Well some women aren't fit to care for kids regardless of the 'pushing' they did. Considering I just witnessed a woman dragging her daughter across a parking lot by her t-shirt collar on a 15° day. (And yes I called the police about it.)
Some are more equal than others, as a married man I've made peace with the fact that my wife holds the guillotine, lots of foot rubs now to keep my pension!
Ooookay. Product of a divorce here, and I have some words. In the majority of divorces, not all, but most, women tend to receive either primary or total custody of children. Following the logic in this post, the single, mostly child-free husband should receive the exact same amount of money as the wife, who is the predominant child care-taker. Applying that to the facts, it's just wrong. Aside from that, women- as you know- make less money due to the wage gap, so at least a smaller amount should typically be factored in when calculating alimony payments, unless she has a much higher earned job. Also, since women are the ones who tend to file first, they have more attorney fees to be compensated for.
Women aren't the only ones who get alimony. I've known a couple of men who have received alimony from their former wives after divorce. But yes, I do agree that alimony laws should be reformed. Personally, the entire concept of alimony has just seemed stupid to me. Giving child support for whichever parent receives the child seems pretty reasonable, but alimony? Doesn't make sense to me.
