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.

@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…).

@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

@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.

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 their kids themselves.

The Boy Scouts of America (@boyscouts) “today announced that it will rebrand to Scouting America, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to welcome every youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting” (), which makes sense. This was a long time coming.

While this is not the invasion of male spaces some make it out to be, this is (in an amusing way) feminists indirectly delivering a massive gut punch, if not coup-de-grâce, to the Girl Scouts of the United States America organization (@girlscouts).

@SamBroseph How can a man choose to become a father? The answer is: he can’t. Parenthood is a decision that rests solely with women. Why should the consequences of that decision be laid at the feet of anyone other than the person who made that decision? @SamBroseph Women have all the choices regarding parenthood. A woman can choose to be a parent if she finds a willing sperm donor. A man cannot choose to become a parent even if he finds a willing egg donor or a willing sex partner. She who has the womb has the choice of parenthood.

@DennyRun @Oneiorosgrip @Michael_B_1970 @DanSull36510584 @pearlythingz Logic is NOT a science.

Science uses inductive reasoning through the scientific method.

Formal Logic uses deductive reasoning and a very limited range of inductive reasoning that is permissible in proofs. Formal Logic is all about the preservation of truth value. @DennyRun @Oneiorosgrip @Michael_B_1970 @DanSull36510584 @pearlythingz Arguments are NOT evidence in and of themselves.

A fallacious argument evidences nothing.

What an argument demonstrates depends upon the quality of the evidence in the argument and depends upon how well the truth value of the evidence is preserved by the argument.

A man can’t choose to become a parent even if he finds a willing egg donor or a willing sex partner. She who has the womb has the choice of parenthood. @dede811 @Oneiorosgrip @ajjjjjjj33 Specifically, women have unilateral adoption, safe haven, plan B, etc., to terminate parental obligations whether the woman consented to have sex or not.

Men can’t terminate parental obligations regardless of whether the man had sex, consented to sex, or consented to parenthood.
