I believe that man is the major cause of this problem. So why would you even want to hear what a man has to say?

Well, this man has heard what many women have said, and stands with them.   And I believe that if more men had this perspective, then there wouldn't be as much of a problem.   The support system we've created has become fully dysfunctional.

Just because you may belong to a very small percent, that does not make you any less significant.

I can't believe how something mostly entered into with hopes and dreams, could suddenly turn sour.  But I'd say it probably has something to do with a man.  Though acknowledging the other small percent, those cases are entirely the result of a man, and don't start out with dreams and aspirations, but with a nightmare.

I'm not talking about attempting to find some sunken treasure, only to encounter unforeseen difficulties ...and then having to decide whether or not to abort the mission.

Nor am I talking about a NASA mission, judging whether weather conditions are favorable, and if not, the lift-off is postponed.   It's more like a rocket leaving earth for a space station, with vital supplies needed for the survival of those already there.

It was many years ago; I think I was only a year or two out of college.  I read of a law that supposedly existed within a certain judges jurisdiction.

Are we united on this one?

I remember how totally insane I felt the law was ...and I found it disturbingly difficult to even believe that a law like the one described in print before me could even exist in such a civilized society such as the United States.

The law stated that if a person was under 18 years of age, and had committed a crime, the judge could excuse him from any obligation and dismiss the charges against him ...if it was judicially decided that the person was presently working towards an education to achieve a goal of employment in an honorable position in society.
