It's amazing how some things never change, especially the comment about a sense of justice. I don't know when I first realized it, but women don't have a sense of proportional retribution.
The concept of "eye for an eye" comes naturally to men. If anything it's a limit: anything up to an eye, for an eye. Mercy and forgiveness are always on the table.
For women, it's a starting point. At least an eye for an eye.
Look at divorce. In the case of a long term marriage with no glaring faults, I think most men would be satisfied with dividing assets 50/50, some alimony for a year or two if the woman was a SAHM. Give her the house if they have kids and she has at least 50% custody. Not happy, but satisfied.
For a woman though? They'll fight tooth and nail for everything, they're not satisfied even with 90% of assets, definitely the house, 100% custody of the children, the dog even though she doesn't like it, and alimony for life that can only ratchet up with her ex-husband's income. If he loses his job he's still on the hook for the payments based on his old income. Probably throw in some spousal and child abuse allegations for good measure.
I just can't comprehend the desire to completely ruin someone unless they well and truly fucked you over.
Even Brad Pitt was accused by Angelina Jolie of hitting his son, though it was dismissed by CPS in a matter of weeks (only because he's famous, otherwise he'd probably be tossed in jail for a few weeks or months before coming before a judge if he couldn't meet bail and find a new place to live)
Yeah, I've not heard that one ... but like it or not its true, treating them like Princesses gives them permission to Lord it over you and that's not what God intended.
Yeah I hear you ... the thing is I've studied the Bible on and off for most of my life - it does have profound wisdom that can only come from a divine God.
I don't buy into all the religions and their spin on things its too manipulative and crazy, in fact its strategic to draw you away from a faith based relationship with God.

True. In fact women's rebellious nature has been spoken of since Genesis 3 when the serpent beguiled Eve and that was the beginning of Man's downfall.
