Really nice work on the keyboard there...

Any chance you can google up the disparity in funding between the "women in tech" vs. the "men in x" campaigns for me too?

Hooray another discriminatory organization that gives preference to individuals based on attributes they are born with!

I'm sure the funders are also dumping money into "13 Amazing Places Where Men and Boys can learn to be Nurses / Teachers / Homemakers"

This should be especially exciting to tech feminists who are striving for gender equality and are surely outraged about the crime sentencing gap which jails men for 63% longer than women who commit the same crimes.

Again - is it your assertion that our drastically changed social environment has had no effect on the stability of relationships?

I whole-heartedly agree with you that there are many factors that can help predict the success of a marriage. This is somewhat besides the point.

It's shortsighted and a case of "ignoring the elephant in the room" to pretend that a dramatic shift in our social environment is having no effect on the stability marriage or that factors which contributed to past-generation's successful marriages have been unaffected by this shift.

Do you earnestly believe that 9/10 fathers don't want custody of their children?

Do you also earnestly believe that the custody process is affordable and accessible to poor and middle-class men?

Are you arguing that our social environment hasn't changed since the 1970's or that our obviously dramatically changed social environment has had no effect on male-female relationships?

Either way, your advice is more of the same feel-good nonsense that we feed our young men, hand-waving away the outcomes of divorce and custody law, and pushing them towards a statistically likely devastating outcome.

It may feel good to preach the traditional loving family of your grandparents, but the data shows that they are the outlier. A much more likely outcome is a split family and emotional and financial devastation for the husband.

You should educate yourself about how the Tender Years Doctrine works as well as how custody is awarded to unwed parents if you think custody is not automatically awarded to the mother.
