They always have to pay child support and sometimes alimony. I know women who dont even have to work because of this. While men have to work twice as hard.
Totally agree with this and it's something I've complained about for years. This system was brilliant when it first started. Women couldn't work/earn a living on their own, men were often the ones initiating the divorces or causing them through affairs or abandonment. Women needed that guarantee and safety net.
I still believe in having this system in place, but it needs actual work to go into it. Women often end up with nothing after divorce because everything was in the husband's name. They end up sacrificing careers to have children, so at best they've got a giant gap in their resume that makes companies unwilling to hire them, or they have next to no work experience to begin with if they married young. Their best shots at a job are minimum wage and it's simply not enough to get by on.
But a lot of POS women have wised up to how the system works and they lie and manipulate it. That's what needs to stop.
The system would be good if it were fair. If actual individual attention were paid to these cases instead of passing everything through a cookie cutter, those types of women would get exactly how little they deserve and the men would stop getting screwed over. But the government and the lawyers and the courts don't want to put in that kind of effort, so often innocent lives are destroyed as a result. Mine sure was, which is crazy because everyone argues that women basically win by default. That's just not always true.
Maybe if society was truly even, without saftey nets, women would have it super hard. Especially single mothers.
I kind of feel like being a single mother is the golden ticket. If you don't have kids, you're SOL. At least it feels that way. Because everything you're saying about women having better access to healthcare and safety nets...maybe it's just not true in my state if you don't have kids, I don't know. I'm in a red state but really blue city, so you'd think it would be different. But I reached out everywhere for help and no one could. The systems were badly backlogged, for starters.
I did a lot of studying after experiencing what I did and it seems like abuse towards women is waaaay worse than it seems like it is. With resources across all major cities in the US clogged, it's believable.
Agree with the rest of what you said, too. Men of my generation are weak. I don't like being more handy than men I meet. I can fix plumbing, appliances, do home repairs, etc. A lot of men don't seem capable of that anymore, and kudos to the ones that are.
I've long had a theory that it's in the food. My generation seems riddled with mental health issues, and I'm no exception. Something happened between the boomers and the millenials that started wrecking loads of us, conveniently all in ways that make us more reliant upon the government.
Sorry for the incorrect assumption.
