That tired trope is trotted out regularly on FR, and it is a non-starter. Divorce starts the moment one of the two people breaks the marriage irretrevably, not the moment someone files legally.
Yet men widely believe that in the vast majority of divorces filed by women, the men are guilty of no wrong-doing.
There's even a name for it: frivorce (i.e., a divorce filed for frivolous reasons).
Usually, the woman claims "abuse," by which she means "emotional abuse," by which she means "I'm not haaaaappy!
She's not happy, so by her logic, she must be the victim of "emotional abuse." So she frivorces the man, keeps the house and kids, and begins her journey of female "self-empowerment."
In both these debates, about who initiates divorce and whether an entire ethnic group can be responsible for the ills of multiculturalism, you seek to isolate a target for negativity—i.e. women and Jews. I think human behavior is a lot more complicated than that.
