Kevin Federline-andry: The most pressing men's human rights issue of our age?

Presented, without comment — ok, besides this comment, and the comment in the title of the post — is this headline from the Men’s Rights subreddit:

Kevin Federline received $13 million from his divorce with Brittany Spears. Would he have gotten more if genders swapped?

Thanks once again to AgainstMensRights for finding this one.

Also, it’s BRITNEY. Not Brittany. Britney. One T, followed by NEY. B-R-I-T-N-E-Y. It’s not hard to remember.

With the weather we’ve been having lately I’ve been tempted to hug the coffee urn.

Us too. Its better now but we chose to evacuate .No power (heat or light ) after 16 hours we left.. I have a friend still with no power or heat going on 3 days.

We have a gas stove though.I was never without coffee!!! Tee hee…Instant isn’t that bad!

I ended up reading about the calcium chloride neutering they are offering some vets (AFAIK, vets in areas without the equipment or money to do traditional neutering). It sounds… very strange.

I got my babies from a shelter than spays/neuters all their cats before sending them out, and Pan even has the ear tat to prove it (I call it his gang tattoo). I even know the vet that might have spayed Jade*. She works at a spay/neuter clinic in town. (Same vet as above, actually, with the tatting thread issue.) But if they hadn’t been spayed or neutered… it would have been 200-250 dollars for me to get them fixed. (Their adoption fee was $60. I consider that a steal.) So I could see low-income people in the US also maybe wanting that.

*She doesn’t have an ear tat. That is a different vet

Also, it’s not about Kevin Federline, as futrelle knows very well. Kevin Federline got $13 million, OK- but your average Joe Schmo, in your average divorce, would get $13. And there are more Joe Schmos than Kevin Federlines.

Fail harder next time, fellas.

I’m not going to do your work for you. It’s all available on the internet, little thing called “Google”. Or you could just go directly to avoiceformen.com.

Umm, no. That’s definitely your work. You made the assertion, you back it up.

RE divorce law in regards to alimony

In addition, women are expected under a patriarchal society to make time for children. This means that she has less earning potential, because she must take time off in order to care for said children, which means less money.

I have an opening, a critter unspoken for, so I could totally do a troll! Confession, though, I’d probably do a troll in the way of those horrifying little troll dolls that were big in the early 90s.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@Alice: Lol. This guy tells us to look up his claim, and then you find something debunking it. Doing what an MRA says is misandry.

(Actually those horrible things were around in the 60s. My brother had a couple. I loathed ’em, not least because they had no craniums.)

The funniest part is, the best way to end any gender disparity in alimony is by MORE EQUALITY, which is what feminism is fighting for.

Cthulhu’s Intern – *bows* In the eyes of the MRAs, I am a misandric bitch, and I’m proud of it. *nod*

But then these guys couldn’t fantasize about women starving on the street like Victorian urchins if they don’t want to fuck them any more, and where’s the fun in that?

There’s no woman-hating at avoiceformen.com. There’s some well-earned anger and heated jocularity, which no doubt to you people is MISOGYNIST!!!1111!11! Can’t have men having their own space to discuss their issues, can you now?

And now, look at him. He’s just going to go off on the subject we barely mentioned instead of the main idea.

Oh, for fuck’s sake. What is it with these MRA types expecting feminists to do all the work for them? “Why haven’t feminists opened up any men’s shelters? Why won’t feminists do the research to support my argument for me?”

By the way, did I mention the site’s URL? Let me type that out again.

No women hating? Oh YEAH?

Emphasis on the viral. Anyone got any blog Valtrex?

There’s a difference between heated discussion and jocular bonding on the one hand, and “hatred” on the other. I have never seen an ounce of hatred at avoiceformen.com, but I’ll grant I have seen a lot of frustration and some heated hyperbole. These, however, are not equivalent.

He could do better than that when it comes to advertising.

Well, we all know they hate feminists. I’m always amazed at how often they let the mask slip and admit they hate all women, though. Their recent threads on how women are destroying the environment were pretty illuminating.
