There is a faction in both parties that want to get rid of disability benefits for disabled citizens, disabled workers, and disabled veterans in order to teach young men the value of being responsible; women aren’t responsible.
Veterans are irresponsible moochers to these folks.
“One great, and valid, complaint about Social Security is that it is paternalistic: … it commits the twin transgressions of forcing some people to support others and making the beneficiaries the servile dependents of the state” ().fee.org/articles/is-so…
“[I]n providing old-age, survivors, and disability benefits, it usurps the individual’s responsibility to make prudent provision for his old age or disability and for the well-being of dependent family members who would suffer financially if he died” ().fee.org/articles/is-so…
@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite The Department of Labor gets similar numbers in their surveys.
In both surveys, when considering both paid work and unpaid domestic labor for the household, men (generally) work more hours than women consistently (whether or not there are children in the picture).
@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite If you add up both the unpaid labor and paid labor, on average, men work more total time than women creating a #GenderedLaborGap pursuant to (as an example) the @BLS_gov's 2017 American Time Use Survey (bls.gov/news.release/a…) and @pewresearch's data (pewresearch.org/short-reads/20…).
@KateRos78419369 @HoneyBadgerBite @BLS_gov @pewresearch American Time Use Survey (with 2017 as an example) shows that women on average are not spending enough more time with their kids, doing chores, or anything else to explain women's lack of time working. On average, men just work more in America (considering both paid and unpaid).
@Stoicsense2 If you know the history, then you know why this keeps happening despite laws saying that equal or shared parenting is possible. Many of us were told lies.
What is the real purpose of child support?
Why are mothers given preferential custody orders?
@Stoicsense2 The law changed in what’s now the United Kingdom🇬🇧 (granting women custody of their kids after divorce) because of the whinging of an adulterous ex-wife () and the United States🇺🇸 soon followed with the Talfourd Act (named after the British🇬🇧 reformer).spartacus-educational.com/Wcustody39.htm
@Stoicsense2 The reason child support exists is not for the sake of the children.
Child support exists because women — unlike men — were viewed by society (including by women) to be incompetent in handling their finances and incapable of working enough to care for children by themselves.
@melJsaysso I think it is time for a history lesson.
@AaronHeikkila, @BigHeadMafia,
@vhjvh70477682, and @newboots1977, you all may find it interesting.
Mel Jones (@melJsaysso) has read this before.
@melJsaysso @AaronHeikkila @BigHeadMafia @vhjvh70477682 @newboots1977 tl;dr — the reason child support exists isn’t for the sake of the children.

@melJsaysso @AaronHeikkila @BigHeadMafia @vhjvh70477682 @newboots1977 The law in what’s now the United Kingdom🇬🇧 was changed (adopting the “tender-years doctrine”) because of the whinging of an adulterous ex-wife () and the United States📷 soon followed with the “Talfourd Act” (named after the British reformer).spartacus-educational.com/Wcustody39.htm
