Once again you haven't said anything that counters my arguments. Does it suck to lose a debate? To represent a futile movement?

If radical feminism is so laughable and ridiculous and futile...

Literally why are you so bothered by it...

Ants don’t bother me just by existing.

So I'm still waiting for the part where you prove me wrong.

I’m still waiting for some basic evidence to support any of your arguments...

But you misogynists never can seem to produce that.

Got any evidence to prove my arguments wrong? You misandrists can never seem to produce that.

The burden of proof is usually on the person who brings a claim in a dispute. It is often associated with the Latin maxim semper necessitas probandi incumbit ei qui agit, a translation of which in this context is: "the necessity of proof always lies with the person who lays charges.

So we’ve seen your charges, where’s the proof?

Okay, Radical Feminist. Heres some evidence for you. Lets start with an easy one from my earlier comment:

Why do Family Courts favour awarding large amounts of alimony to the ex-wife in the vast majority of cases?

Evidence:

Chapter 6 ("Maternal Rights v. Paternal Rights: The Case of Children") of Legalizing Misandry by Katherine Young and Paul Nathanson

But the largest part of this discrimination [racial discrimination against blacks] is subtle or hidden because no one today would want to be labelled a racist. The discrimination against men in divorce-custody proceedings, on the other hand, is blatant and shameless. Protective orders, which evict men from their homes at a moment’s notice, are issued without evidence; restraining orders are issued without testimony; at times custody is awarded without testimony; and false child abuse allegations against fathers are rampant.

Consider the case of a Canadian man. He had been married to his employer, a physician who had paid him a handsome salary and wrote off the expenses for tax purposes. When they divorced, he had to take an eight-dollar-an-hour job. Nonetheless, he was required to pay child support based on the much higher salary earned previously. He lost more money by trying to get the payment adjusted to his new circumstances. (Noncustodial parents are forced to spend a lot of money, by the way, if they decide to challenge court rulings.) Once, when he was two days late, his ex-wife tried to have him jailed. Forced to live in his car, he committed suicide in 1999 by inhaling the exhaust fumes.

Consider the following case, that of a well-to-do household. “Michael” goes to court in the hope of having the judge reduce his family-support payments. On the surface, his case seems preposterous. After all, he earns $158,000. The judge rejects his plea, perhaps not surprisingly, and orders him to continue paying his former wife $7,153 every month. But that amount represents 96% of his take-home pay; after deductions, he takes home $7,455 every month. And after making his family-support payments, he has only $302 on which to live. The fact is that even single men on welfare in his city actually receive more money: $520. His son and former wife, on the other hand, are hardly living at the poverty line. Was Michael evil enough to have deserved this situation? Neither infidelity nor physical violence caused his divorce. Nor, for that matter, did “psychological violence.” It was caused, according to his wife, by the fact that he spent too much time at work. When the local newspaper ran a story on deadbeat dads, nevertheless, his sixteen-year-old son had this to say: “Dad, did you read that article in The Star? Well that’s what I think of you.”

There you go, some textbook evidence with a citation. Now, go ahead and prove me wrong.

her spouse was ordered by a judge, after they entered a request for legal separation, to pay her $1,000 a month while the paperwork was finalized.

Thats a lot of money for an interim injunction. Thanks for only proving my point. What else do you have?

You’re right instead they talk in general about how women and the children they are forced to care for are severely disadvantaged by divorce.

Must be why you focused on how much money she was getting from him and literally nothing else.

Also why you didn’t mention the thousands of dollars of debt women racked up just to get child support paid.

You're going to need to point out the parts that supposedly prove me wrong. I'm not here to do your research for you. I'll wait.

If you’d actually read any oh the links they all prove you wrong.

But I get it it’s easier to be really lazy and just deny reality.

At no point in this article does it say what the courts awarded. Infact, the courts aren't even mentioned. So, this article proved nothing. Nice try failing to prove anything. Next?

Around 15 per cent of mothers and 19 per cent of children fall into relative poverty post-separation.

Therefore 85% of mothers live great privileged lives that the article is supposedly trying to refute. What else you got?
