Additionally, they win custody of any children from the marriage something like 80% of the time. Even if they get rid of their husbands, those men are still legally obligated to financially support them through alimony and child support. Marriage is like a contract where men still have to hold up their end even when women decide to break their end. Men would likely do precisely the same thing if given the enormous legal advantages women are given in marriages. Similarly, if women in other countries were given the same kind of treatment in divorce court, they'd probably start destroying men's lives just as badly as western women do. Given the extremely high divorce rate and the emotional and financial rape to be inflicted in the event of a divorce, I don't see how avoiding marriage is anything but a good +EV decision. I wouldn't assume anyone is stupid solely because they oppose the way family law works.
That said, I did find it ironic/stupid how the articles "Marry only if you want kids and "Children are so overrated" are right next to each other.
