(15,774 posts)on WS get off without penalty and get bonuses to boot- this is one American that does not judge those that have to walk away from a mortgage too harshly and would do it myself if it was the only way out. Not that I like to or that it would be the first option, but I run my household like a business and well, sometimes business' go bankrupt.
This is the same social pressure that is used to keep women in line by guilting them. Church leaders that for years encourage battered women to go back to their abusive spouses, career consulars that would direct women into female occupation instead of letting them use their natural gifts like mechanical engineering or other masculine areas, insisting that girls be virgins before marriage. The list goes on.
I am tired of a double standard PERIOD. A crack head steal over a certain amount in the thousands and he get prison time measured in years. Mozillo, Dimon, Godwin steal millions and they don't even get a slap on the wrist.
