Oh I have seen the thread, I know it has gotten long, and I have not had the interest in reading it all the way through because from what I have seen, both sides are saying ugly things about the evils of the opposite sex, and both sides are wrong.

A quick look right now showed me that men were being accused of not growing up and getting rid of their boats and golf games when they got married. Earlier there was debate about the appropriate amount of housework each side should do.

I think the trouble is, these are personal decisions made in any household, that should matter only to those involved. What is ridiculous to me, is that NOW, and conservative men in response, are turning household management into a political issue. "Who is supposed to vacuum?" and "Who is supposed to take out the garbage?" NEVER should have been elevated to a political platform.

A couple has enough on their hands these days, without feeling like helping each other get things done so they can go out on the boat for the afternoon is now a contest of party loyalty. Vacuuming is never a moral dilemma for me.

I don't know what variations you are talking about specifically. But the meat of the article has to do with an inherent bias in our Courts.

The men get soaked and the women get rewarded. And that's fine when the men are in the wrong, but this happens regardless of their guilt or innocence.

It's bias and it's unfair to reward a spouse for cheating or otherwise causing a marriage failure at the expense of the spouse who is blameless.

And imo, gender roles don't apply.
