There are double standards, some favor men some favor women. The statement that women do NOT have equal rights is true, plain and simple. Sometimes men get the better end of the deal, other times women get the better. When it comes to the legal system, women usually are favored over men. This holds true for rape, assault, divorce settlements to name a few. Some are justified whereas others are improperly biased, it's never perfect.
I don't want kids all that bad, but if I ever have kids them dammit one of us is going to stay home and raise them. I can be flexible on very much in my life, but I think it is very important for children to be raised by their own to parents. Having children is not a simple priviledge, it is a gigantic responsibility. I see people take better care of their dogs and cats than their own children. That's just sad. We are innately social beings but the bond with the family runs very deep within us. Having someone else raise our kids undermines the bond of the family. I'd be more than happy to stay home and raise the kids (if I can be convinced to have them in the first place). I can cook, clean, and perform varying other tasks. My dream in life is to get a sugar momma to earn money while I can stay home. It may sound bad, but really I don't think it is. But if my wife wants to stay home, I totally support her. If she wants to work, I totally support her. But I won't let both of us work just so we can live a "comfortable lifestyle" and raise our kids rich or something. You can be rich without any money. One must make sacrifices for the children, a career is merely one of those offerings on the sacrifice table.
I was raised in varying locations throughout the world. Every 3-4 years I moved, got new friends, learned a new place, then moved again. The main thing keeping me sane is that I have a loving family that has always been there for each other. No matter what happens in my life I can always fall back on my family. I recognize that not everybody has been blessed with such a fortunate upbringing. However I also recognize that a lot of parents didn't try hard enough to make their family be a true family rather than a collection of strangers living under one roof. Too many people get married for all the wrong reasons or at the wrong time which, in short, explains the divorce rate. People get married out of lust and call it love. People think they know someone when they really don't. If a guy or a girl has a propencity to cheat repeatedly, that's something you ought to be aware of before getting married. People get so caught up in the lust of their "love" that they are blind to the fallacies and shortcomings of their partner.
End of rant.
