Confessions of a Divorced Wife

I was absoltely horrified when I read this story (search on "'x'files" to see the post). I never realized how the legal system and vindictive women can so easily destroy a man's life. If there was one positive aspect, was this woman realized her mistake, and understood how she was manipulated. She is now taking action from preventing the same injustice from destroying her brother's life.

Isn't this pretty much the same story you see everywhere else? Basically it's a case of "It was all going so well, until a man on MY side of the fence got hurt".

She says that she went along with it all and felt bad all the way through, but it wasn't until her own brother got shafted that she stepped up to the plate.

She is right about the not playing Mr Nice Guy thing though. I've started to do the same thing. Until now when people have mentioned mens rights or feminists I've gently pushed my agenda (that men and boys are getting screwed over, and not in the 'good' sense) but been very careful not to offend. Now though, the gloves are off.

This week at work, a couple of single female colleagues were talking about going out on the weekend, standing next to my desk and ocassionally involving me. One of them said she wasn't dating anymore, because she was horrified by guys who didn't pay for everything. Another agreed, and said that it was soooo cheap of guys to want to go dutch or not to bring gifts to each date. I laughed, loudly.

When they asked why, I said 'why should they?' I explained that men aren't buying the woman for the evening, so why should they fork out huge amounts - especially as every woman reserves the right to pick and choose, to dump the guy at any moment, etc. I told them that women wanted equality, and they've got it - and that includes the responsibility of paying your own way, like a grown-up.

By this time they were going a bit pink around the gills, and one said that maybe that was why I was still single, a year after my wife left. I simply said that if being single meant avoiding selfish women who wanted all the rights options and fun with none of the responsibility or costs then boy was I a happy man.

Score one to me, I think.
