Gee, what man doesn’t want to sign a one-sided contract with the government wherein the other party may cancel the contract at anytime to receive half the man’s assets, his house, the children and a salary for cheating on him? The settlement is then enforced by the government and its appointed court officers, representatives and enforcement officers.
The man is held to his contractual obligations whereas the woman is encouraged and rewarded to break her obligations.
Nope.
Now they’re scrambling because men are no longer agreeing to enter a state of freehold bondage which marriage has been turned into.
well said ...
Never enter an agreement in which breaking that agreement is going to be a big benefit for one of the participants.
With the courts the way they are these days, every man should insist on a pre-nup and should also insist on DNA testing for every child. The world is not fair, and men get screwed a lot more than women. Which is a contributing factor to why fewer men are seeking relationships.

The same thing happened to me in my divorce. *I* was punished financially for *his* bad behavior!
Won’t make that mistake ever again. Happily divorced and plan to stay that way. :)
My son (30s) says he's seen this in his colleagues - they have been dragged through court repeatedly, are forced to pay a good percentage of their salaries to their exes, gave up their homes, see their kids on weekends, maybe - and lead miserable lives after divorce.
A lot of his friends have internalized this and are very very hesitant to get married (him included).
