The divorce part is good: no one should be forced to stay with someone they don't like/want to be with. The freedom that comes with divorce is a beautiful thing because it means that a marriage won't last unless it's based on a healthy bond between two people (or continued choice, even if that choice is self-destructive in the end).

The part that bothers me is the part about the property: these women intentionally marry someone knowing FULL WELL that that person doesn't satisfy them enough to have a healthy, long, and fulfilled relationship/marriage. For some women, the social act of getting married is far more important than the idea of marrying someone who you're compatible with. I see it all the time. Yet they somehow want to take away with them a significant portion of the assets that existed before they even came into the picture and don't think that this is unfair in the least. It's unbelievable.

And this shit goes hand in hand. Funny how they wonder why men are so hesitant to get married. Oh I know, because they're too sociopathic and solipsistic to think 'men have a right to do what's right for themselves, too; that the well-being of men actually matters, alongside their well-being.'

Uggh. Someone shoot me.
