[QUOTE=knight rose;39628][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Whew... I kinda get where you guys are going with this and I agree with the general viewpoint that in todays day and age its best to get a prenup.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]But in a forum such as ours I think there is a case to be made for women. We know how malleable women are once they are into you. They will literally slut themselves, cry their hearts out and do things for you that will stagger imagination. (Just like she will slut herself, cry her heart out and do things for another guy that will stagger imagination if she is into that guy even though she is your GF or wife) Women are capable of that. It’s built into their femininity. It’s who they are. The law was made to protect the asshole from taking advantage of a woman once she has given herself to him in a complete and total way. Granted that this seldom happens today…but that’s how laws are written…i.e. to punish the 1% who violate it. The judge does not know all the intimate details of what happened in the marriage and does not have the time or the inclination to know if he is an asshole or a genuine guy. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]But I am with you guys. The ring was a bit too much. my .02.[/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE]
What about the population of women that cheat on their husband, dump them for another man, have children with other men while married, and then end up getting child support, alimony, and a free divorce.
Where's the law to protect those men?
Our legal system in America was created with the intent that ALL individuals are viewed equally under the law. So why the preferential treatment for the highly emotional, poor women that get duped by a sauve man. That's such bullshit man.
Your 1% argument is way off. Laws are not made to protect the innocent and punish the guilty instead they're made to encourage individuals to comply with whatever demands that society in large deems virtuous and right. Unfortunately, Western society views the independent woman as virtuous and right and, as such, has stacked the courts and law in their favor to make it easier for them to leave a man even if it is at the cost to the man, even if the man has done nothing wrong, even if the man is actually the virtuous and right one in the entire fucked up situation.
I'm becoming more and more convinced that the courts are set up like this to destroy the family and the idea of personal responsibility so that the state becomes the source of income and security. The state WANTS women to be divorced with a child because this means that the state gets to get involved in a personal matter, control it, and ultimately be viewed as the savior of the woman's existence thus perpetuating the state's agenda of command and control over it's citizens. They WANT women to rely on them for their livelihood it gives the state power and purpose and allows it to grow.
