I'm so angry. I told my 'male' friend last night that I had a job interview and after congratulating me he made some underhand comment about me getting fill time pay for part time hours, unlike him who has to "slave" for 40 hours a week.
To cut a long story short it erupted into a row where he was saying stuff like "single mothers think the world owes them just because they happen to have kids...if they'd kept their legs shut they wouldn't be in this position to start with, why should the tax payer help them out". He called single parents "baby machines" and said the whole problem with Britain is that people don't work at relationships, they just break up because they know that the tax payer will provide for them . I asked him what, for instance, battered women should do and he said they shouldn't have kids with violent people that the term domestic violence is used too readily when half the time its just the woman whinging that everything doesn't go her way. I asked about couples who have affairs, he said they should stay together and go through relate.
Apparantly if people planned properly there would be no single parents. He then went on to say that if single parents insist on being single they should get a loan rather than "tons" of tax credits to see them through until they are able to pay back their debt to society.
Half of it was so nazi'sh I actually began to wonder if he was just trying to wind me up. This is a bloke that has only ever had one serious relationship and that ended because he was an immature twat and was mean to her kids.
