruining society!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]@soopergrover is scum of the earth for denying the reality that joint custody legislation has been fought by feminist groups all over the country, resulting inn countless divorced and unwed fathers being denied the right to nurture and raise their children.
Scum of the earth such as soopergrover who enable fatherless families through their ignorance and bigotry shoulder a good part of the blame for fatherless America.
