Why do men need better protection 4 themselves ? R men such weaklings?
Why not empower men instead by arming him with weapons and skills ?
Why do the men here in SS continue to play the victim card ? It is a shameful trait to possess.
I dont disagree. I think this is another case of starting the same idea in a different way.
For example, when I left my exwife, she was angry but told me I was a great father and the boys need me, etc etc. I had assumed our 50/50 arrangement was okay, but I spoke with several attorneys ahead of our mediation just in case. Well, she sat there and asked for full custody, easily the worst experience of my life. However, I was prepared and learned about alternatives if this situation did not work out favorably. A parent can request 12 months of custody evaluation, further entrenching an established schedule. Needless to say, the mediator kept 50/50.
Another example is how I kept my inheritance in a completely separate account, therefore she didnt get a penny of it when we split. That's what I would call protecting myself, or in your words, arming myself.
One thing I learned, all men should protect themself. For example, a couple thousand dollars could easily disappear on a Vegas weekend that cost nothing more than a hotel room. Hundred here, hundred there, do this for years. And suddenly the savings you share together is gone... "damn baby, I'm terrible with money, I have a serious gambling problem." All men need a shoe box that nobody knows about... nobody! That is called protecting yourself.
