Is Marriage Worth It For Women?The benefits go mostly to men.

[VCheng]

Lmao. This would piss off a lot of feminists, they'd descend on PDF.

Hey, speaking the truth will never win any popularity contest.

Marriage might benefit men more than women but incase of divorce(and considering the fact a huge % of marriage end in divorce in west, and east will catch up once women get equal rights) men get to lose a lot compared to women.
And a prenupt is not a perfect solution, many times people dont do as it looks bad, also judge can throw out a prenupt and decide how much to give to woman.

The current law makes men much more averse to marriage. Indian law went one step further and attached husband's parental property in divorce settlement(not sure it was passed or not) which is ridiculous.

Prenup does not protect against alimony. At least not in Canada. There's no provision for alimony in prenup. Everytime some smartass mangina mentions prenup as a silver bullet, just mention this to to them up.

say bye to your hobby? tools sell them, motorbike sell it, stereo system sell it, fishing kit sell it, air rifle hunting sell it, bike sell it, football give it away, do you have military gear are you collector forget it sell it. that table you made throw it in bin she wants a expensive glass table .

i swear they jealous creatures if you like your car / bike spend money on it and time. they will hatch a plan to get rid of it. they start with conversion like this yh do you love me tell me how much you really ? more than your car or bike etc. then it down hill battle.

haha...yeah your hobby is a "goner"...especially when you have kids.
I still have my tools and I kept my stereo/speakers/electronics. No matter how much you like your old furniture it's pretty much a guarantee she won't like it and it will be destined for the landfill...including that fancy computer desk thing you bought which she thinks is ugly as hell

As for the car...I recommend to every guy they buy that car they always dreamed of at least a year before getting married because she can't wield that all powerful "veto" yet.

Thanks to liberalism and feminism.

Feminism is partly to blame, you're right. These modern day feminists in the developed world have a lot of lunatics in their ranks, some very vocal people stuck in an alternate reality it seems.

Big issue this is. And one of the greatest reasons why marriage rates in the developed world are falling.

I would see that as a positive, why should a wo/men be stuck in a abusive relationship ? More ever ppl should know why they are marrying, for part time benefits or for having a family ?

its like blaming a religion for act of few ppl. We should not certainly expect ppl to stay the way they are , at some times we should expect them to act like lunatics or crazy.

neither feminists nor liberals only made the law. We all made the law. Feminists are a special interest pressure group now, just like you wont stop all conventional energy suddenly and go 100% green just because green groups want it(no matter the cost or logic) but green groups have right to exist and cant be blamed for high energy bill.

lol, you think my issue with divorce laws is the fact that divorce is legal? That's not what scares the sh*t out of young guys about marriage. Divorce has been known to financially destroy many men, alimony too, especially in high profile cases, and these laws disproportionately favour women.

I've not referenced any specific problem in that post, it was quite funny that you thought I was advocating removing divorce and forcing people to stay in relationships in which they don't want to be in, you can be opposed to some aspects of this without regressing to the dark ages.

Right, it is similar, but feminism, the most vocal variety, the most active variety in the west, or that special branch of it, is giving itself a bad name, not all feminists are like that, granted, and not all suffrage or feminist movements are filled with the lunatic feminist variety. I wouldn't argue that either.

Also, judging by your profile, are you a Kubrick fan by any chance?

nobody is against divorce, infact it should be made easier and less costly. Its the divorce settlement that we are talking about. Its illogical why you have to give huge sums of money to your wife if she leaves you.

This is true, and I don't argue that at all, I did not blame feminism in all its forms, history or connotations, nor did I try to blame feminism outright, I said 'partly' to blame, and even by that, both you and that other poster have jumped unnecessarily to some conclusion that I did not intend any reader of my post to arrive at, what if, I were to argue on form my 'partly to blame' comment, by adding that it was not intentional, and that measures put in place to promote equality in favour of women, when there was inequality, having a spill over effect in today's world where there is equality, yet those old laws and advantages are still in place despite the backdrop having changed significantly. To cut it short, there is no debate here, you arrived at one because you assumed too much about what I briefly mentioned with no further elaboration.

Now imagine if you are in a country where you are 100% green, somehow, or maybe 110% green, a physical impossibility, but you can see the parallel being drawn to one form of inequality being pushed back the other way in favour of women, in this case in divorce laws and marriage for example, and that same green pressure group, with all that it has and more, being vocal still about perceived problems that hardly anyone else in the mainstream sees, this is where the problem lies.

If you love and respect eachother then a marriage is the best thing that can happen to you

Exactly this.

Well it's true most guys still can keep their tools as we have the room for it. You are also correct about the plastic. My father had way more tools than I currently have simply because most stuff these days are unfixable plastic (or solved with Gorilla glue/JB Weld).

Not sure about the feminism thing. My wife spent most of her life in China and I don't think she is any less/more a feminist than somebody born here. But that doesn't mean women are the same all over the world.

Is it necessary that only husband has to pay alimony ? Can it be other way around ? May be a stupid question, just asking.
