    The funny (sad?) thing about this is the people pushing it think that this is going to force women to stay with fine upstanding Christian men when the women are no longer happy in the marriage.

    They fail to see that no-fault divorce benefits men, too. Plenty of men are in relationships with women who are incompatible with them and generally suck the joy out of their life. No-fault divorce benefits ALL genders, not just the one that the conservatives consider to be “weak.” Ask me how I know…

      If you want a divorce, now you have to have fault (sex). This is the people pushing this only chance to have it (men and women).

      Yes, very true. The key here, I think, is that the qons that support this feel that men will be given special privileges to nullify a divorce, while women will not. They may be correct in that view when it comes to typical implementation of the law…

      Also, the dumbass young men that support this and don’t like women having autonomy also may be overlooking the downside that you point out, because they lack experience with relationships. Relationships are very difficult things to maintain, but if you are getting your notion of how relationships do/should work from pickup artists, or people that compare humans to lobsters, you are going to have almost no clue about that…
