i was listening on the radio to a program on divorce. They're talking about the push for a standard of 50/50 - that is, divorce judges should BEGIN at an evenly split 50/50 joint custody rather than automatically work towards a "Winner Takes All" approach where one parent owns all rights.
This guy professor comes on, explains the concept and why it works, citing studies that statistically prove that it works better because it leads to more joint-custody situations, which in turn has been proven to be better for the child.
Then some feminist law professor comes on and basically says,
1) "Men don't do any parenting work why should they be able to have an even share of custody"
2) "Men abuse their wives, and it's unfair for victims to have to prove in court they shouldn't get 50/50"
3) "Men are bad at parenting, that's just a social reality"
Actually she basically uses "social reality" throughout the entire speech as some justification for her blatant sexism. At the end of it she, word for word, says that men wouldn't be able to provide as well for the children.
FUCK. THAT.
I mean, never mind your subjective BS of who parents more/better, what about the common fact that women make $0.77 for every dollar men make? Doesn't that fucking imply that a man is more likely to be able to provide for his children? My god.
I mean I'm all for equality of the sexes, but it's just so retarded. "Women studies" - that's a godamned joke. You might as well call that class "NO BOYS ALLOWED" because I haven't seen a single one of those classes with anything less than a 95/5 split. I can't take anyone in that field seriously until the majority finally get off their high horse and rename the subject "gender studies" or whatever.
Sorry, I just had to vent.
