Florida Moves to Eliminate Lifelong Alimony

Following some links, we see on the list of organizations opposing the bill: Florida National Organization of Women. Gee, what a surprise there.

The main complaint seems to be that women can't delay their career (for their entire life apparently?) to stay home and take care of a child but this in itself is an affirmation of the so-called patriarchy that feminists are supposed to be fighting against.

If they truly supported equality for women and men then they would welcome that men are expected to share half of the parenting responsibility; that both partners lose out on some career advancement equally so that they can share the parenting responsibilities equally. In the event that there is a divorce, they can have 50% shared parenting and neither of their careers have suffered more than the others and so you don't have a huge career disparity and little need for alimony at all -- there's certainly never an excuse for someone to collect a check their whole life and do nothing productive to support themselves.

NOW and other feminist organizations don't want this, of course. They hypocritically want to have the female privileges of a patriarchy, but none of the downside that comes with having equal responsibility. Until we get past sexist ideas like women being with the children while men work we're going to have a hard time seeing equality between the genders.

And let's be clear: Florida lawmakers are in no way trying to abolish alimony payments.

You know they should abolish Alimony altogether. Abe Lincoln didn't "reform" or "bring predictability" to Slavery now did he?

Even if it passes the house and the senate, expect governor penis to dick it up and veto it!

A similar (if not the same) bill already passed in Florida back in 2013, and the governor vetoed it then, under pressure by FL-NOW. I expect the same (or less) will happen again.
