Are they standing up for other men on a regular basis defending and urging what is right? How many male relatives are encouraging the wife to clean hubbys wealth?
Good Question! Really! Well, my oldest sister got divorced when I was pretty young and somewhat detached from the family. It took years for her and I to reconcile because I could never see the reason behind it. Fortunately, there were no kids and they made a strong effort at making it a mutual agreement. But, I didn't like what I saw. He was a cool guy. She was pretty nasty, but didn't take him to the cleaners as far as I know.
I had another sister get divorced, but this guy was a genuine scumbag. I know he was because while I was visiting them, he and I went out for a beer or two. He was trying to pick up every woman in the place. Did he think I wasn't there? Again, there were no kids so it wasn't such a big deal. Nor did she rake him over the coals - my sister has scruples.

I can't say I will stand up for every man, since I've seen at least one scumbag out there. But as the original article points out, divorces are not happening for respectable reasons in most cases. And, I don't beleive in cleaning anybody's clock over trivial BS. This is the kind of thing the article is talking about; not legit abuse, cheating, or any of that kind of thing. It is pointing out that divorce on demand serves only to enslave the male to a lifetime of "child support" (aka alimony in disguise) payments to a ruthless ex. Its pointing out that young men are beginning to see what their fathers went through and don't want to make the same mistakes.
The development of a class consciousness among men, as men, would be the horrible result of allowing these injustices to go on for too long. As you've noticed, few men today see themselves as part of any sort of "brotherhood of men." That such exists is a paranoid fantasy of feminist loons.
Although I think it would be a horrible development with many unfortunate side effects, I personally encourage it because I think it has become a necessary evil in the current environment. Threads like this help it along, so here we are.
