“The gender pay disparity in the U.S. is now 76.5 cents, so it’s improved but not completely. I think there’s a place for temporary alimony, to be used as a supplement when someone is raising children, but it should never be long-term, or it’s just a form of welfare.”

The whole Gender Disparity thing is the biggest load of crap ever

Because lower and middle class women do not work in certain difficult and dangerous fields – like construction – they don’t make as much

AND because they leave the workforce to have kids and marry – of course they make statistically less

Anyway – Alimony when the wife is at fault is a no brainer to abolish – or one would think so

Of course its not
