TLDR: A small aspect, economically, why I am going my own way, why GYOW is best and maybe some light on how we are all different in going our own ways, but fundamentally the same.

​

When it comes to going your own way, and to which ever extent that may be, it is usually because we have come to a certain cost benefit analysis that in one way or another show women have a high opportunity cost. The one we all have in common I believe, regardless of how much else we engage with women, is that marriage has a higher opportunity cost than being single as a man.

That being said I am sure a lot of you are familiar with the simple balance sheet, Assets = Liability + Equity, and I feel like this is the most simple and best representation of why it is best to go your own way.

​

Making a financial statement out of a marriage, we could conclude that the woman and what ever she brings to the table is an asset, both good and bad you inherit, and visa versa including what you bring to the table as you could consider the marriage as one business entity. The way it works now however is, whether a woman is working (cash asset) or taking care of a child and the home etc... (some other asset). The problem is the liabilities they insert into the equation far outweigh the equity, this is both monetary and emotionally/physically, they are toxic assets.

​

To make a long story short, women today can leave with half the assets (including all the money as well as bullshit), but the problem is when existing within this "balance sheet" of marriage, women are providing far more liability (Taking half your assets, cheating, using your resources or telling you how to) than they commonly provide (half the assets taken, emotional turmoil, money etc..) so when they leave (which they commonly do) the total half you loose equates to half the bullshit (I suppose the collateral damage) plus half the cash and cash equivalents (often earned by you yourself or contributed more of your own for her desires) while you are left to contribute just as much with half of what you worked towards before.

What they provide I believe is where we get our independence in going our own ways, everyone's balance sheet would look different with the same situation and we value liability differently, but for the most part "woman" is in the liabilities account. #metoo/feminism etc by large is the attempt to add to their own equity and thus the total balance sheet while adding more liability.
