I often wonder if politicos like the rep. from Indiana say such stupid things ("...men have been irresponsible and women have been heroic") because they actually believe them, or because as men they'll be pilloried if they say anything else. I wonder if the problem is that nobody knows the truth, or the problem is that everybody knows what will get them elected.
The truth, of course, is that there are irresponsible deadbeat dads out there, but that there are also vicious, vindictive moms, and for that matter moms who just couldn't care less about their kids. Do politicians never mention these latter cases because they don't know about them, or because they know that, as men, mentioning them is political suicide?
