Dear Sam,

You have an interesting proposition, yet it is wholly unsupported by the facts. It is more of the same propaganda pushed by the left. My friend Judy Parejko (who wrote the book "Stolen Vows"), and I have thoroughly researched this issue and it shows that the rise of divorce was DIRECTLY correllated with the rise of feminism and the no-fault laws.

Unfortunately for those who would like to believe differently, or simply want to endorse a position not supported by the facts, this IS well documented.

And before you start firing at the hip on this issue, please be aware that I can point you to US House Congressional testimony, legal briefs, and several years worth of research that I PERSONALLY have done.

Feminism pushed the issue, and most would be surprised that it has come STRAIGHT from communist Russia, to the Women's Lawyer's Association in the 40's, who pressed until the 60's to find an opening, and the rest is well known.

It also has its roots in the "free love" movement of the late 1800's, by a couple of avowed communist feminist sisters who wanted marriage done away with. Harper's weekly ran several GREAT illustrations about the family butcher that Communism was at that time...

Learn the TRUTH, and it is the TRUTH that shall set you free. NOT the propaganda and prevailing "wisdom" of the day...

Since the dawn of human history privileged men have had concubines, courtesans, mistresses, right of the first night, slave girls, geishas, wive's handmaidens, etc. Men who had the power to fool around always did.

Sexual variety has always been a perk of privilege for men, never for women. What the emergence of divorce did was to make sexual variety available for more men as they could cease having to support women they no longer wished to sleep with.

What does lust have to do with Gramsci ?

It wasn't "feminism" that made Nevada change its laws in the 1920s. Nevada had *the* most liberal law in the country (still is in many ways) because at the time only a six-week residency was required. If you had the money & could hang around in NV for 6 weeks, you were pretty much guaranteed your divorce. The full-faith-and-credit clause of the Constitution was invoked to uphold NV law when it was challenged.

In fact, one could argue that NV *delayed* the loosening of US divorce laws by serving as an "outlet" for wealthier people who would otherwise have fought & challenged their state laws in the legislature.

It's fun to blame everything on the "feminists," but truth be told, there were *many* Americans in the period between the 1920s and 1980s who supported liberalized divorce - not just feminists, commies, and liberals. In practicality, outside of a few states like LA and NY, it was basically possible to for just about anybody to get a divorce with relatively little effort, especially if it was uncontested by the other party.
