Meade :

“I lost half of my assets in the divorce…”

Therein lies the mindset, in either sex, that leads to 90% of divorces: Once married, under the law, your assets are no longer just yours; they become marital property. **Don’t want to share?** Don’t marry.

Try this: “I received half of the marital property in the divorce, along with owing half of the obligations.”

Many men are questioning this long held cultural and societal value.

-Why should a woman get half of a man’s assets he had when they married?

Men and women are equal, she worked, he worked. So why does he pay Alimony and CPS?

-Why is a woman entitled to half of what a man earns during marriage?

How on earth is Heather Mills deserving of anything more that, say, £5mln?

-Why does a woman deserve to continue to live in the manner in which she has become accustomed to?

Does her ex-husband deserve to continue to have sex with her?

Does her ex-husband deserve to continue to have her cook, clean and garden?

Many Men are questioning these long held values, and find them to be unneccessary, unequal, sexist, unfair or just out of date.
