GN, the only non paying NRP I have had to tolerate in my social circle (having made active choices not to associate with people who dont support their own children), is DHs ex, also my baby sitters mother who didnt pay maint for years, then demanded a share of the equity in FMH.
More NRPs are male, but, personally, I think, not paying, is perhaps a feature of an NRP regardless of gender.
What I have come to see, from some of the posters on the Fem Sec, is that,
I have often thought it unfair that people like my husband, who was ousted from one of his childrens lives because he was not a main carer (depite being an excellent father) would be better of in a more "feminist" world, because in a world (and this is one such example), where family freindly policies extended to both sexes, less "women" would be main carers, benefitting the womans carer, and the mans ability to care for his own child.
As a public sector worker, it is my, and only my, opinion, that Feminism as it stands, is under going huge leaps and bounds backwards, the first thing that appears to be disappearing are the huge changes in the last few decades in part time and flexible working, which although impacting on both men and women, if clearly affecting women more as a larger proportion of the part time work force is female.
I am seeing a move back to the days when caring for children was, by necessity the domain of one parent (which ever gender), because the working world, was simply not set up to assist the working parent.
