Divorce rights for lovers

Divorce rights for lover who split up

Wake up and smell the coffee everyone. Can't you see that the government just does one thing after another to ruin people's relationships or make them harder, then profits out of it.

If they were so concerned over this matter, a simple advertising campaign informing people that if they co-habit they do NOT have marriage rights, would have been enough. But no, now we are to have this crazy system, which is not only unjust, but will cost God knows how much to administer. The lawyers will earn more, the politicians will have more power (they'll now effectively be able to pass judgement on your sex life) and levels of distrust and suspicion amongst ordinary people will go up.

Yet at the same time as the Government is regulating everything more and more (e.g. more red-tape that makes businesses harder to start up and run), divorce is now easier than ever (£65 and a mouse click!). Can't you see the agenda here?

Outcast Superstar said...: There is a big discussion on this on the Don't Get Married Board.

I have also made blog entries on this as well.

"In UK Cohabation = Marriage" As of right now I have copied and pasted 26 comments as well.

I made a separate blog entry for a powerful comment written by uzername (not in the 26 comments I copied and pasted)

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:

"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
