Why getting hitched is the real hitch for women
By Carol Sarler

(edit)

I'm especially amused by this whine in the article:
"At the other end of the financial scale, new indignities are piling up.
In my own social circle we already have three instances of this: the
woman married in the time-honoured way. Fuelled by that crazy little
thing called love, houses were bought in joint names. Then, taking
advantage of evolving career opportunities for women, the woman became
the main breadwinner; he idled around, she did the day job as well as
raising the children, until he not only buggered off with another but
took with him half of the value of the home for which she had
effectively paid everything, leaving her in significantly reduced
circumstances.

So what, I hear you say. That has been happening to men for years. And
so it has Ð but men have very, very rarely been left to share those
reduced circumstances with the children. Yet again, the new order merges
badly with the old: the new lets her earn the assets he strips; the old
says that nappies are still her job, not his. So she must now rue that
if only she had kept all that was hers for herself, never cementing a
partnership, what a wiser, wealthier gal she©?d have been. "

Translation: Boo hoo! Women used to get the children AND milk a man for
money and now she can count on the fingers of one hand women who don't
profit financially from a divorce.

That's ok Mark. There are many other arrangements women can make,
toward their own advantage. :-)

Apparently, statistics show that deadbeat dads and domestic violence is
on the rise. :-)

In the end, what this article shows
is that she's just not that into you. :-)

Au contrare: This gripe shows that such women were so desperate that
they needed to date men who earned less than them. The women of your
family could give them tips on that. :-)

One thing about these articles that they all have in common is that they
take the smallest problems women have, such as a few not profiting from
a divorce, and bellyache about them as if they're the end of the world
even as they say men commonly have problems.

Again, Mark. Women don't have to have whatever problems you think they
should have to simply say no. :-)

Er, how did they say "no" if they got taken advantage of in a divorce?

That's what I've been telling you
all along....well....you already knew it since you had to go to Russia
for love.

You mean allegedly went to Russia for love. :-)
