No offense, but that view is extremely myopic.

All men are evil and women don't do anything wrong in your eyes I guess. I think you may need to go see the eye Doc.

Do you tend to be a dictator or can you be a team player?
I am still married to my first wife. We are still very much in love and thankful for one another. We are traditionalists. We despise feminism. Her more than me. It is our belief that it is one of the biggest lies foisted upon the west. My wife works a very light part time job so I am the breadwinner. She takes care of most of the household duties. Expectations are set by hundreds of years of hundreds and hundreds of years of tradition and our upbringing. Men are better at certain things and women are better at other things. We tend to stick to our lanes or strong suits. We believe women are far superior socially. Their social iq is vastly superior to a man's. Men tend to be more logical in their problem solving and don't let emotions drive outcomes as much as women do. At the end of the day we believe the man is the head of the household but it is not a dictatorship in any way shape or form. I used to buy into a lot of this post modern feminism crap when I was younger but age has given me clarity and I/we see it as terribly destructive to the family structure.

No, any partner in a marriage should be free to leave abuse? Do you disagree?

I'm glad you found something that works for you individually. But it is cruel folly to believe your way is the only way or the best way for others.

Dont make bad business decisions (like having a stay at home wife) and you wont get screwed.
How about you do you, and let every one else live their own life?

I preferred that my wife not have to work; that was not my choice as I don't micromanage my wife, but I made that choice possible for her and we both agreed that remaining home was the best choice. Perhaps you have a problem with that. Too bad. If it's beyond you or your comprehension, also too bad.

Deserve to pay alimony? That's really not your concern. That's for a mutual call based on mediation, or for a judge to say.

If you think men haven't been "screwed" in a divoce, then you haven't ever been divorced.

A wife staying home isn't a "business decision." It's a life choice. Don't confuse the two.

Most people don't marry and structure their marriage based on dissolution, any more than you dust off your coffin every time you go fly. THINK.

well said. buying into feminism is a way for some guys to pump and dump, what kind of dude sincerely buy that crap? If you don’t have an old school woman, you are missing out big time.

One of the original writers/editors of Cosmopolitan Magazine who recently found religion and is now a Catholic has so much remorse for what she and her female colleagues did to the American housewife starting in the 60's. I had no idea but women are 80% of the consumer base and Madison Ave. figured out that if they could convince a large portion of these women to leave their husbands and children they could unlock this new revenue stream. Much of the drivel she and her colleagues wrote was pure fantasy by her own admission. This lie has perpetuated itself into today's feminism and mixed with social media it is so absolutely toxic for everyone especially women. Thanks to the data disclosed by Tinder and Bumble, etc. we have figured out that the women on these app's are all chasing the same 10% of men. Most women have pretty common standards and the attention they get from Chad and Tyrone is mistook for real love or affection and they continuously get pumped and dumped. Before they know it, they are 35 and miserably unhappy by their own admission. Some escape without having children, thankfully, but all too often they end up having some kids and then they and their children pay the price. Men have to work to earn their value in the world in order to provide for their families. Women, to a large part, are to preserve their purity and value. The old saying is true, women control access to sex and men control access to relationships. If women give away sex for free then why would a man take her seriously for long term relationships? Most won't because they know it is an L for them long term.
