Generally, the only thing that gets a government's attention is losing
a lawsuit. Given that, I'd almost like to see some young adult sue the government for financial support, citing the fact that since the government made sure their father paid to maintain a certain level of lifestyle for them, it is their "right". |

I like the idea. It's amazing that child support is seen as a "good and just thing" by the average person who doesn't have to pay it. Shows how easy it is to brainwash people. Also amazing that any political attention shown to the CS issue is always in favor of those receiving the CS, not those paying it. |

You simply have to ask yourself: what is the sex of those who pay the CS and what is the sex of those who receive it? The fundamental political reality in the U.S. is that those who pay CS belong to one of the few remaining official scapegoat groups, heterosexual males. In sharp contrast, those who are getting the money belong to an official victim group, females, who constitute an identifiable special interest group. Politicians, judges, and bureaucrats want to pander to women, and are intimidated by them. The current imbalance will continue until a substantial number of fathers are custodial parents receiving money from mothers, or until there is a politically significant "masculinist" movement. |

A kid , age 25, raised to be spoiled and lazy as hell, loses their partents due to early death. They don't want to work, so they sue the government claiming "When my parents divirced you (the government) said that I was **ENTITLED** to live the lifestyle that I had become accustomed to. No one else is willing or able to provide it for me, so now you have to." I know it'll probably never happen, but there are plenty of weird lawsuits. |

My concern is partly (maybe even most significantly) drawn from the perspective of a mother of many boys. However, anyone who has been around here for a while knows as well, that there is a substantial percentage of men who are "non-supporters." The gender lines aren't so cleanly drawn--It is simply not a situation of men v. women. === === |

So, Kenneth, do you think the masculinist movement will be more fair than the feminist movement has been? |
