The anecdotes are alarming, and I don’t like many societal trends. I think men often are treated unfairly in divorce, though I thankfully have no personal experience with it. But I find it hard to believe these anecdotes are truly representative.

I am male and have been married to the same woman for 37 years. We certainly have our frictions, regularly, but I cannot imagine not being married to her

I certainly have friends and associates who have been divorced, but most of them seem to be in stable and reasonably happy relationships. I find it hard to imagine the women I work with are, in their personal lives, gold-digging harpies, most of them anyway.

I think some of this is overstated.
