They are. They aren't marrying.

This is the invisible hand of the market again. My best man married and divorced in California. His attorney said, "You get 28% visitation rights. That's what all men get everywhere in the state." It took him 9 months and 1000's of dollars to get to 40%, and only 1/2 of 1% of men in that state get to that point.

Men aren't some sort of cartel. In LA, you don't even have to be the biological father of the child to be forced into paying child support until age 18. This legal wisdom came from the same AG that screwed up the OJ prosecution.

If women are interested in marriage, then don't ask men to fix it. My advice is make a better market for marriage. Make the courts fairer yourselves, make divorce equitable, make visitation 50/50 unless you can prove a danger to the children outright. Insist on a prenup first, spelling out what would happen if things didn't go as planned.

Your response is typical of why this is a trend on the upswing.

There are more registered female voters than male voters, and more females are interested in marriage.
