@LizCGil I’m obsessed/frightened by the house in town that simultaneously flies a blue line flag and has a Felon 2024 yard sign. Cognitive dissonance at an elite level.
@maggiekb1@IfBooksPod I just knocked over what I was working with in the kitchen when I got to that sentence in the pod! I knew this book backwards and forwards as a kid.
@DaveRichards55@emilykmay Feminists expect both spouses to work to their capacity and to share the burden in raising children. Men get “screwed” when they want the part of the patriarchy that gives them a stay at home spouse until they get divorced and she has no demonstrable earning capacity.
@fantasticarg3@emilykmay There’s probably a equal number where fuckery by the husband prompts the filing - but I think the disparity is due to the baffling number of cases where the husband says “I want a divorce” but never does anything to progress it, leading the wife to eventually file.
@emilykmay Divorce lawyer here - when I’ve got husband and he’s the one filing first, there is usually some kind of fuckery going on with the wife. Could be slow-walking what we thought would be a resolution, or withholding the kids, or wrongfully changing the locks on the house….
