I must say that there are some men that work hard. But, I have noticed that about 85% of men do not work as hard as women do. For years women have been put down and belittled as though all they know is how to make a home. The under dog is continually put to the test. Many women now and in the years to come are raising children by themselves, working 2-3 jobs, cleaning, doing yard work, going to school, and so on. How many men do you see doing all these things by his self?

Before I left my ex of four years I found out I was pregnant with our second child. I wasn't happy! I told my ex and his solution was that I get an abortion. I ended up leaving him when I was a month pregnant. I am now a single mother of two beautiful little girls. Mackenzie is 3 1/2 years old and Myah is 2 years old. I went through nine months of pregnancy by myself taking care of my 1 year old. My ex pays no child support nor is he a part of their life. He hasn't seen Mackenzie since she was 1 and he has never seen Myah.

I work full time at a nursing home. At one point I was working 2 full time jobs. Now, I am attending college to become an LPN, buying a house, working full time, and taking care of my girls by myself. What man do you see doing all of this? I would say about 5% of men actually work that hard and that may be pushing it. The under dog always works twice as hard to keep in the game!
