Possibly because they are more intelligent than the average person......I'm in the process of divorcing a woman who I still love dearly and have two children with after ten years of marriage...........Men get the shaft in dicorce court........I'm out about a million dollars (gave her all the property) and I will still have to pay child support although she is living on the income of the rental properties...............It's OK I guess......I still have the shirt on my back....the funny (or not so funny)thing is I would take her back in a heartbeat....unfortunatley I took the to death do you part seriously, and obviously I was naive..........be careful with women, the legal system is 200% biased in their favor (I spent 6 months in jail for allegen domestic violence(just her word, no witnesses no bruises etc)....I have never raised my hand against a woman G-s forbid...I went to trisl and was found not guilty, but I still spent almost 6 months in jail.........
Be careful what you wish for.......you just might get it.
I've seen this myself Bodhi, so I know exactly what you mean. I interned with a family law attorney and I've seen situations where men have been deprived of their livelihoods because of a simple, uncorroborated claim that the husband was abusive without any showing of evidence whatsoever.
I've also seen good loving fathers take their entire days off of work in order to go to court and ask permission to spend one day of the holiday with their daughters.
Women are entitled to much more than they deserve in many cases especially if they've been horrible wives and have contributed nothing to the couple's finances.
