Article here. Excerpt:

'Men generally work longer hours than women and the time spent in the office compared to a decade ago is increasing.
...
Federal Government statistics show fathers of children under 15 years who worked full-time in 2004-05 spent an average of 43 hours per week at work. In comparison, women worked 39.3 hours.

"Men are coming forward now and saying 'I want my kids to be able to relate to me' ... I want to stop the cycle," he said.'

"As both parents are forced to work to pay off mortgages, increasingly children are spending less time with either parent."

"Forced"? No. No one is forced to buy a house priced beyond their means. Women wanted to work, and they now do. Economics being what it is, the markets adjusted to a 2-income model. Men work, too (women would have it no other way, as would most men). Also, don't have kids beyond your ability pay for them. Doing so is simply irresponsible.

They have been used by corp america. You exactly right about the economy adjusting for a 2 income family, why no one sees that is scary. Women wanted all this freedom, now its costing them big time.

I believe they are starting to see whats going on, they lost a whole lot of freedom when they chose to live a mans life.

Feminists lied to women everywhere when they told them that men were free and women were oppressed. Since the dawn of time men have had to shoulder the responsibilities of society. Women just never bothered to actually look over at the other side to see if the grass was actually greener before demanding access to it.
