The author’s approach makes sense if men are more likely to be deeply damaged by a divorce. Women generally fare better in a divorce so they tend to be “bruised” but they can recover given some TLC. Men on the other hand lose their house, their kids, and often their financial security. So men are more likely to be totally bitter and crushed by the divorce. Some men will perceive women to be the enemy and while they will be attracted to women they will still be reluctance to trust a woman.
The law treats men and women differently in a divorce so once a couple has divorced the women realizes that she was emotionally scarred but she came out comparatively ahead in other areas. Men learn that if trust women they lose their rights.
So even though I doubt the author of the articles in question would agree with me on the motivation I would say that men are more likely to be emotionally damaged from a divorce. Of course, it would be nice if there was a little understanding that just because some men might become overly bitter that does not mean that they have no justification for some bitterness.
