    I just gave you economic data from the federal government, I’m not an expert but its basic shit.

    Rent here is like $1600 per month for a two bedroom apartment. How are you going to afford that plus feeding two children on about $3000 per month the after tax? Add on car, heat, electricity, food, internet, and any other expenses.

    Why does your original comment come across as sexist? Hmm maybe its the giant generalization that a traditional spouse would have alimoney child payment in a way that comes across as super sarcastic. What’s wrong with a spouse who is the primary childcare provider in a relationship being entitled to those things when that relationship ends? The kids and spouse still need to eat and have their expenses fulfilled, that doesn’t change because a relationship ends which is why those things exist in the first place.

    How about this, how about you explain what your original comment meant? How about you explain how its not sexist?

      “How about you explain how it’s not sexist?”
      Because if it was a guy who chose to be a stay at home dad and his bread-winner-wife divorced him and he cried about it on the internet, I’d also say he’d get child support and alimony.
      Give your balls a tug.
