Only one poster—probably the only once-married poster in the lot—hinted at why the women were celebrating: they get custody of the kids...etc.
My ex filed for divorce and then held a party for her friends in the house I was restrained from entering but compelled to pay for. Both of my young sons were there, my oldest has yet to get over it 5 years later. Divorce is a crime againest humanity and I can only hope that the lawyers and judges who profit from it have a special place in hell. Divorce, the wrecking of peoples lives for profit, the damage done to children being treated as a reason to celebrate can be laid at the feet of feminism and the National Organization of Women.
Custody of the children is the bottom line: they won. Whether or not the kids are hurt is incosequential, they couldn't give a flyin'. And not just post-divorce, you want to see women celebrating like Oprah's giving out cars, go to family court. Family Court is a bonding experience for most women; women who have just met and have virtually nothing in common leave laughing and high-fiving like their long-shot won the Kentucky Derby.
When will we get our chance to speak?

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I knew that
for 50 years, those high heeled pit bulls have
blamed us for everything, from not being able to
get into Harvard to not being able to get into
stretch pants.
But what the heck! I took the plunge! I'd heard
it was time for the ex to defend her keg sucking
crown. She was going for the heavy weight title!
(A lot of people demanded chromosome tests last
year.)
I recognized the house by the Ford "Mustnag"
parked out in front. Isn't it amazing how they
think these up and fight gravity at the same time?
I saw her as soon as I walked in. The "ex" was the one
with the grass stains on her back. Nice as could
be, I congratulated her on the divorce, and gave
her my gift: a mustache comb. I was afraid she
wouldn't like it, but I think I appeased her by
complimenting her on how well she looked. I said
"Why can't we men age as gracefully as you gals? A
little blush, a little mascara and voila, what do
you have? An old woman afraid of the rain."
I could tell she was in a bad mood, so I
circulated around to interview some of the other
tree people.
One was wearing dainty overalls and a matching
Caterpillar cap. Between catching flies with her
tongue, I think she moo-ed that the theme of the
gathering was "thumbs, show 'em if you've got 'em!"
All of sudden, I realized she was an in-law! (I'd
never seen one upright before.) Whoa! Time to move
on!
Unfortunately, the next babe's future, much like
her weight, was behind her. She was feeling lonely
and lost, and buried her troubles with pork
rinds. I told her that she was too good to be
hanging around with this crowd, and suggested that
Oprah was having a show on women with chafed
thighs that start forest fires or something. I'm
not sure if she believed me 100%, but she slowed
down long enough to clear her blow hole and
gasp for air.
By now, gentle reader, you might think I wasn't
being as nice and polite as I might have been.
You might be worried that, "oh no, maybe the
hairs on her lip will reach out and strangle him
like the mighty octopus." But my fun, unlike
marriage, is a victimless crime. I know it, you
know it, and if Darwin was right, in about a
million years, they'll know it too.
Besides, I knew I had plenty of time! They
never get through the front door on the
first try.
I'm also naturally inquisitive. For example, I was
wondering just how strong that chair the "ex" was
sitting on, was. (Not strong enough, it turned
out.)
My advice?
Wives have gone insane, and I've learned that,
much like when they're shopping, sick or horny,
it's best to stay out of their way.
While we're waiting for their Sergeant Carter
haircuts to grow out, I suggest dating hot young
babes, and if necessary, going to the emergency
room for dehydration.

Have you been writing like this all year or is this new? Certainly wasn't this way a few years ago.

In late summer of 1973, I went to a divorce party for a friend, who was a man. Given that this was 32 years ago, I have no idea how the husband got to keep the house and the kid, but he did.
So, this is really not new. It is a little disconcerting that women are getting so much mileage out of it. But it's just media hype, and anyone who's paying attention recognizes that journalism, as far as respect for careers is concerned, rates all the way up there in the realm of user car saleswomen.

I wonder how cute, funny and celebratory 'GOOD MORNING AMERICA' would find it if men threw 'rape parties'.
there isn't THAT much difference.
With few acceptions, I totally give up on American women. Sorry.

I understand how you feel Thundercloud.
But please don't give up on ALL of us. Some of us, at least, are on your side.

I don't know; how did you come to the erroneous conclusion that I was talking about you?
Unless of course you ARE the Anonymous Coward who posted calling for the repeal of the 19th Amendment.

I misread.
And no, I am definately NOT the troll who called for the repeal of the 19th amendment. Sorry I misunderstood, there.

American women OFTEN celebrate men's losses, tragedies or pain.
That's a lot of what feminism is all about, and MANY American women are complicit.

Last time I checked, there was no prominent, or even garage-band start-up movement led by women to repeal feminism, to advocate for men's rights, or to stop the renewal of VAWA.
It's not enough for women to say "I'm not a feminist."
ALL WOMEN benefit from feminism's war on men.
The women who claim to be anti-feminist get a special perk by defining themselves as "innocent," as men's allies, as "real" women.
It's all a crock.
When I see a few hundred thousand women demonstrating against VAWA, then I'll believe that some special few women are not predators or parasites benefiting from feminism.
When I see a couple dozen women with posters outside a county courthouse protesting the assaults in Family Courts against fathers, then I'll revise my views.
Until then, all the iFeminists and their kissing-cousins can take their "MRA Sympathy" stand-up comedy routines and peddle them to the truly clueless ... maybe start with all the male members of Congress.
Their nearly unanimous vote of approval for VAWA suggests they are a receptive-to-BS crowd.

It's sad to see that few women would protect men the way men would protect women.
