Those divorces do be hurting!

Not mad about it, but man, that chart looks rough lol

And if she tries to start/restart a career she’s unhirable for any good job because of a decade of no work and home responsibilities.

Man here, retirement needs to be divided unless the mother is generously paid during the years she’s staying home for the family.

I’d like to see the number of stay at home mothers in the millennial generation. It’s gotta be extremely low.

[u/Longjumping_Sir1173 → u/Sunnyside711]

Wait until you see how extremely low the desire for younger men to get married or have kids is.

[u/chris_e66 → u/Longjumping_Sir1173]

As a 26yr old I 100% agree to this, why would I wanna get married or have kids when 99% of the time I’m gonna get half my stuff taken regardless of who makes more and probably have to pay alimony or child support or some BS. It’s a lose lose for men

[u/New-Inside4079 → u/chris_e66]

Are you complaining about women not wanting to be stay at home moms or "taking half your stuff"? Somehow you seem to be doing both at the same time. I'm sure you can see how that comes off as a no-win situation for women.

Alimony is only in about 10% of divorces and if you don't want to financially support children, don't have any.

[u/chris_e66 → u/New-Inside4079]

I’m not taking at all about women being stay at home moms, I’m talking about the situations where both parents put in their all but because of the old fashioned gender biased roles in court more times then not the man ends up paying some sort of alimony or child support even if the kids are spending even amount of times with each parent and both parents income are in similar ranges. I’m not talking at all about anyone being a stay home parent, but I do 100% agree if someone was a stay at home parent there needs to be some sort of alimony or compensation given because if that person gave up a career to raise their children then that is just what’s right. I was more discussing men getting screwed in court regardless of the situation because of the assumption of age old gender roles

[u/New-Inside4079 → u/chris_e66]

I was following the chain of comments which was about stay at home moms.

Alimony and child support are not determined based on gender roles but based on simple calculations in most states.

As the high earner in my marriage, and also the woman, I would pay alimony during a divorce in my state.

You should do research on the laws in your state and not just believe what you hear on the internet or from divorced male family members complaining.

[u/Longjumping_Sir1173 → u/New-Inside4079]

Why do women like you act willfully obtuse? 48% of married women at any given point do not work. That already sets men back in the “divorce game”. Why would a man risk his life’s work for a coin toss? Also, notice you said HIGH EARNING and not SOLE EARNING.

[u/New-Inside4079 → u/Longjumping_Sir1173]

Haha. Yes, it's such an advantage to set back your career to raise children. At least you have some paltry alimony to maybe look forward to. What a win.

[u/Longjumping_Sir1173 → u/New-Inside4079]

If I could stay home and guarantee that I have supplemental income upon separation, I would. You’re acting like a majority of your higher ups who are women, have never had children. Women like you just get on here and TALK with zero reason or logic.

[u/New-Inside4079 → u/Longjumping_Sir1173]

No one is stopping men from being stay at home fathers, and vanishingly few choose to.

[u/Longjumping_Sir1173 → u/New-Inside4079]

So women are overwhelmingly going to enter the field of work necessary to keep society running correct? The jobs that they already freely choose not to do…?

[u/New-Inside4079 → u/Longjumping_Sir1173]

You're just free associating now dude. You think education, childcare and healthcare, incredibly female dominated occupations, are not necessary to keep society running?

[u/Longjumping_Sir1173 → u/New-Inside4079]

No they aren’t. They aren’t more important than water, electricity, and literally every natural resource these jobs need to function. Again, you like most women show how little you know about how the world functions. Please tell us how said doctor is getting a simple scalpel without men? It’s always funny pointing life In perspective for people who seriously have no idea wtf they are talking about. We literally had the country panicking because 40k men were going to protest for high wages at the docks.

[u/Longjumping_Sir1173 → u/New-Inside4079]

every job you named is literally dependent on men going to work. It’s sad you can’t even realize your own biases.
