      They also think this secular nation was founded as a xtian one and that it’s the role of government to inflict their version of xtianity on everyone in the country, regardless of their personal beliefs and their right to freedom FROM religion.

      The government is only “too big” when the rules and regulations are there to protect the marginalized, under represented and vulnerable.

    You mean the guy who violently raped his wife because she suggested a doctor for a hair transplant and it went bad so Trump blamed her? That she then used as part of her reason for divorcing him, and he never forgave her for that? Oh and then she mysteriously died while he was President and unceremoniously buried on his golf course?

    It’s a shock to me that you would put together that this guy wants to control women. /s

    Yes, whatever bad things you can imagine, they’re aiming for.

    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…

      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…

    If your partner is only staying with you for legal reasons, what’s the point? (I’m a rational man that doesn’t see feminist policies as a threat.) Like sad conservative men would rather chain a unhappy woman too themselves rather than being a good partner. Modern women have changed. Gone are the days they’ll just sit and take it (on a macro scale, of course they’ll be tens of thousands of women trapped in a abusive relationship.)

    All this will do is cause the marriage and birth rates to hit rock bottom as women won’t take the risk of getting married. Also the homicide rate would skyrocket. Sad loser men will kill their spouse because they are sad little men, and abused women will only have murder as a way out.

      I will never understand not caring about being wanted, desired, or loved.

      The most special feeling in life was knowing someone loved me deeply for being kind and loving. The biggest loss in life was losing that. I miss her every day, it’s such a rare kind of love.

        Because this is what you get when a civilization holds onto dead and dying ways of thinking for way too long.

        The need for loveless marriage for physical, material, and political reasons is dead. It died over 200 years ago. But we never stopped trying to make it a thing. We grew up on the idea that love was something that just happens and isn’t something that takes a lot of time and work to create. I see it in a lot of my friends who struggle with relationships. My male or individuals that take on the traditional masculine role seem to think simply proving material things and enjoying some of the same hobbies is all it takes to be loved. Nah, it’s much deeper than that.

        I’ve also dated women who want the relationship to always feel like butterflies and hallmark commercials. We just don’t give honest depictions and expectations for what love is. It’s a major problem. Along with financial, environmental, and political issues it’s no wonder marriage and birth rates are falling. But conservatives think reintroducing women suffrage will somehow reverse the trend.

        All they’ll get is more Lorena Bobbitt situation and missing women cases.

    Yeah, no kidding. The butthurt incel types are very upset that women here have any autonomy whatsoever. I bet more than a few of them would be fine with revoking their rights to credit, as well as to driver’s licenses. Not even kidding.
