Thanks for an objective post.
I share my experiences because it was truly off the chart, and I have not even spoken of the worst parts. I do not want any man, or woman on this board to make the same mistakes and suffer the same consequences. People may not take me serious, or may laugh it off as we all do when it has not happened to us yet, or worse, start judging people without any experience themselves, but if I save someone in here even one dollar, or prepare them for something they may not be emotional prepared for, then I don’t give fuck.
B Bear, I am 45, your situation is unique, and I was actually an at home father myself for my kids first three yrs. But the courts are as they say 20 yrs behind on everything, which means women always have priority as the primary, which means men pay. It’s about bringing the courts up to speed on these changes not me. I challenge anyone to tell me differently and why I have to be insulted (not you bear) to point out the obvious.
The only point I try to make in here is when shit goes south, some people do what they have to do and ask questions later, and some don’t even know what the fuck that means. Which is why these stories are often so painful.

You're talking about micro aggressions. When I've brought up micro aggressions and how they a affect POC you have no time for it. If I wanted to waste my time I could find posts where you said people just need to get thicker skin and that if you didn't mean anything by it they should let it go, etc...
You've made many great arguments against misogyny and mistreatment if women in the last few days.
Replace woman with POC in your posts and you would be arguing vehemently against them.

Tammy Wynette cannot be reached for help-Divorce advice
Jesus Christ this thread has been seriously derailed. People come in here to talk about their divorces. Spare us your opinions on experiences you’ve not had, and just express your condolences.
I am posting the “list” one more time and then fucking off.
Don’t get all super sensitive because it’s origin is from a mens website, woman should read it too. And spare me your shock, you are not supposed to understand it if you’ve never gone through it.

Honestly, I have a hard time taking you seriously because of how you have treated me in the past.
I don't like the word microaggression and while I agree there are a lot of parallels between our arguments the biggest thing that bothers me about your people of color arguments is there aren't workable solutions except white people have been oppressors.
Like the banana incident. Say your piece, explain yourself, and then the offender apologized. Move forward and try to do better next time.
I suppose I feel like your take is that poc are so terribly oppressed that they cannot succeed. I want to hear them powering up. I want to hear concrete ways that barriers can be broken.
I'm willing to listen, just like I would like to be listened to. I'm willing to apologize for my part if I had one in making someone feel marginalized and I'm willing to support efforts to break down barriers.
I'm a woman. I'm talking about my experiences.
You are not a person of color so it's hard for me to get behind your argument because it isn't yours. It's your interpretation of your wife's experiences.

I'm sorry the discussion of sexism has been so emotionally painful for the guys on this thread.
All the women I know have experienced the biases and poor treatment talked about in this thread. Some form of it happens every day for women. Recently, I was questioned at a border crossing when I was traveling because I had put myself rather than my spouse as head of household on the customs form. They thought it should be his name. How dare I think I could be head of household when I have a man in my life. When I applied for a Global Entry card, the US immigration official told me that I needed to bring my birth certificate and my husband in to vouch for my identify because I don't share my spouse's name, which is totally not required. He would never have questioned a man's right to his name. I had already presented him with the required information. He just wanted to exert his power over me because I didn't conform to his personal idea of the rules. I stood in his line for 45 minutes. I kept smiling politely and waiting until his line got so long that he stamped my paperwork because he was embarrassed by the length of the line. It's the small day-to-day things that remind women they're not considered equal citizens.
These a just a few examples of sexism women experience every day. Don't even get me started on the men who think it's their right to stare at and judge my boobs every day. Maybe some of the guys on this thread can help me find some shirts that will hide my body. /sarcasm Quite of few guys on this thread post on the NSFW threads. I wonder if that's where they hone their skills for telling women how to dress appropriately. Also, think about some of the TGR alias names and avatars on this very thread. They scream sexism. The Weinstein thread is full of sexist and disparaging comments from men about Weinstein's soon to be ex wife.
I hope that as a nation we wake up to the biases against women that run the gambit from rape to divorce settlements that result in a 41% decline in financial assets for women (http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12-699). Sexism includes day-to-day disparagement of women combined with unequal pay. Today, even contraception is under attack.
Oh, and I'm tired of the insinuations that women who talk about sexism must be crazy. Men use that tactic to shut women up, and it's belittling.
Most women I know have been sexually assaulted at least once. #metoo

And denying that a problem exists while attempting to invalidate others who have suffered due to said problem.
To be clear, other than my leg being broken, my life is pretty great right now. Just because you can over come and make the best out of your situation doesn't mean there are not serious injustices.

LOL!! So now you're going to tell me what I think and feel? Sigh. I simply advocate for myself a self-defining life where I don't give POS people a say in how I live. It is a path that works for me and perhaps an example for others to try.
Injustice? I'm in my 50s, I know all about injustice. I spent my life working in a field that is the original old boys network and decades volunteering my time and talents to help those who could not help themselves. BTDT. There is injustice of every make model and style in every corner of the world. Never said there wasn't. Like everyone, I choose the ones I want to work against in my own way.
A wise woman wishes to be no one's enemy; a wise woman refuses to be anyone's victim.
