Guys, I SEE YOUR POINTS! I REALLY, REALLY DO! However, all of these points do not ring true for everyone.
I do not look down on a man that does not work, as long as he has a valid reason for not doing (as I would say of a woman). I know that being a stay-at-home dad is a hard job because being a mom is. I alos know that there are some women who just don't like to stay home. Hell, if I had a banging career and I took care of the first child (or even if this was the first), and my money could support us, I would be MORE than happy to work. That's what marriage, family, and partnership is all about.
As for other issues, men are not in bad standing and do not take the backburner in situations. The problem is that instead of speaking about it, be about it. Do you think that women got these rights by typing on forums all day? HELL NO! They got out there and marched, petition, burned bras, etc. to get where they are. Men complain about not having rights, but they aren't doing anything to change it. Someone has to set the example. You have to go within the system to change it. You have to do things to get results.
Most of us in here agree that once an egg is fertilized, it's a baby. From a legal standpoint (and some people's personal standpoints), an embryo, fetus, etc. is not a baby until it is delivered. That said, it is just a mass of cells within that woman body that she has the right to have removed if she wants to. You all have to understand that. You may not like it, but it's the way it is. If you don't like it, do something to change it.
Men are complaining about a system that they are partly the fault of getting into place. Back in the day (and even today), men claimed that women are good for nothing cooking, cleaning, sex, and birthing babies. They didn't like that so they got out to change it and fought for the respect they felt they deserved. Now, men are starting to feel powerless and feeling like control is shifting. Well, you either lie in the bed that you made, or go out and buy a new one. (meaning: accept the way things are or go out and change them)
