I think a lot of the people who dislike him have spent a lot of time posting about not liking him. That is not the same as universally disliked.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
