Oops! I said it wrong. Divorce is biased AGAINST men. You’re right, divorce HUGELY discriminates against men.

The myth that women fare worse than men financially after a divorce has also been debunked.
That’s right. No wonder when it comes to divorce, it is women who start it. Makes sense considering how they know things will work in their favor.

It will change thanks to equality. As women reach parity in pay which is already occuring they will eventually become just as likely to be higher earners. At that point the system will begin to see change because the shoe will be on the other foot. It is inevitable.

Like I said before, women fought for certain things when it comes to equality but not for everything, at least those things that don’t work in their favor. Hope equality makes it someday to the courts and becomes nicely equally balanced between men/women but as for now, we’ll just have to accept it as it is (biased against men).

A long way to go but, oh well.

Wills can be changed at anytime.

I dunno....if I felt the need to do that I'd hope I"d have the sense to stay single instead--until I found someone I trusted or someone to whom I wouldn't mind leaving part of my estate. I just don't see the point in marrying someone you don't trust.

What is the purpose of an agreement that can be unilaterally changed at anytime? It might as well not exist. How can you claim a will solves the issues a prenup does?

True love will survive a prenup. Better to have one in place than to wish u did. If u got a dime over a nickel and u want to keep it u better get one with stats indicating love goes bad more often than stays good. Now all that being said each to his own.

A prenup removes concerns over and emphasis on money, so you can focus on love and the relationship.
