[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m literally being told by the divorced dads: I want a family structure; I want another kid; I have money and can support a family.

[/quote]

Yeah, they do. They also want someone to do the household stuff (best case, split the load). They do not want to be solely responsible for household and kid stuff. Which is fine, I don't either, but the big question is why did they divorce then?[/quote]

I divorced when my kids were 15 and 13. I dated but didn't marry until one was graduated from university and the other was a junior in college. I ran my household perfectly fine on my own, and I effectively had 90% physical custody as the kids didn't want to live with their mother for a variety of reasons. Men run their households just fine, thank you very much. And the fact that you automatically slandered an entire gender with this trope indicates lazy, archaic thinking and likely more than a touch of bitterness and projection. You're just not in touch with the real world and your misandry is revolting. Be better.[/quote]

Maybe take heart in the fact that you defy the stereotype, rather than attacking a woman for pointing that out to you. Most men don’t run households, period. It’s great that you do. But acknowledging the infrequency of that is not misandry. [/quote]

I'm not the PP but I'm a woman married to a great guy who is the opposite of the men who are always complained about on here. When people say things like "they" it makes it sound like they're talking about all men, hence why the PP said hey, not all men are like that.[b] To your point, he isn't the norm[/b], but his point is that it often sounds like people are saying all men do X or don't do X and it is annoying when you think my husband (or I) don't fit into that statement so you are wrong. [/quote]
Which IS THE POINT. The vast majority of men (norm) don't behave like this. Count yourself lucky that you found one of the good ones! I consider my husband fairly similar as well. But you can understand that a few good apples don't outweigh the stats. [/quote]
