It doesn't help that most of those divorced men lived in hell for months on end in long divorce proceedings, after which they got bent over and !@#$ed good and hard by a family court.

Oh, and you dads out there: any clue how easy it is for you to lose your kids? I'll tell you:
"He yelled at me, and I thought he would hurt me and the kids."
Family courts are an absolute joke, and it's not just in America.
