Women and Divorce
July 13, 2006
 I must say that I think divorce is in large part because of the so called “liberation” of women. Not that was so bad. But with newly found freedoms always comes new responsibility or irresponsibilty that one must grapple with.
As women jumped into the work place it is not a surprise what happened.
Economic productivity jumped, divorce rates jumped, commonly accepted perversities jumped.
Why? The wrong assumption that men and women are equal in everything. 99 times out of 100 I will take any divorced man in America to defend me. Meaning the common myth is that men are one business trip away from a wild night. The truth is most often the opposite.
Further more, as a society we have grappled with spreading equality to every phase of our nation Even the military. So now we have to deal with whether or not we should have a woman on the front lines.
Geez, that one seems to be a no brainer. Sorry I will take Bubba to watch my back and carry my injured tail out of harms way.
The notion of equality has feminized maleness. It has come to mean you can do anything you want, because well you should be allowed to be equal (gee wiz I am not allowed under this nations constitution to kill a baby am I?)
As we have let go of certain definitions of what is male and what is female, we have also let go of what is proper and improper.
Certain memes have spread to allow certain notions to spread virally into our nations soul. A womans Right to Choose. college is for experimentation, The glass ceiling, all have taken on irrefuted truth in our society. Much like it is a forgone conclusion that Bush lied about Iraq.( It has been proven over and over he did not, but who cares about truth?)
Women have done better in our society than they ever have economically, but they are miserable in their marriages. Why? I believe that is because they are repressing their nature in order to excel in a mans world.
Oh, men aren’t off the hook either. We have been quiet. In many cases irresponsible. Oh, “I am for a womans right to choose”, means I am off the hook for 18 years!
The law has been twisted and maligned to make very legal arguments that make sense legally, but not naturally.
These are the perversities that have risen from an overly litigous society, bent on allowing personal freedoms without exerting any responsibility. It is a society that has in the name of equal rights,has tilted the measure of equality uequally in favor of women rights. While men are shafted to pay for womens indiscretions.
 Every man I know that has been divorced or is going thru one is because of the woman wanting out,or even cheating on the man. And in many cases the guy is hosed with big child support/alimony with little visitation.
 Where is the justice?
We as a society have been feminized in the name of equal rights and I dare say equal repirations.
We have a generation of young men in middle class suburbia that are dealing with issues of a manless society that in the past was what we saw only in the ghettos of America.
Freedom without responsibility destroys freedom.Â
