Why does this only count one way for feminists?

Answer 1

Never divorce your spouse

Answer 2

Marriage is a two way street. Why don't you help her loose weight by supporting her instead of telling her you are going to dump her if she doesn't loose weight. Why don't you work out with her? Chances are there is something about you she doesn't like, but she doesn't want to hurt your feeling. Why don't you show her some respect by helping her instead of treating her like crap. I think you are just looking for an excuse to get out of the relationship that way you don't look like the bad guy.

Answer 3

Why women are abandoning men

Remember the days when little girls grew up dreaming
about a knight in shining armor whisking them off
their feet to live happily ever after? Remember when a
woman's foremost fantasy was finding the man of her
dreams?

Well, that's all over now as women are abandoning men in droves and learning to find happiness completely on their own. Two astonishing studies show just how alarming the trend has become. First, there was the study, from the National Marriage
Project at Rutgers University and others, that two-thirds of all divorces today are initiated by women. These numbers beggar belief.

RESEARCH SHOWS that when a man leaves his marriage he
is usually leaving for another woman. Men, especially those who have already been married, don't function well on their own. They need to be taken care of. So it is rare for a man to leave his marriage unless he is leaving for someone else.
Often he trades in the mother of his children for someone who is younger and more submissive. But for wives, the very opposite is true. Ninety percent of all women who leave their husbands go out into the wild blue yonder. They are leaving
their husbands and accepting what is often lifelong single status. They would rather be alone than stay with a man who does not appreciate them. They would rather live by themselves than with a husband who doesn't speak to them, who won't share of his inner self, and who chooses the company of the TV over theirs.

The single woman may live in loneliness. But she lives
with the hope that one day she will find a soul-mate who cherishes her. But what does the married woman who is abandoned have to look forward to? In my 20 years of counseling, I have discovered that the loneliest women of all are married!

An even more shocking statistic was released last Monday by The New York Times. For the first time in American history a majority of women are living without a husband. The Times reported that 51% of all women are living without a spouse, up from 35 percent in 1950 and 49 percent in 2000. How could this possibly be?

SIMPLY STATED, women are giving up on men. Whereas they once harbored hope that men could satisfy their needs and make them feel appreciated, today they are finding far greater satisfaction in career over companionship and from female friends over husbands...

Men have a sense of entitlement toward women which
precludes them from making any honest effort to be worthy of them.The net result is that the average man has no idea of how to please a woman. He doesn't even know how to talk to her...

Now, unless women are complete toadies and sycophants,
this is not something they're going to put up with for long. So they're dumping their husbands and abandoning the whole concept of marriage...

Is it any wonder they're telling us to drop dead?
