Why were there less divorces when men dominated the workplace? Because if they divorced how would the woman get by? Now she can leave abusive relationships, take there kids away from bad fathers, and so on. Not that it's always the dad, but the dad could have managed alone. He just would have been looked down upon, which women were too but once they could they apparently started to. I suppose the men are less evil when the women aren't left defenseless as well.

I gotta agree with you on this, G. Now that the playing field is becoming more and more leveled every day, more women are actually seeing that they have the power and the God given right to protect themselves, and if applicable, their kids. Here's the catch though. At least from what I am seeing, the system is almost skewed towards women. Not so say that some dead-beat dads don't deserve it but, think about it. What chances does a dad have in a custody case?
The way I see it though, either both genders get the blame or none of them do. Men have the potential to cause damage much as women can in any marriage, and vice versa.
And let's not get me started on what kind of a fucked up system we have to help with the divorce process when kids are caught in the middle of this:

None of that shit has to apply to you. If you want it all, take it all. It's that simple, nobody is the same, it's all up to you. Of course you can be happily married for 40, 50, 60 fucking years if you try hard enough at it. Too many people in this country especially think of divorce as the easy way out. The dude wants to feel some new ass and he thinks his old lady isn't as great anymore, or the chick gets drunk one night and 'accidentally' hooks up with her best friend, who just happens to be a guy...I've seen the same old story 100 times... Our generation doesn't respect the sanctity of what marriage is. Not in a religious way, but a committed way, and they're too easily available.
Make it $50,000 G's to get divorced and watch the divorce rate drop.

I couldn't agree more. Divorce is being used these days as a tool, and some times it is used in spite. If two people really do love each other, they would find a way to make it work.
