The guys around me from work to social share the sentiment: stay away from them and/or be extremely vigilant. Good job FEMINISM!!! I know most women are tortured by this new world order of things also.

[where her co-workers were all divorced women. Within 6 months, my wife had a midlife crisis and decided she didn’t want to be married anymore]

I’m not surprised. Sounds like you see where it started. Our culture has a lot of landmines. I’m very sorry to say.

Sure, I get it. Because they are wrong about the flu shot, they also must be wrong about this.

Excellent work there.

“Today, most women can take care of themselves and those who can’t have the federal government helping them, so they don’t NEED a man to take care of them financially.”

Which is a very, very, **very** bad thing.

2. Women fall in love with mens money and status, not the man. They discard the man but the thing they have always loved, the money, that they keep around.

It's not the money.....it's the stuff!

The good news is, there’s only a 95% chance she’ll turn out like her mother!

You can still go with “Al Bundy”.

BTW, I hope the Dodge is doing well.

what a load of BS.....

we KNOW that American males sperm counts are lower and we KNOW that their testosterone levels are lower and we KNOW that Viagra etc are big time drugs and yet we are to believe that American females are the problem?.....right....

so very sick of this continuous diatribe against women....

me thinks those who hate women are just covering up for their homosexuality...those poor liddle pansy men..

I would say that women are in a better position in a marriage. They don’t have to have kids if they don’t want to, they can cancel it at any time and run away with the money. That’s on top of whatever she can earn on her own.

The Left has empowered women through divorce laws to loot the wealth of men. Men can easily get thrown out of their own home at the drop of a hat.

Now I won’t say that there aren’t shrewd abusive men who make marriage and divorce hell for good women. I’ve personally seen that. If there are kids, then a woman’s life becomes more difficult as a single mother. Of course being a single father without access to his kids has to be a really hard pill to swallow.

The long and short of this is that the legal profession has screwed is all.

And people have a right to their opinion, even when it disagrees with nasty board bullies like yourself.

Sorry, I saw that quoted a few times on the internet but all the references seem to dead end at https://www.statisticbrain.com/marriage-statistics (which I didn't link because Windows Defender said it tried to load a trojan) without any links to an actual CDC report. A 93% divorce rate matches neither my experience nor the fact that the marriage rate is about twice the divorce rate (6.9 vs 3.2 per 1000 respectively). Also an actual CDC page states that 36% of first marriages among women 15-44 years of age suffer from some type of "disruption" (which is defined as either a separation, divorce or death) in the first ten years.

Do you have a link to the actual CDC report you quote? The numbers just make no sense.

“me thinks those who hate women are just covering up for their homosexuality...those poor liddle pansy men.”

That’s exactly the kind of smarmy crap that makes American women so unbearably obnoxious. (Exceptions stipulated.)

We got married 41 years ago at age 25. I would do it again..... with her. No other woman.

If I were 25 now I would seriously consider avoiding marriage.

In general, our society now is pretty anti male and the judicial system is very stacked against men. Are there good women? I’m sure there are. Do women get the short end of the stick? Yes. Nevertheless, the odds are overwhelming in their favor. Fact.
