- So, what is so WRONG with this, Susan? After all, child support was only
- INTENDED for "support" with respect to basic necessities, not bicycles,
- ponies, and indeed, not even *college*. These *are* all considered
- privileges and luxuries, and I have no problem with Don or Alan believing
- this way. The fact that they DO feel this way, does NOT indicate any
- resentment of women, and I rather take some umbrage at your attempt to
- label these men in such a fashion.
-
- If you want your daughter to have a pony or a bicycle, or to go to college,
- what is so wrong with putting your nose to the grindstone and doing it
- yourself? My mother managed to do it herself, without support, so what's
- stopping other women from not relying on child support for things other
- than necessities?
