Also, faqs, for someone who has prepared since age 7 to be a super genius Marine ninja police officer marksman multi-tab internet guru, I find it curious that you did not know that Canadians speak English, oftentimes even better than many Americans do.

.... The POINT was that it's a dual language country, French and English (of course depending on area and also the degree), thus it's not "unusual" for imperfect wording to be used. Nevertheless, anyone reading it knows what was meant, even if not perfectly grammatically correct.

No, that wasn't the point, but thanks for trying to blame your confusion on French-speaking Canadians, now.

Judging by your posts, I'm still not sure if English is your first language.

When were women finally allowed in combat on the front line of war?
Are women required to sign up for the draft?
Who was responsible for these choices? (hint: it's men)


Alimony is largely a thing of the past. Permanent alimony has pretty much gone the way of the dodo.
The fact is that women are 44% more likely to fallinto poverty post-divorce then men.
85% of mothers leave the workforce to raise children. Alimony is typically only awarded to a parent who lost their skills by leaving the workforce to raise children.

Oh, and men are more likely to use a GUN when they attempt suicide. That is why they succeed far more than women. In order to lower that number we would have to do something about guns.

Yep, the same men who didn't want to lose in battle.

Plus, if you paid attention, after the recent "opening up of all" combat positions to all sexes there were nothing but crickets in line for women to change their MOS to a "front-line" combat position.
(another spoiler alert: only the recent "lessening" of requirements have allowed for a incredibly minor quantity of women to pass the physical requirements for "front-line" combat in the army, with no chance of it happening in the Marines).

Yawn - barely noticed how inaccurate this post was, because of how overtly inaccurate it was.
Reforming alimony does not relegate it to the past - it is still a pretty good career choice for women.

And lest ye forget that child support is where the money is at, and women overwhelmingly get custody.

Access to guns is not defining factor for this difference...most conceptions blame vanity.

Would you mind sourcing that? The Ranger cadre are on record stating the standards weren't dropped. The females were allowed to recycle, but many males are too.

Sure, we're more or less enlightened these days, but even with all our knowledge, altruism, and progressiveness dudes want to pass on their genetic material (f***) and to do that to the best of their ability they tend to dominate in business and government.

That's how the liberal elites do it. You win elections with talk about compassion and helping the poor. Then you tax the living hell out of those of us working to live month to month while you retire at 44.

YOU MAKE SIX FIGURES! GOOD GOD. If anyone has the opportunity to get ahead it's you.

Guess what? My husband is a high school drop out and we are on track to retire by 45 years old, if we want.

The fact that you live month to month is on you.

It has nothing to do with access to guns. Women and men choose different methods of suicide.

If JM is correct that you make 6 figures, then does it cross your mind that you've made stupid decisions?

You live month to month? That's on you, dude. I penny pinched, invested, saved, avoided debt, bought and sold houses, and made informed financial decisions (with the one exception of that CONDO AT THE GULF damned SHORES, AAAAARRRGH!!!!). It's been a tough go, but it paid off and I'm good to go now. You're goddamn right work is an option for me, why aren't you bitching about the Martin Shkreli's of the world?
