The comments are wonderful on that thread. Calling the men leeches and all sorts of deliciousness all the while not considering how often this happens to men.

michaelklr · 2020-02-23T18:00:19+00:00

Sounds like she doesn’t believe in equal rights.

Lion_amongst_gods · 2020-02-23T19:12:26+00:00

Woah woah woah woah woah fuckin woah... Isn't that dude entitled to that money because of all the "unpaid labour" he did as a house-husband? That's how it works, right?

BramblEdge · 2020-02-23T17:11:04+00:00

I hope she enjoys her newly-earned male privilege.

DubsPackage · 2020-02-23T19:28:14+00:00

Marriage is "our" money, right?

Or does that only apply when women cash out?

Enjoy your male privilege asshole.

deathmagic945 · 2020-02-23T17:21:07+00:00

LOL. Getting a taste of what so many men go through and she doesn’t like it. Welcome to the world men experience every day.

On the bright side, the fact that this is happening to one woman might lead to more states tackling it.

Alpha Women, Beta Men

Once Anna sought a divorce—“You know what my lawyer called him? A parasite”—she, like many other women in her position, was in for a shock. Divorce lawyer Harriet Newman Cohen explains, “The law is supposed to be gender-blind. Therefore, when a marriage is breaking up at the insistence of either the breadwinning wife or the supported husband, the lawyer has to apprise the client that when a big-earner wife comes in, the court bends over backward to be gender-neutral, and it is possible the bum is going to be rewarded for sitting on his hands. You do a flip-flop and make believe she is a guy.”

More often than not, this doesn’t involve alimony. “A lot of men, I’ve noticed, feel embarrassed to ask for alimony,” says Ken Neumann, since they already know their partner’s reaction. “The wife’s idea is, ‘You’re not going to ask for alimony, are you? It’s bad enough I was making more than you.’ ”

Shoe, meet other foot.

They want “equality” but don’t want to touch that provider gender role that is forced on men.

The_Adeptest_Astarte · 2020-02-24T01:11:10+00:00

This is like /r/selfawarewolves level stuff.

Fucking incredible

alc0 · 2020-02-23T21:56:00+00:00

I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m the near future laws will be made to make alimony something only dudes pay.

LegendaryEmu1 · 2020-02-24T01:46:19+00:00

Wow, has a typically male problem, still calls men who would agree with her misogynists.

If its such an atypical problem, why wouldn't you go to the group that it IS a typical problem for?

*sigh*

welcome to the party

How the turns have tabled or something

mgtowolf · 2020-02-23T23:15:29+00:00

This isn't the equality pie I wanted to eat!

The_Best_01 · 2020-02-24T06:24:14+00:00

Not exactly "progress" but it's hilarious how hypocritical and oblivious she is.

LifeAboutNothing · 2020-02-23T21:58:23+00:00

Doesn't feel fair does it o well girl it's your life now.

xNOM · 2020-02-23T23:38:01+00:00

I always find it slightly disgusting how women have feelings about money.

iDidntCatchTheJoke · 2020-02-24T01:07:53+00:00

Welcome to being a male.

Silva_Shadow · 2020-02-24T08:54:07+00:00

Aww poor baby, that's just absolutely beautiful.

Also I bet he wasn't abusive at all, he was just a beta blue pill she forced into being a stay at home dad because of what feminism taught her, and* she ended up getting the tingles for some other man at her work place.

Svenskbtch · 2020-02-24T11:36:55+00:00

So basically what happened was this: Women wanted equality, which is fine. But this got tangled up with the role of feminism, at least implicitly, as a lobby for women.

Against this backdrop, feminism pushed through reforms - but in many cases only to the extent that women stood to benefit. In other words, no push for extending the draft to women and resistance to shared custody and spousal alimony (at least in the Anglo world after NOW dropped their support for these issues as the radical feminists of the 70s grew up and found themselves in positions where they stood to benefit from these traditional privileges).

At the same time, it was difficult to harmonise the cry for equality with explicit sexism in law. So alimony and child support and college admissions quotas were made gender neutral. That was fine, as from the perspective of the 70s, it was hard to think that women did not stand to benefit overwhelmingly compared to men.

Fast forward to now. In Sweden, most people who suffer from university admissions quotas are women - in some cases, overwhelmingly so: women have to perform much better than men to access female-dominated fields of study such as psychology and veterinary school.

This is very hard for women to stomach. This is not only because they are selfish, but because it is such a contrast to how they were brought up. Pay for a man you are not married to anymore? Above and beyond child support? I agree it is bizarre, but that is more because permanent (temporary I think is acceptable for stay at home spouses that need some time to establish themselves in the labour market; and of course divorces that take place close to retirement age with non-working spouses should not leave the latter destitute) alimony is such an anachronism. It assumes wholesale that one gender is incapable of working full-time and supporting themselves.

Even more bizarrely, in many cases alimony creates incentives not to work, as additional income reduces your right to alimony, and not to marry again. How is that good for.... basically anyone?

Whats good for the goose should be good for the gander.

Roguta · 2020-02-24T07:18:36+00:00

The level of hipocrisy and complete and utter lack of self-awareness is staggerig, but does that surprise anyone at this point?

Just look at the comments that got removed... That sub is just another sexist mod fap at male hatred. The subs fap to male hatred too when you consider the voting on that whole thread.

2020-02-24T04:01:38+00:00

The absolute hatred of men and flat out misandry in that post is beyond what you should call toxic femininity. Those women are bitter old bags.

TC1827 · 2020-02-24T13:55:36+00:00

Alimony needs to be abolished. The stay-at-home spouse already got to marry up and live of the labour of her / his partner.

jhooperp · 2020-02-24T15:45:29+00:00

This whole idea women have where they feel that because people in the past with their sexual organs has suffered this pain that it means they need to enjoy the revenge as if they are tied together through the centuries.

First of all they weren’t there and secondly they don’t even know if they did in fact suffer whatever injustice they feel they did.

But let’s say that it’s true, that women were slaves and had it so bad, how the hell does that then equate to then women today getting to enjoy the revenge for those women in the past. Makes no sense.

So because women had to work and cook and men had to pay alimony after a divorce, she now feels that she shouldn’t pay it since women in the past suffered😂🤡
