Obviously this article is written by a man stating he does not have a desire to get married. The article blames women and is one sided. Let’s not forget that there are bad women and bad men out there. The studies he is talking about were carried for men. But if you carry a study for women then you would get a different picture. People cannot make judgements on one flimsy baseless article. Who is Michael Weeks anyway? A Doctor a Judge a University Professor.
In response to the article:
This article is smudging women’s reputation. It is no news that men do not want to get married early on or at all for that matter (they want to play around find the right women blah blah blah). BUT SO DO MANY WOMEN - (we need to have fun and find the right guy too). I have met a lot of men who do not want to get married and a lot more women who do not either, for various reasons. Women who don’t want to get married (or form a commitment) is because they are very stable, have all they need to survive –career, money, house great family and friend support. And do not need some anyone’s riches – so guys relax. We do not have a hidden agenda to get you or your hard earned cash, house, cars etc – women are capable to have that stuff too deriving from their honest occupation. If you are talking about the Ivana Trump situation where the guy probably cheated on her - well she took him to the cleaners because he made her feel second class. She was in it for a life time and through his infidelity fucked up her life - so what is the woman to do - took the bastard to the cleaners to teach him a lessen and let him never forget her. Anyway that is revenge for her.
Women don’t want to get married because they do not have the pressures of yesteryear, they could at any time have a child using IVF or just find a one night stand, get pregnant and raise the child on their own. They do not have to put up with cheating, mentally and physically abusive men. IE on dates men staring at other women while they are on their wife’s side or giving priority to sports instead of housework, wives or their children. This type of behaviour affects wives and then she will feel compelled to get back at their husbands through revenge. Some men simply DO NOT GET IT, they do nothing to alleviate their wrongful behaviour. Violence at home; or the in-laws sticking their nose into the marriage and the husband does not stick up for his wife because he is still tied to his mummy’s apron.
Women do not have to wait for anyone to have children. Although it is probably good for the child to have input from his mother and father to have a balanced upbringing, but then again it’s not necessary. As you may know from gay relationships 2 men or 2 women rasing a child. So mentality has to change…
The old feminist argument about marriage being slavery for women applies only if the man does not share the marriage chores equally with his wife. Then you cannot deny the unfairness to her in that relationship. The author of the article does not specify where his research is coming from and by whom it has been conducted. What he is saying is not very convincing.
If a woman initiates a divorce it’s for the reason given above plus more. It is hard to believe that someone gets divorced FOR NO REASON AT ALL. If you do better research a reason will surface. This guy is implying throughout this article that women’s reasons for a break up are baseless!!! It sounds strange. Just because someone is silent (or does not give a reason) about a given matter it does not make them guilty or that a reason does not exist.
“”The odds are nearly 40 to 1 of the wife winning physical custody.””
It has the potential for unfairness but it is not stable for a child to move back and forth from one residence to another while they are young plus women are the primary care givers. And visiting rights will be interfered with if the man will speak badly of the mother to his children destroying her reputation, is a molester, is abusive, he is a drunk, if he has no time to look after them because he works to pay for their alimony. Alimony will be paid because the man contributed in making that child anyway – so take responsibility people and do not winged. Plus life is not cheap these days. In addition if you made a child then provide enough so he/she does not have to become a bum and become a burden on society because daddy had no cash (or was unwilling to provide enough) to send him to school. So the scope of the legislation wants to reach some foreseeable possible future situations here, hence alimony is imposed so high.
If you have noticed MW does not in any shape or form admit in the article to any wrong done by the men in the relationship. Is he saying they are faultless?? Hard to believe. It is all blamed on the woman. If you have any logic then you would question the validity of this article.
By the way pre-nup agreements should be signed by both women and men.
Just to make it clear lots of guys are fantastic and I am not against them I am just against people who point the finger at others, do not think logically and do not present the facts from both sides.
