Misandry is real, misandry is out there...

Yes, I do believe that the cruelty and unfairness that can happen to a man is not always the result of blind chance, the misfortunes that unintentionally befall practically everyone to some degree. I do not blind myself to causes, the intent of the persons who inflicted the cruelty or unfairness.

In this case, it should have occurred to wife's lawyer that he/she was going too far. It didn't.

While as you say, "hatred of men did not draft our terribly lopsided divorce statutes" you don't actually know that. That is quite a bit of mind reading. Many people over many years contributed. And just because they were mostly men doesn't mean they weren't prejudiced against men, just as women can be prejudiced against women. See the Goldberg study. I don't think the laws themselves are to blame, at least in this state, where the complexity of them gives a lot of wiggle room. It is in their current implementation. It isn't what they do for children, it is what they do to men. And, again, the lack of a speedy trial.

Is there "a nebulous mob of hateful feminists"? Would you like to see some golden oldies from DU here? How about visiting a family law courthouse?

As far as how to help the Pauls who are still living, I'd agree that prattling on about his victimization is no better than ridicule. What I suggest is kindness and respect. I did so, but too little too late.
