Pyrite: Eye of the storm?

[Pyrite]

Pyrite, do you see any correlation here? Seeing other people's points of view is not limited to your W. It's a way of relating to everyone. Unless you are offering statistics from research studies, your FACT remains your point of view. For you to invalidate every woman here with a casual "sorry, ladies", needs a re-think. (Also, originally, we were talking financially and your statement seems to have shifted to custody, not the same thing at all.)

I'm rooting for you, Pyrite. I like the FACT that you keep posting, that you seems to be listening. You just need some time to get the hang of putting it all into practice. Keep at it.

point taken - but as some one endures international peer review I am certainly no stranger to the concept and rigorously tested on this.

I can dig up monstrous statistics to back me up on the custody. I have read them before. In so far as property - it is less straight forward to begin with. and you are right that my response was out of step in that regard

inavalidating - i think you have noted that it is not exactly invalidating if "their" opinion is factually incorrect. Literally I suppose it is (even the word "literally" now has different definitions in different dictionaries) still invalidating. And in polite conversation I just keep my mouth shut. Especially in circles where I dont really care what they think anyway.

The "ladies" who commented were noting an exception to a generalisation. This does not invalidate the generalisation. Which is what i was defending. I also qualified this as the position i know to be true here. I suspect in most places. Why is another story, and I actually dont disagree. Mothers are generally the natural choice to be the full time carers.

anyway, my first post after a trying night. sorry for you to cop the brunt. thanks for the encouragement. please read my next post as well - i am determined to keep posting, keep listening, keep learning.
