“Her having not worked or contributed financially to a family.”

That’s sounds a bit predatorial on your part.

There is such thing as a pre nup. You could get one. If you are worried about your money.

But most women I have known have contributed tremendously. Their entire young lives and most of their middle age. It is their education and “career” that usually gets sidelined or set aside (willingly) in order to procreate, raise children as opposed to offspring that get boarded like pets, keep the household running which is a huge operation to do well. They are the ones who get up in the middle of the night, keep all the appointments, make the lunches, keep things clean and functioning, and devote themselves to building their husband’s career (which is in everyone’s best interest). A wife at home SAVES so much money, if they are managing decently! The childcare alone! Assuming you wanted the children. . . and They keep relationships and social matrices solid, building in the community and the larger family. They find the best prices, they cook at home, they do the laundry at home - I mean one can go on and on. Priceless. Certainly just as valuable as you.

So like once she is 40 or 50 and you are done with her (she no doubt did not hit every mark, nor did you), what is she supposed to do? Leave with the clothes on her back. Because the paycheck is in your name?

Now, there’s the opposite. A ho who snagged you in college because she thought you’d be a big earner, had one baby to keep you happy and was indifferent to the poor child, slept around, squandered money, and indulged herself. Ok. She gets 10%. That’s why we should have fair divorce laws.

But the vast majority of women I know have put all their best years into building strong intact families and, if dumped or so seriously abused through adultery or actual abuse that they need to leave, should absolutely get 50% and why would they not.

Didn’t need to read past that sentence to see what you are.

The problem with your theory is that the vast majority of divorces I've seen over the last 20 years (I'm 54yo for reference) have been initiated by woman A instead of man B in your example. Statistics show women initiate over 70% of divorces. In my circle it's more like 90% and almost all have been a woman in her 40's who starts an affair then leaves the husband for the new boyfriend. Typically she gets the house, half or more of the money (that the man earned), half his retirement, child support which is far more than needed to actually support the child and goes for toys for her and her new boyfriend. Sometimes she'll also get alimony. Typically the ex-husband who got dumped ends up living in an apartment while the ex-wife moves her new boyfriend into the house the husband is still paying for.

You may see this as "fair", but men take notice which is why marriage rates are falling like a rock. They will continue to fall until the notion that divorce should be a lottery win for women changes. Men are sick of it and we're seeing the fallout.
