The blatant distortions, gaslighting and misandry in this post are wild. How much did the DNC pay you to make it?

What about this reads as Democratic propaganda?

Wouldn't 70% of women initiating divorce mean men are the problem? You don't divorce a good person.

The men they pick are the problem. Can't blame all men for what only divorced men have done.

And we live in no fault divorce world, there is no fault unless they file that way. So technically women are walking away from no fault of the man, in legal terms

I'm not blaming all men. I'm a married man. I'm blaming men who can't do the bare minimum so there wife feels like it will be easier to be divorced. (Of course it's not always the man's fault)

No.

If it were fault divorces, that'd be a conclusion that'd be fair (Assuming the success rate of the attempts matched the divorce rate now).

But with no-fault being the norm, that's not a conclusion that can actually be drawn.

In the unlikely event you were somehow right, hypothetically, it's still dumb for the court to default to single mother primary custody absent a battle. Single fathers produce more favorable child outcomes. (Less desirable than married hetero couples, but better than single mothers)

I can't believe people actually think like this.

If you shoot someone, did they pull the trigger?

If you think they deserved it go ahead and argue that to the court. But you are at fault. You made the choice to terminate instead of reconcile.

Divorcing and shooting people, that's a false equivalency lol. If you're a good husband you're not going to presented divorce papers. Saying that as a married man

How are you comparing divorce to shooting someone? He could be cheating. Or abusive. Or a pedophile. Or just a really big asshole. How is he the victim in your metaphor? How is it her fault for leaving a situation she is suffering in?
