The New Divorce
Divorce used to mean something. Either the husband was beating the stupid out of the wife- and this is something I don’t approve of personally not because they don’t deserve it because usually they do and there is a reason the bible allows a bitch beating stick no thicker than a thumb so that some sense can be instilled in them without too much permanent damage, but simply because I was profoundly moved by the movie “Burning Bed” and remember Bobitt and the merrily bouncing testicles being hucked from a speeding car to shoot like a pair of bloody pinball’s into a sewer drain and I like my balls right where they are uncut and uncrisped- or the bimbo was shacking up with some stranger either getting some venereal disease ( and why CAN’T they still be called VD instead of some stupid made up crap like STD which sounds like a motor oil instead of a bacterium which is going to melt out the insides of your junk? ) he picked up from a foreign port call or getting pregnant and then running back home and humping the husband rapidly for a week or three so he is convinced the kid popping out looking just like the milkman is actually his (at the same time wondering why his junk is burning ).

Divorce used to mean you weren’t upholding the contractual obligations. I mean, think about it. Marriage is a very serious business. You are about to become financially responsible ( or dependent ) for/on someone else for a lifetime. With responsibilities towards rearing children correctly. Those lives hang in your balance ( a responsibility teachers and schools also take on and bungle/butcher to the point I’m thinking of adding them to my Lamppost List ). In return of course were awesome benefits. But not anymore. Now, divorce is as easy peasy as changing credit cards or apartments. No, your honor, I didn’t feel that my husband matched my new drapes. I need a divorce. Okay, fine. I’m not saying near impossible divorce was necessarily much better than Any Reason divorce. But the rules have become so skewed that it has become something outside the males choice. If a women decides you need to be replaced, and has no other reason for it than the mush mouth “incompatibility”, you get screwed. Because while every aspect of society is geared towards women’s equality, when it comes to divorce the old rules still apply towards males. They are still assumed to be the sole breadwinner and the wife needs financial compensation. Even if she has her own career, even if she chooses to leave for no real reason. Obviously, things differ state to state, but in general in an age of equality being male will get you treated very unequally. You WILL be screwed and no railing at the alter of justice will change that. It is just the way it is. You can be bitter and betrayed and cynical from therein, but you will be screwed. Welcome to the new divorce.
