know or even care what the word "mysandry" means. We generally dont even think about it.

what do a LOT of men care about?

the fucked up family court system
no fault divorce
lifetime alimony

I personally know many men that will not be able to retire because of these things. They will work till they drop. They are slaves to the system.
