Woman as parasitic in marriage is pretty rare from what I see.

I have no data on how many married women are parasites; but I do have the facts that the law is flat-out biased in favor of women; without regard to the reasons for divorce. The article stated that people are not getting married, and I offered several reasons why. Among them is that the law allows (thereby encourages) women to be parasites.

Now, you may not know of any examples of this; but I do. But examples are simply our 'versions' of what happened between a couple to cause the divorce, and there are 2 sides to that story. And the truth is that outsiders will never 'really' know the true causes.

My beef is with the law that effectively makes man a piece of property that may be owned, have liens placed against, and used without redress, recourse or fair representation. As I previously stated, a wife can get the most expensive laywer her husband's income can afford; he can get what ever is left over. Either way, he will pay for both attorneys at the end of the day. The wife will walk away with the house, kids, car and a portion of his retirement, his savings and in some states, a lien against whatever he earns for the rest of his life. If that isn't legally santioned slavery, what is? Then, women wonder why men are not hesitant to sign their lives away to a lifetime of marriage/slavery.

Did it ever occur to you that the laws, as you describe them, are the fault of men?

There was a time when women, who were expected to stay home and when hubby got bored would dump her and get everything leaving the poor woman with nothing.

But the reality is that more married women work outside the home than ever before. My grandmother has worked in 50 years- she worked while she was married for the first four year, then when she and my grandfather started a family she stayed at home and has been a housewife ever since. This was in 1953- today that is nearly unheard of. Most women who stay at home with their children go back to work at some point. Alimony is harder to get now than it was in the past- women are expected to support themselves.
