Even today, women don't actually pay taxes. They take out more than they put it. They're a net drain on the tax system.

Ok, not every woman is working or poverty level or squatting out on government cheese. That was an extremely stupid comment and you should feel ashamed.

net drain on the system

Don't be a fucking retard. You know the context here was women as a group, not "every woman." You should be ashamed of yourself for trying to slip in such a disingenuous argument so that you can try to insult me.

It's too generalized a term though, blanket statements and all. And I hate that seeking temporary aid is seen as something bad. Men should have accesses to the same safety nets, especially if they're responsible for children (and in the cases of single fathers, those benefits are there that I'm awareof--if you know of something different please inform me). It's not something that anyone should remain on for a lengthy period of time though, and should incentivized to become independent of.

I agree, and I'm not against social safety nets. Like you, I just don't want them to be a lifetime support system. I don't even remember why I made a comment about net tax contribution, but I recognize that generalized statements don't help in an argument. Unless the argument is an aggregate analysis of groups' contribution to taxes...
