if women ceased to exist, debters prisons in america would be gone
[quote name="sdroa jists"]http://drhelen.blogspot.com/2012/01/estimated-50000-persons-are-kept-in.html [quote]If 50,000 on any given day is accurate, it is unbelievable how many men are being kept in jail for owing money. Many people feel that child support is a different kind of debt but I disagree. Debtors' prisons are long gone, so much so that people are actually nonchalant and even contemptuous about owing others money. They know that jail is not an option for them. I believe that the jails are full of fathers because of their sex exclusively. We have a higher percentage of deadbeat moms, but few are held accountable and I doubt that many, if any, of the 50,000 in jail on any given day are female. Why does our society allow men to be thrown in jail this way? Are there that many chivalrous men and white knights like Thomas out there who believe that men's rights end when it comes to reproduction? Are there that many totalitarian women out there who believe that a man in jail is par for the course and a source of smug satisfaction? Given how many of our nation's men sit in jail over child support, I guess the answer is a resounding "yes." We continue to legalize misandry but at what cost?[/quote]
