Hi DJL,

You stated that “this country is truly screwed thanks to the left wing.” It’s not just the left and the ideological feminists who are at fault, it is also the male “chivalry” of some on the right who have trampled on men’s legal rights by exaggerating the number of deadbeat dads, demanding large payouts to women in terms of alimony and seeing the state’s role as protectors and providers for women and children by using men to make this possible, sometimes at a cost that is many times more than just simple support. If men stand up to the legal system, many on the right are not supportive and say that men are whiners and should “take it like a man” when in fact, the man may be treated like a common criminal without due process and any “real” man would stand up for his civil rights. Those on the right also act like fathers are deserting their families with abandon but as a commenter pointed out, most divorces are initiated by women.
