I just turned 48 and as I get older I become more aware of the 'male privilege & sense of entitlement' that's prevalent in our society. We teach it to our children and it is a massive problem as the huge increase in domestic violence shows. Our governments soloution, a new prison in two states opening next year, but no education or attempt to tackle the problem or ask why its happening. A good example is gambling. Most people think it's perfectly acceptable to kill thousands of horses and dogs each year when they stop running fast enough. What sort of society thinks this is ok when it is possible to control dog ownership so well there is never strays as some Europe countries boast, often the same places that have much softer drug laws & much less crime & addiction. Australian politicians are for the most part,pathetic puppets.

The reason my mum chased us with the broken stick was because she broke it on my brother, it used to be her broom

Back in my day...
apprenticeships were a great fallback for those who didn't want to do the university challenge.

There was nothing wrong back in my day... It is you youngsters that want everything yesterday but want us poor buggers to pay for it.

It's quite sad there's not alot of help out for males struggling with life , divorce and when life throws you a curve ball. I saw my father struggle for years with his 2 younger sons ( stepbrothers to me ) to form a relationship with them. And this was due to his ex wife verbal abusing and intimidating my father phone over the phone, and that has cost him the relationship with his sons. The only thing the government was interested in my father at the time, was him paying child support. For what I've experienced in life , I'll make sure my sons grow up with the the right attitude in life . Respect, work hard and always stand up for what you believe in. Rgs Jason |

If its a bust up with the missus, if you've got kids then expect to get fisted in the family court, never ends well for us.

Problem is, I've tried to be fair and reasonable on several occasions and the responses and demands are bordering on the stupidly ridiculous. I've supported her and her family to the tune of much more than what the big number in your sig States (with paper trail as evidence) and she is living the high life since separation driving my car and living in the unit I bought her while I'm living like a begger. There are times that i haven't seen my daughter for a month - including father's day this year. Why? Because she can. Not a problem. She is doing this because she thinks I'm broke. That's fine, technically I am. And she knows this. But my family are rallying behind me and supporting in every way possible. I'm just doing what I have to do to give our daughter the best future possible and for me to continue my life with the dignity and respect I deserve. And you know what. If I try and fail it'sfar better than giving up and hating myself for not trying.

It isn't a male/white privilege thing at all. A lot of society's ills stem from the incessant effort at emasculating men and turning them into sperm donors and nothing else. The social justice warrior (SJW) set and the PC brigade are hell bent on turning what was once the most egalitarian country in the world into a bland and banal pastiche of mediocrity and stupor.
And jpdblue is spot on, the parents failed their children and the result is the mass of mouth breathers behind the wheel, in management positions and ensconced in the bureaucracy we see today. But to be fair, it isn't that the parents failed on purpose or were malicious in their actions. The SJW/PC crowd did such a good job of convincing them to wash their hands of the responsibility of bringing their children up to the mass media and the schools/teachers. We need to stop protecting (and rewarding) idiots and their stupidity.
