Who wants to bet Ben Carson is getting dumped?
The only way hard divorce “makes sense” is if women aren’t allowed to be independent from their husbands, otherwise she can just leave without getting a divorce.
The whole “divorce is too easy” line is one edge of the attack on women’s rights.
Fuck that, we should be making it easier and stop favoring one gender over the other in both divorce and child custody. Property/assets should be split based on who actually paid for those assets. If one person pays all or a majority of the mortgage on a property, why do they then have to split that property 50% with somebody who contributed nothing? Marriage is a dying institution that should be put out of its misery.

Because marriage is a partnership and generally the people who “contributed nothing” are the ones who gave up or significantly delayed or harmed their careers to take up the home front in the marriage.
I know a woman whose wealthy husband told her to sell her small business because she didn’t need to work. A few years later when he divorced her for a younger woman and the prenup says she gets very little, she’s out on her ass with years of no work experience and no more small business.
Ever since he was divorced of his luggage that one time, he’s devoted his whole life to never letting that happen again.
Just my subjective take, but you can add a “for women” after everything people like this say to better get the real meaning:
Carson, who is often mentioned as a potential Trump VP, writes in his new book that the U.S. should end no-fault divorce laws.
… for women
Who the fuck dug this guy up?? Put him back!
No. We have to get the grain out of the pyramids first.
Land of the free indeed
Land of the fee*
Common misconception. No harm done.
Absofuckinglutely NOT. If I’d have had to prove domestic abuse in the South to get divorced I’d be a fucking corpse by now. My ex is a very bad person.
I genuinely thought I read a story about Ben Carson dying a couple years back.
I made the same mistake earlier. It doesn’t help that “Herman Cain” continued to post after he was dead.
I think you were thinking of Herman Cain.
I was thinking of Herman Cain!
Me too! Oh, tokens.
I did the same thing as you. Took me a moment to process who was alive and dead.
Awwww shucky ducky
The right and dogshit ideas, name a more iconic duo
This is such a great suggestion, because it has tremendous benefits and absolutely no downsides. /S
FTA - “The reason this matters is that no-fault divorce legally allows marriages to end much more quickly than in previous decades. When there are relatively few legal or financial consequences connected with divorce, it’s natural for people to gravitate toward that option when their marriage hits a rough patch,” he adds. “What those people often don’t consider, however, is the harm — both present and future — inflicted on their children once a divorce is finalized.”
This dude is a moron. Newsflash mr carson, having kids trapped in a nightmare where their parents are at war with one another is way more harmful. And what the fuck is he talking about “with few financial consequences”? As someone who just finally paid off credit cards from my divorce years ago, where I never even got to touch the card, he can kiss my ass.
Yeah, I’m still fucked up by my parents not divorcing
Not to mention some of us don’t have kids nor want any lul. Carson a fucking bozo.
Surely he wouldn’t have such legislation apply to couples without children.
Of course not. For that he’ll propose legislation mandating married couples produce kids.
I’d be curious as to what kind of “legal consequences” he thinks there should be as a result of divorce? WTAF, why would there be ANY?
And, as you say, from everything I’ve heard, divorce can be financially crippling for so many.
Very good point. Being stuck in a marriage that’s unwanted or abusive can be a prison all it’s own. Does he want to add to that? Nothing like someone with a holier than thou attitude believing that his ideas of reality need to be forced onto everyone.
Good. Keep saying this, guys.
It’s a good idea in sounding, but like with all crazy legislation, good sounding titles are hiding the actual problem of the body of said legislation.
All this is going to do, is profit for lawyers.
It does not sound like a good idea. It sounds like a plot to trap people in abusive situations.
Did I ever say it was an entirely good idea? Did I?
It’s a good idea in sounding…
I responded to what you said. I didn’t say you said it was an entirely good idea.
