When courts give custody to men in 50% of divorce cases, and alimony to men in 50% of divorce cases... then men and women are truly equal. Until then, forget about it.

The root of the problem is no-fault divorce, isn't it?

I think it is.

No-fault divorce combined with a family law system that is hopelessly corrupt and anti-child/anti-male. One sage Freeper referred to the system as one that rewards women: "wreck a marriage, earn a check." After having to spend a year's income to secure a meaningful joint custody with my two children, while watching a corrupt court bend over backwards--to the point of fabricating evidence--to repeatedly find in favor of my ex-wife with borderline personality disorder, I concluded that it was in the best interests of my children to not marry again--at least not in this liberal cesspool of a jurisdiction. To do so would put them at even greater risk of being further harmed by the elitist oligarchy.

But the root of no-fault divorce is tens of millions demanding it. When half the people want divorces, can the other half make them stay together?

You guys keep saying that, and I keep repeating, "Divorce is a symptom, not the problem.". The problem is that married couples are seeking divorce, not that divorce is available. You'd just have a slightly different problem if these couples were seeking divorces, and they weren't available. The goal should be to reduce the number of unhappy marriages, not to bar the exit.
