In California, as elsewhere, more divorces are initiated by women than by men. The idea of disposable marriages, husbands, and fathers is more pernicious among women than men. I'm not defending deadbeats, I'm a full-time single Dad with a semi-deadbeat ex whose load I have to carry. She took disposable even a step further.
But if so many women didn't so cavalierly take advantage of the no-fault divorce laws, we'd see a lot less dead-beat dads. Women who divorce for vague "irreconcilable differences" are coddled by our culture, laws, and judges.
They should be recognized for what they really are: deadbeat wives and runaway moms.
