Really? How about having a UN committee to analyze men’s rights in Antigua? What about a UN committee to analyze all the false allegations made against men in Antigua? What about a UN committee to analyze how many women beat men, steal from men and hurt men every year in Antigua? Thanks!
If a man allows a woman to beat him, he deserves it.
That will teach him not to knuckle and play stupid games.
I agree with you Hypocrisy
