And women being abused by their alcoholic, philandering husbands.

The men here act like men can do no wrong, but I know too many women who were used as punching bags by just such men, and some actually hospitalized as a result.

And yet they are blanket condemned for initiating the divorce. And they’re supposed to just stay in the *marriage* and put up with it?

The mentality that women are just property, live in housekeepers with privileges, or trophies is a big turn off to women.

Where’s the condemnation of men for being drunk, cheating, wife abusers?

Not a single man will defend a man who is a drunk or abuser or serial cheat or any other bad quality you can think of.

But there are plenty of women who will defend a celibate marriage and blame the man if he walks from that.

Those are bad spouses and I wouldn't blame anybody for giving someone like that the heave-ho. That said, that is not the cause in the large majority of all divorces according to the data.

you are describing my ex son in law. a cheatin’ drinkin’ cheap sob who was shocked that my daughter wanted a divorce.
He has a kid with 1 woman,( gave up custody so he did not have to pay support) and just got jail time for DUI and slapping wife #2 around.
But she was supposed to “fix that” according to mommy!

Lots of women beat on men , but it goes under reported.

Absolutely there are men who are abusers. I don’t think that anyone denies that, but women use psychological abuse and manipulation as well.
The courts give them blanket protection just because they are female, which is misogynistic.

Both male and females have problems.

As far as I can tell, yes, the male consensus here is that women should find a man and become his willing servant, or their life is not complete. I'll pass, personally.
